Mark 6 : 50

The Greek places the object pronoun αὐτόν before the verb εἶδον, and Latin follows the Greek order with the verb-first arrangement (viderunt eum). Syriac fuses the object pronominal suffix onto the verb (ܚܙܐܘܗܝ, 'they-saw-him'), a single morphological word reflecting standard Aramaic synthetic syntax.

Greek uses a single aorist passive ἐταράχθησαν ('they were troubled'); Latin renders it periphrastically with participle plus auxiliary (conturbati sunt); Syriac uses a simple peal perfect ܘܕܚܠܘ from d-kh-l ('they feared/were afraid'), which leans toward fear rather than agitation, a slight lexical shift in emotional nuance.

Greek εὐθύς and Latin statim are single adverbs ('immediately'); Syriac employs the idiomatic temporal phrase ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ('son of its hour', i.e. 'at that very moment'), a characteristic Aramaic periphrasis for immediacy.

Greek shifts to the historic present λέγει ('he says'), a Markan stylistic vividism; both Latin (dixit) and Syriac (the perfect prefixed within ܘܐܡܪ) normalise this to a past tense, smoothing the tense alternation typical of the secondary versions.
