Mark 9 : 2

Greek employs the article ὁ with Ἰησοῦς, a standard Greek construction; Syriac ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ and Latin assumit Jesus lack the article, as neither language requires it with proper names in this syntactic position.

Greek uses repeated article-noun pairs (τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τὸν Ἰάκωβον καὶ τὸν Ἰωάννην) with polysyndeton; Vulgate mirrors this with Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem; Syriac employs a more compact construction ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ with prefixed prepositions but without articles, reflecting typical Semitic asyndetic coordination.

Greek ἀναφέρει ('brings up') emphasizes upward motion; Syriac ܘܐܣܩ ('and he brought up') uses a cognate root; Vulgate ducit ('leads') is more general, lacking the explicit vertical directionality of the Greek and Syriac verbs.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase κατ᾽ ἰδίαν μόνους ('apart, alone') with two terms for emphasis; Vulgate employs seorsum solos, mirroring the Greek doublet; Syriac condenses this to the single adverbial phrase ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ('by themselves alone'), achieving the same semantic force with greater economy.

Greek καὶ μετεμορφώθη is a simple aorist passive construction; Syriac ܘܐܬܚܠܦ uses the ethpeel (passive-reflexive) stem; Vulgate expands to transfiguratus est with auxiliary verb, a periphrastic construction typical of later Latin prose style.
