Mark 7 : 27

Greek frames the clause with the articular subject and the conjunction (ὁ … καὶ Ἰησοῦς), placing the name after the verb in narrative idiom; the Vulgate renders with the relative Qui dixit and a postponed proper name implied; the Peshitta uses a paratactic ܘܐܡܪ ('and he said') with the name immediately following. The traditions converge semantically but differ in how the subject is introduced.

Greek employs the imperfect ἔλεγεν ('he was saying'), conveying durative or repeated speech; both the Vulgate dixit and the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ use a simple aorist/perfect ('he said'), flattening the Greek aspectual nuance.

Greek uses the passive infinitive χορτασθῆναι ('to be satisfied/filled'), matched by the Latin passive saturari; the Peshitta renders with a finite verbal complement ܕܢܣܒܥܘܢ ('that they may be satisfied'), substituting a subordinate clause for the infinitive, a typical Syriac strategy.

Greek ἐστιν is present tense ('it is not good'), and the Vulgate non est follows suit; the Peshitta ܠܐ ܗܘܬ employs a past/perfect form ('it was not'), a Syriac idiom for general gnomic statements that does not necessarily signal past time.

Greek uses the diminutive κυναρίοις ('little dogs/house-dogs'), a softened term echoed in the dialogue with the Syrophoenician woman; both the Vulgate canibus and the Peshitta ܠܟܠܒܐ use the unmarked word for 'dogs', losing the diminutive nuance present in the Greek.

Greek βαλεῖν ('to cast/throw') is an infinitive coordinated with λαβεῖν; the Vulgate mittere mirrors the infinitive, while the Peshitta ܘܢܪܡܐ ('and that one should throw') again renders with a finite subordinate verb, consistent with its earlier treatment of the infinitives in this verse.
