Mark 1 : 33

Greek places the adjective ὅλη before the noun πόλις with intervening article (ὅλη ἡ πόλις), following standard attributive position. Syriac reverses this to ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗ (city + all with pronominal suffix), reflecting typical Semitic noun-adjective order. Vulgate follows Greek word order (omnis civitas) but without article, as Latin lacks the definite article.

Greek uses the preposition πρὸς with accusative article τὴν θύραν, emphasizing motion or orientation toward the door. Latin mirrors this with ad + accusative januam. Syriac employs the preposition ܥܠ (ʿal, 'upon/at') with ܬܪܥܐ in the emphatic state, a common Syriac idiom for spatial proximity that is semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct from the Greek directional construction.
