Mark 15 : 31

Greek ὁμοίως and Latin Similiter are simple adverbs ('likewise'); the Syriac ܘܗܟܢܐ prefixes the conjunctive waw ('and thus'), folding the connective δέ/et into a single demonstrative-adverbial form rather than rendering it as a separate particle.

The Greek transitional particle δέ ('now/but') has no discrete counterpart in either the Vulgate or the Peshitta; the Vulgate et and the Syriac ܐܦ render only the adjunctive καί, leaving the postpositive δέ unrepresented.

Greek ἐμπαίζοντες and Latin illudentes are single present participles; the Syriac expresses the durative aspect periphrastically with the active participle ܓܚܟܝܢ plus the auxiliary ܗܘܘ ('were mocking'), a standard Syriac construction for continuous past action.

Greek πρὸς ἀλλήλους and Latin ad alterutrum use a reciprocal pronoun ('to one another'); the Syriac renders the reciprocity idiomatically as ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ('one with one'), distributing the sense across three tokens rather than a single pronoun.

Greek ἔλεγον (imperfect) and Latin dicebant render the durative 'were saying'; the Syriac ܘܐܡܪܝܢ uses the participle with prefixed waw. The Vulgate's colon (token 10) marks the onset of direct speech, a punctuational feature absent as a discrete token in the Greek and Syriac.

Greek ἄλλους ἔσωσεν and Latin alios salvos fecit ('others he saved/made safe') employ the verb of salvation; the Syriac ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ uses the root kh-y-a 'to give life/quicken', a lexical choice that frames deliverance as life-giving rather than rescue, consistent with Syriac usage for σῴζω.

Greek δύναται and Latin potest both denote ability ('he is able'); the Syriac ܡܫܟܚ derives from the root sh-k-kh ('to find/be able'), the regular Syriac verb for capacity, a cognate-but-distinct lexical choice for the modal sense.

Greek σῶσαι (aorist infinitive 'to save') is matched by the Syriac infinitive ܠܡܚܝܘ ('to give life', root kh-y-a) and the Latin periphrastic salvum facere ('to make safe'). The Vulgate's preceding semicolon (token 14) punctuates the antithesis between the two clauses.
