Mark 10 : 35

All three use the historic present plural ('they come up to him'); the Syriac ܘܩܪܒܘ conjoins the conjunction and verb into a single token and is morphologically perfective ('and they drew near'), whereas Greek προσπορεύονται and Latin accedunt preserve the vivid present tense.

Greek reads οἱ δύο ('the two sons of Zebedee') with the article and numeral; both the Peshitta (ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ) and the Vulgate (filii Zebedæi) omit the numeral 'two,' a reading shared with much of the Western and Syriac tradition that does not specify the count.

Greek λέγοντες is an aorist-aspect-neutral present participle ('saying'); the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪܝܢ adds a coordinating conjunction and uses an active participle, while Latin dicentes mirrors the Greek participial syntax exactly.

Greek and Syriac both supply the dative/lamadh pronoun 'to him' (αὐτῷ / ܠܗ), introducing the direct speech; the Vulgate replaces this with a colon (:) as a punctuation marker of reported speech rather than a lexical pronoun.

Greek θέλομεν and Latin volumus express the first person plural 'we wish' synthetically in a single verb; Syriac analytically separates the participle ܨܒܝܢ from the enclitic subject pronoun ܚܢܢ ('we'), a standard Syriac periphrastic construction.

Greek expresses the indefinite relative analytically as ὃ ἐάν ('whatever, if'); the Peshitta ܕܟܠ ('that all/whatever') and Latin quodcumque both render this indefinite relative as a single compact form, a construction-level equivalence.

Greek explicitly names the object of asking with σε ('you,' i.e., Jesus) alongside αἰτήσωμεν; both the Peshitta ܕܢܫܐܠ and the Vulgate petierimus omit the explicit pronoun 'you,' leaving the addressee implicit, a typical economy in both versions.

All three transmit the dative/lamadh 'for us' (ἡμῖν / ܠܢ / nobis); the Greek token carries the paragraph marker (¶) indicating a pericope break, a feature absent from the Syriac and Latin tokenisation here.
