Mark 2 : 5

Greek uses the aorist participle ἰδών with coordinating καὶ...δέ ('and seeing now'); the Peshitta employs a subordinating temporal construction with ܟܕ ('when [he] saw'), and the Vulgate likewise renders a temporal clause Cum...vidisset with pluperfect subjunctive. The three traditions thus express the same circumstantial action through different syntactic means.

Greek supplies the articular nominative ὁ Ἰησοῦς; both the Peshitta (ܝܫܘܥ) and the Vulgate (Jesus) render the name anarthrously, since neither Syriac nor Latin marks the proper noun with a definite article here.

Greek expresses 'their faith' analytically as article + noun + genitive pronoun (τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν), matched by Latin fidem illorum; the Peshitta compresses this into a single inflected form ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ bearing the 3rd-plural possessive suffix, a typical Syriac synthetic construction.

Greek and Syriac both supply a demonstrative/article before 'paralytic' (τῷ παραλυτικῷ; ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ, lit. 'to that paralytic'), whereas the Vulgate renders the dative paralytico without a determiner, Latin lacking a definite article.

The Greek marks the boundary before direct speech with a raised point appended to παραλυτικῷ·, and the Vulgate uses a discrete colon token; the Peshitta carries no punctuation token at this juncture, reflecting editorial rather than textual difference.

Greek repeats the possessive pronoun σου after ἁμαρτίαι, attesting the redundant double-σου reading ('your sins of you'); the Peshitta encodes possession once via the suffix on ܚܛܗܝܟ, while the Vulgate renders a single tua, neither tradition reproducing the Greek pleonasm.
