Mark 3 : 35

Greek places the modal particle ἂν after γάρ, creating the indefinite relative construction ὃς γὰρ ἄν ('whoever'); Peshitta positions ܓܝܪ ('for') after the verb ܕܢܥܒܕ, while Vulgate mirrors Greek word order with Qui enim. All three express the same indefinite relative sense despite positional variation.

Greek uses aorist subjunctive ποιήσῃ (contingent action); Latin employs future perfect fecerit (completed future action); Syriac ܕܢܥܒܕ uses the imperfect with ܕ- prefix (habitual/modal action). These represent functionally equivalent modal constructions in their respective grammatical systems.

Greek uses the demonstrative pronoun οὗτος ('this one') as subject; Latin employs the demonstrative hic with identical function; Syriac uses the third-person plural pronoun ܗܘܝܘ ('they are'), treating the collective kinship terms as a plural subject rather than singular distributive. This reflects differing strategies for expressing generic reference.

Greek and Latin repeat the possessive pronoun with each kinship term (μου... καὶ ἀδελφὴ μου / meus... et soror mea); Syriac employs a single pronominal suffix on the conjunction ܘܚܬܝ ('and-my-sister'), a typical Semitic economy where the possessive extends across coordinated nouns without repetition.

Greek and Latin explicitly include the copula ἐστίν / est ('is'); Syriac omits the copula, relying on the nominal sentence construction typical of Semitic languages where the verb 'to be' is implied in present-tense predication. The earlier ܗܘܝܘ functions as the subject pronoun, not a copula.
