Mark 5 : 33

The Vulgate omits the definite article, beginning directly with 'Mulier' (woman), whereas Greek retains the article Ἡ and Peshitta uses the demonstrative pronoun ܗܝ ('she/that one'). This is a stylistic difference reflecting Latin's lack of a definite article system.

Greek uses two aorist participles (φοβηθεῖσα καὶ τρέμουσα, 'having been frightened and trembling') coordinated by καί. Syriac employs a temporal particle ܟܕ ('while/when') governing two adjectives (ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܪܬܝܬܐ, 'afraid and trembling'). Latin uses two present participles (timens et tremens) without subordinating particle. All three convey simultaneous states but with different syntactic strategies.

Greek uses a perfect participle εἰδυῖα ('knowing') with relative pronoun ὃ and perfect verb γέγονεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ ('what has happened to her'). Syriac employs a d-clause construction ܕܝܕܥܬ ܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܗ with the preposition ܠܗ ('to her') rather than ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ ('upon her'). Latin mirrors Greek structure with sciens quod factum esset in se, using pluperfect subjunctive in indirect discourse. The prepositional variation (ἐπί vs. ܠ vs. in) reflects idiomatic differences in expressing the recipient of an action.

Greek uses πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν (accusative adjective + article + noun, 'all the truth'). Syriac employs ܟܠܗ ܫܪܪܐ with the pronominal suffix on ܟܠܗ ('all of it, the truth'), a typical Semitic construct. Latin omnem veritatem omits the article (lacking in Latin) but retains the adjective-noun order. The semantic content is identical despite structural variation.
