Mark 7 : 10

Greek εἶπεν and Syriac ܐܡܪ are simple finite verbs of saying; the Vulgate splits the speech-introducing verb dixit from its colon, the latter being editorial punctuation marking the quotation, with no semantic difference.

Greek uses article + noun + enclitic possessive (τὸν πατέρα σου) and Latin uses noun + possessive adjective (patrem tuum); Syriac compactly expresses 'your father' through the single inflected form ܠܐܒܘܟ with the object marker ܠ and 2ms suffix, a typical Semitic synthetic construction.

Greek connects the second clause with a simple καὶ; the Vulgate marks a second distinct scriptural citation with Et followed by an editorial colon (Et :), reflecting the Latin tradition's awareness that a separate Pentateuchal commandment (Exod 21:17) is here being quoted.

Greek employs an articular present participle (ὁ κακολογῶν, 'the one reviling'); both Syriac (ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ, 'and whoever reviles') and Latin (Qui maledixerit, 'whoever shall have reviled') recast this as a relative clause, with the Vulgate further specifying a future-perfect aspect absent from the Greek participle.

All three read 'father' as the object of the reviling, but Greek πατέρα is anarthrous, Syriac ܠܐܒܐ carries the object marker ܠ with the emphatic state, and Latin patri stands in the dative governed by maledixerit, reflecting differing case-government of the verb 'to curse'.

Greek and Latin use the disjunctive 'or' (ἢ / vel), whereas the Syriac ܘܠܐܡܐ employs the conjunctive 'and' (ܘ) plus object marker, a frequent Semitic idiom in which 'and' covers a distributive/disjunctive sense, here 'father and (or) mother'.

The object 'mother' is expressed as bare πατέρα... μητέρα in Greek and dative matri in Latin, but in Syriac it is fused with its conjunction and object marker into ܘܠܐܡܐ, paralleling the synthetic treatment seen earlier in the verse.
