Mark 2 : 25

The Greek opens with the connective Καὶ and the Vulgate with Et; the Peshitta omits the initial conjunction, preferring to begin the clause asyndetically with the verb ܐܡܪ, a common Syriac narrative pattern.

Greek uses the historic present λέγει ('says') while the Vulgate ait and the Peshitta perfect ܐܡܪ ('said') render it as a past; both versions normalise the Markan vivid present into a simple narrative past tense.

The emphatic Greek subject pronoun αὐτὸς ('he himself') is left untranslated in both the Peshitta and the Vulgate, which let the verbal inflection carry the subject; the Peshitta instead supplies the explicit name ܝܫܘܥ.

The Peshitta makes the subject explicit by inserting the proper name ܝܫܘܥ ('Jesus'), a frequent Syriac clarifying expansion where the Greek relies only on the pronoun αὐτὸς.

Greek ἐποίησεν and Peshitta ܥܒܕ are indicative aorist/perfect ('did'), whereas the Vulgate fecerit is subjunctive, reflecting Latin's preference for the subjunctive in indirect questions introduced by quid.

Greek and Latin use a noun-plus-verb periphrasis (χρείαν ἔσχεν / necessitatem habuit, 'had need'); the Peshitta condenses this into the single verb ܐܣܬܢܩ ('he was in need'), an Ethpaal denominative idiom.

The Vulgate closes with an explicit question mark, matching the Greek interrogative αὐτοῦ;; the Peshitta carries no terminal punctuation token in this edition.
