Mark 10 : 43

Greek places the adversative δέ third (οὐχ οὕτως δέ ἐστιν), while Peshitta places ܕܝܢ second (ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ) and Vulgate places autem fourth (Non ita est autem). All three express the same contrastive negation, differing only in particle placement according to each language's syntactic conventions.

Greek employs the indefinite relative construction ὃς ἂν (relative pronoun + modal particle) to express 'whoever'; Latin uses the compound relative quicumque; Peshitta uses the interrogative ܡܢ ('who') with the relative particle ܕ, a standard Syriac idiom for indefinite relatives. All three convey identical indefinite agency.

Greek uses the infinitive construction μέγας γενέσθαι ἐν ὑμῖν ('to become great among you'), repeating the prepositional phrase ἐν ὑμῖν from the protasis. Peshitta employs ܒܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒܐ ('among you that he become great'), using a subordinate clause with ܕ and placing the locative phrase before the verb. Vulgate uses the simple infinitive fieri major without repeating the locative, assuming vobis from context. These represent three distinct syntactic strategies for expressing the same conditional result.
