Mark 8 : 22

Greek supplies the preposition εἰς before Βηθσαϊδάν; the Vulgate uses the bare accusative Bethsaidam without a preposition (a Latinate accusative of motion-toward), and Syriac prefixes the directional lamadh in ܠܒܝܬ-ܨܝܕܐ. All three name the same place but encode direction differently.

Greek φέρουσιν ('they bring') and Latin adducunt ('they lead up to') are 3rd-person plural; the Syriac ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ('and they brought', root y-th-y) is fused with the conjunction and is here treated together with that conjunction, but renders the same act of bringing.

Greek παρακαλοῦσιν is a single present indicative; the Vulgate rogabant shifts to imperfect ('they kept asking'), and the Syriac employs a periphrastic past with the auxiliary ܗܘܘ (ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ), matching the Latin durative aspect more closely than the Greek present.

Greek expresses the object of touching with a genitive pronoun governed by ἅπτομαι (αὐτοῦ ἅψηται), the verb's normal case-government; both Latin (illum tangeret) and Syriac (ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗ, 'that he might draw near to him') use an accusative/dative object, the Syriac additionally rendering 'touch' with the verb q-r-b ('approach, come near') rather than a strict 'touch' lexeme.
