Mark 2 : 24

Greek καὶ ('and') is omitted in both Peshitta and Vulgate, which begin the Pharisees' speech without a coordinating conjunction. This reflects a stylistic preference in both traditions to avoid redundant connectives when narrative flow is clear from context.

Greek uses the article + noun construction (οἱ Φαρισαῖοι) with the article preceding the verb; Vulgate places Pharisæi in initial position without an article (Latin lacking definite articles); Peshitta places ܦܪܝܫܐ after the verb. These represent standard word-order conventions in each language rather than semantic divergence.

Greek uses a prepositional phrase with article and dative plural (ἐν τοῖς σάββασιν, 'on the Sabbaths'); Vulgate employs dative plural without preposition or article (sabbatis); Peshitta uses preposition + singular noun (ܒܫܒܬܐ, 'on the Sabbath'). The Syriac singular is a collective idiom typical for recurring time periods, semantically equivalent to the Greek/Latin plurals.

Greek employs the relative pronoun ὃ ('that which') to introduce the relative clause; Vulgate uses quod in parallel construction; Peshitta inserts ܡܕܡ ('something/anything'), an indefinite pronoun that functions as the object of the relative clause introduced by ܕ. This represents a Syriac syntactic preference for explicit objects in relative constructions.
