Mark 4 : 22

Greek employs οὐ γάρ ἐστιν τί (negation + particle + verb + indefinite pronoun); Peshitta uses ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ (negative existential + particle + indefinite), a standard Syriac construction; Vulgate mirrors Greek word order with Non est enim aliquid. All three express identical semantics despite minor syntactic variation.

Greek uses a complex conditional-purpose construction (ὃ ἐὰν μὴ ἵνα φανερωθῇ, 'which [exists] only in order that it be manifested'), employing a relative pronoun, conditional particle, double negative, and purpose clause. Peshitta simplifies to ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ('that it not be revealed'), a straightforward negative purpose clause lacking the conditional nuance. Vulgate preserves the Greek relative structure (quod non manifestetur) but omits ἐὰν μή, yielding a simpler relative clause of purpose.

Greek οὐδέ and Peshitta ܘܠܐ function as coordinating conjunctions ('nor/and not'). Vulgate inserts a colon before nec, marking a stronger rhetorical pause and treating the second clause as a parallel restatement rather than seamless continuation.

Greek ἀπόκρυφον (G614, 'secret, hidden thing') and Vulgate occultum are precise cognates. Peshitta ܒܛܘܫܝܐ derives from the root ܛܫܐ ('to hide'), forming a nominal meaning 'in hiddenness/secrecy'—semantically equivalent but employing a prepositional phrase rather than a standalone adjective.
