Mark 5 : 35

Greek ἔτι and Latin Adhuc are bare adverbs ('still, yet'), while the Syriac ܘܥܕ prefixes the conjunction waw ('and-while'), binding the genitive-absolute clause more tightly into the narrative flow — a typical Syriac discourse marker.

Greek employs a genitive absolute (αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος); Latin reproduces it with an ablative absolute (eo loquente); Syriac uses an independent pronoun plus participle (ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ), an analytic circumstantial clause — three different grammatical strategies for the same temporal subordination.

Greek ἔρχονται and Latin veniunt are present tense (historic present); the Syriac ܐܬܘ is a perfect ('they came'), reflecting the Syriac tendency to render the Greek historic present as a simple past.

Greek τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου and Latin archisynagogo render the compound 'ruler of the synagogue' as a single titular noun, whereas the Syriac unfolds it into ܕܒܝܬ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ, literally 'from the house of the chief of the assembly,' adding ܕܒܝܬ ('of the house of') and thereby specifying that the messengers came from Jairus' household.

Greek ὅτι introduces direct discourse (recitative ὅτι); Latin renders this with a colon plus Quia, and Syriac prefixes the dalath relative (ܕ-) onto ܒܪܬܟ — all three mark the boundary of reported speech but by distinct syntactic means.

Greek uses article + noun + genitive pronoun (ἡ θυγάτηρ σου) and Latin the noun + possessive (filia tua); the Syriac compresses the whole phrase into a single inflected form ܕܒܪܬܟ ('that your daughter'), incorporating the relative particle and the 2ms possessive suffix.

Greek τὸν διδάσκαλον and Latin magistrum use article/bare accusative; the Syriac ܠܡܠܦܢܐ prefixes the object marker lamadh to 'the teacher.' The Greek and Latin both mark interrogation explicitly (; / ?), preserved by the editorial punctuation absent in the unpointed Syriac.
