Mark 15 : 36

Greek and Peshitta place the indefinite pronoun (τις / ܚܕ) immediately after the conjunction, while Vulgate inserts the coordinating conjunction 'et' before the following participle, creating a slightly different syntactic flow but identical semantic content.

Greek uses περιτίθημι ('to place around') with the postpositive particle τε, while Peshitta employs ܐܣܪ ('to bind/tie') and Vulgate uses circumponens ('placing around'). The Syriac verb emphasizes the fastening action, whereas Greek and Latin focus on the surrounding placement, though all convey the same physical action of affixing the sponge to the reed.

Greek and Peshitta use singular participle forms (λέγων / ܘܐܡܪܘ), while Vulgate employs the present participle 'dicens' followed by a colon for punctuation. The Peshitta form ܘܐܡܪܘ appears to be plural, suggesting multiple speakers rather than the singular subject, representing a minor grammatical divergence in number agreement.

Greek uses the aorist infinitive καθελεῖν ('to take down') with direct object, Peshitta employs the participle ܡܚܬ with prepositional phrase ܠܗ ('bringing down to him'), and Vulgate uses the gerund construction 'ad deponendum eum' ('for the purpose of taking him down'). All three express purpose but through different grammatical mechanisms: Greek infinitive of purpose, Syriac participial construction, and Latin gerund with ad.
