Mark 3 : 34

Greek employs a double participial construction (περιβλεψάμενος + καθημένους) with prepositional phrase περὶ αὐτὸν κύκλῳ ('around him in a circle'); Vulgate mirrors this with circumspiciens + sedebant + in circuitu ejus; Peshitta simplifies to a relative clause construction ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܠܘܬܗ ('in those who were sitting near him'), omitting the redundant circular imagery while preserving the core sense.

Vulgate inserts a colon after ait to mark direct discourse, a Latin scribal convention absent in Greek and Syriac manuscripts which use no punctuation or rely on contextual markers.

Greek uses the article ἡ with μήτηρ μου ('the mother of mine'), a Semitic-influenced construction; Vulgate omits the article (mater mea) following classical Latin norms; Peshitta ܐܡܝ ('my mother') uses a pronominal suffix, the standard Syriac possessive construction, semantically equivalent but morphologically distinct.

Peshitta repeats the presentative particle ܘܗܐ ('and behold') before 'my brothers,' creating a parallel bicolon structure typical of Syriac rhetorical style; Greek and Latin use simple conjunction καὶ / et without repetition of the deictic marker.

Greek employs the article οἱ with ἀδελφοί μου ('the brothers of mine'); Vulgate omits the article (fratres mei) per Latin usage; Peshitta ܐܚܝ ('my brothers') uses pronominal suffix, mirroring the construction in the previous clause for stylistic parallelism.
