Mark 14 : 71

The Vulgate inserts a colon after jurare to mark the transition to direct discourse, treating ὅτι recitativum as punctuation rather than translating it. Greek ὅτι and Syriac ܕ (d-) function as complementizers introducing the oath's content without punctuation breaks.

Greek uses the negative particle οὐκ with finite verb οἶδα; Syriac employs the compound negative particle ܕܠܐ (d-lā, 'that-not') with the participle ܝܕܥ, a standard Syriac construction for negated complements. Latin nescio lexicalizes the negation within the verb itself ('not-know').

The Peshitta adds the explicit subject pronoun ܐܢܐ ('I'), which is implicit in the Greek first-person verb οἶδα and the Latin nescio. This represents typical Syriac preference for overt subject pronouns in emphatic or contrastive contexts.

Greek employs a relative pronoun ὃν with second-person plural verb λέγετε ('whom you say'); Syriac uses the relative particle ܕ with verb ܐܡܪܝܢ plus explicit pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ ('that you [pl.] say'); Latin uses quem with dicitis. All three express the same relative clause structure with minor morphosyntactic variation reflecting each language's typology.
