Mark 1 : 41

The Greek opens with the resumptive article ὁ ('and he'), matched by the Syriac demonstrative pronoun ܗܘ; the Vulgate has no corresponding pronominal element, expressing the subject directly through the proper noun Jesus.

Greek καί here functions as a loose connective; the Peshitta employs the adversative-resumptive particle ܕܝܢ and the Vulgate autem, both of which carry a mild contrastive/transitional nuance ('but/now') absent from the simple Greek conjunction.

The Greek single participle σπλαγχνισθείς ('moved with compassion') is rendered analytically in both Syriac (ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ, 'he had mercy on him') and Latin (misertus ejus), each supplying an explicit pronominal object/complement that the absolute Greek participle leaves implicit.

The Greek expresses possession with an independent genitive pronoun αὐτοῦ following the noun; Syriac encodes it as a pronominal suffix on ܐܝܕܗ ('his hand') already counted with the noun, while Latin uses the possessive adjective suam.

Greek ἥψατο ('he touched') from ἅπτω is rendered in the Peshitta by the root q-r-b (ܩܪܒ ܠܗ, lit. 'he drew near to him'), a recurrent Syriac equivalent for ritual touching; the Vulgate uses the participle tangens eum within a colon-bracketed clause, a different syntactic placement of the same act.

The Greek paratactic καί ('and') coordinating the touching and speaking is matched by the Vulgate et; in the Peshitta the conjunction is prefixed to ܘܐܡܪ rather than standing as a separate token.

Greek uses the vivid historic present λέγει ('says'); the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ and the Vulgate ait both render the verb as a simple past/aorist, normalising the Marcan dramatic present tense typical of these versions.

The dative indirect object 'to him' (αὐτῷ / illi) accompanies the verb of speaking in Greek and Latin; in the Peshitta the corresponding ܠܗ has been attached to the preceding verb of touching (q-r-b), reflecting a divergent clause boundary.

The Clementine Vulgate inserts colons before and after Volo (illi : Volo : mundare), graphically isolating the direct speech and the two imperatival utterances; neither the Greek nor the Syriac transmits this punctuational segmentation.
