Mark 14 : 9

The Peshitta prefixes the conjunction ܘ ('and') to ἀμήν, creating ܘܐܡܝܢ, whereas Greek ἀμὴν δὲ uses the postpositive particle δέ. Both traditions mark the transition, but Syriac employs its standard coordinating conjunction while Greek uses the contrastive/continuative particle.

Greek δέ ('now/but') is omitted in both Peshitta and Vulgate. The Peshitta absorbs the connective function into the prefixed ܘ on ܐܡܝܢ; Latin omits entirely, relying on context for the discourse transition.

The Peshitta explicitly supplies the first-person pronoun ܐܢܐ ('I'), whereas Greek λέγω ὑμῖν encodes the subject in verbal morphology alone. Vulgate dico vobis likewise omits an explicit subject pronoun, following Latin convention. This is a typical Syriac clarifying gloss.

Greek uses the compound conditional ὅπου ἐάν ('wherever'); Peshitta employs ܕܟܠ ܐܝܟܐ ('that all/every where'), a distributive construction; Vulgate compresses into the single adverb ubicumque. All three convey universal scope, but through distinct syntactic strategies.

Greek τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο uses article + noun + demonstrative; Peshitta ܣܒܪܬܝ ܗܕܐ ('my gospel this') employs a first-person possessive suffix on 'gospel', absent in Greek and Latin. This Syriac possessive may reflect interpretive emphasis on apostolic ownership or may be a stylistic variant for 'this gospel [I preach]'.

Greek εἰς ὅλον τὸν κόσμον uses preposition + adjective + article + noun; Peshitta ܒܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ('in-all-of-it world') employs a pronominal suffix on 'all' for totality; Vulgate in universo mundo uses the adjective universus. All convey 'the whole world', but Syriac's suffixal construction is more compact.

Greek καί ('and/also') is rendered by Peshitta ܘܐܦ ('and also/even'), which intensifies the additive force, and Vulgate et ('and'). The Syriac ܐܦ adds mild emphasis ('even what she did'), slightly stronger than the Greek conjunction alone.

Greek ὃ ἐποίησεν αὕτη ('what this-woman did') uses a relative pronoun + verb + demonstrative subject; Peshitta ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܗܕܐ ('thing that-did this-one') employs the indefinite ܡܕܡ ('thing/what') + relative clause; Vulgate quod fecit hæc mirrors Greek structure. Syriac's ܡܕܡ is a common idiom for relative 'what', semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek λαληθήσεται ('will be spoken') is a future passive of λαλέω; Peshitta ܢܬܡܠܠ uses the ethpeal (passive) of ܡܠܠ, cognate to λαλέω; Vulgate narrabitur ('will be narrated') employs narrare, which emphasizes storytelling over mere speaking. Latin slightly shifts the semantic field toward narrative recounting.

Greek εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς ('for a memorial of-her') uses preposition + noun + genitive pronoun; Peshitta ܠܕܘܟܪܢܗ ('for-memorial-of-her') employs a single word with pronominal suffix; Vulgate in memoriam ejus uses preposition + accusative + genitive. Syriac's suffixal economy compresses the phrase, while Greek and Latin use analytic constructions.
