Mark 14 : 27

Greek employs the article ὁ with Ἰησοῦς (nominative with article), a standard Greek construction; Syriac and Latin lack articles and use the bare proper name, reflecting their respective grammatical systems.

Vulgate inserts a colon after 'Jesus' to mark direct discourse, while Greek uses ὅτι as a conjunction introducing indirect discourse; Peshitta employs the particle ܕ (d-) prefixed to ܟܠܟܘܢ, functioning as a complementizer without punctuation break.

Peshitta prefixes the universal quantifier to the pronoun as a single bound form ܕܟܠܟܘܢ ('that-all-of-you'), whereas Greek and Latin separate πάντες/Omnes as independent lexemes, reflecting differing strategies for emphasis and syntactic cohesion.

Greek uses prepositional phrase ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ with article and demonstrative following the noun; Syriac reverses to demonstrative-noun order ܒܗܢܐ ܠܠܝܐ ('in-this night'); Latin follows Greek order (in nocte ista), but all three convey identical temporal reference.

Greek ὅτι and Syriac ܓܝܪ (gēr, 'for') both introduce the scriptural citation causally, while Vulgate uses quia ('because') preceded by a colon, making the causal relationship more explicit through punctuation.

Greek γέγραπται is a perfect passive periphrastic ('it has been written'); Syriac ܟܬܝܒ is a simple passive participle; Vulgate expands to scriptum est with explicit copula, all conveying the same scriptural authority formula but with differing verbal aspect and explicitness.

Greek uses the article τὸν with ποιμένα (accusative definite); Syriac ܠܪܥܝܐ employs the prefixed preposition-article ܠ ('to-the'); Latin pastorem lacks an article, as Latin has no article system, but the definiteness is contextually understood from the Zechariah 13:7 quotation.

Greek τὰ πρόβατα ('the sheep', neuter plural) and Latin oves ('sheep', feminine plural) both use common livestock terminology; Syriac ܐܡܪܘܗܝ ('his lambs', with possessive suffix) substitutes a diminutive/affectionate term and adds a possessive pronoun not present in Greek or Latin, intensifying the pastoral imagery and the shepherd's ownership.
