Mark 1 : 34

Greek uses adverb + participle (κακῶς ἔχοντας, 'being badly'); Vulgate employs a relative clause with passive verb (qui vexabantur, 'who were afflicted'); Peshitta uses adverbial phrase + active participle + auxiliary (ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ, 'who were made badly'), all expressing the same concept of illness through different syntactic strategies.

Greek uses article + noun (τὰ δαιμόνια, 'the demons') as direct object of the infinitive; Vulgate uses pronoun ea ('them') for economy; Peshitta inserts dative pronoun ܠܗܘܢ ('to them') before repeating ܠܕܝܘܐ ('to the demons'), a characteristic Syriac double-object construction clarifying the indirect object relationship.

Greek pluperfect ᾔδεισαν ('they had known') and Vulgate imperfect sciebant ('they knew') both express past knowledge; Peshitta uses active participle + auxiliary (ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ, 'who were knowing'), a periphrastic construction standard in Syriac for expressing past progressive or stative meaning.

Greek NA28 includes Χριστὸν εἶναι ('to be Christ') as the content of the demons' knowledge, completing the ὅτι-clause. Both Peshitta and Vulgate omit this christological identification, ending the verse with the simple acknowledgment that the demons knew him, creating a substantive theological difference regarding what the demons recognized.
