Mark 4 : 28

Greek αὐτομάτη ('of itself, spontaneously') is rendered by Peshitta ܡܝܬܝܐ ܠܗ ('brings to itself'), a periphrastic construction conveying agency rather than spontaneity. Vulgate ultro ('freely, of its own accord') preserves the Greek semantic emphasis on autonomous action.

Greek places the article-noun phrase ἡ γῆ after the conjunction γάρ; Peshitta and Vulgate position the noun (ܐܪܥܐ / terra) before the conjunction, reflecting standard Semitic and Latin word order for postpositive particles.

Greek πρῶτον (adverbial accusative 'first') and Vulgate primum are simple adverbs; Peshitta employs ܘܠܘܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ('and beforehand it was'), a verbal construction with the copula ܗܘܐ, creating a temporal clause rather than an adverbial modifier.

Greek εἶτα ('then, next') is matched by Vulgate deinde; Peshitta uses ܘܒܬܪܗ ('and after it'), a prepositional phrase with pronominal suffix, making the temporal sequence more explicit through anaphoric reference.

Greek and Vulgate place the adjective before the noun (πλήρης σῖτον / plenum frumentum, 'full grain'); Peshitta reverses to ܚܛܬܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܬܐ ('grain complete'), following standard Semitic attributive adjective placement after the substantive.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ ('in the ear') with article; Vulgate mirrors this with in spica; Peshitta employs the bound form ܒܫܒܠܐ ('in-the-ear'), a single morphological unit without separate article, reflecting Semitic construct-state syntax.
