Mark 6 : 17

Greek aorist participle ἀποστείλας ('having sent') is rendered in the Peshitta by a finite verb plus auxiliary ܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ (perfect with ܗܘܐ marking anterior/past action); the Vulgate uses a coordinate finite verb misit. Both versions resolve the Greek subordinating participle into a paratactic main clause, a typical translational shift.

Greek expresses 'and bound him' with conjunction + verb + pronoun (καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτόν); the Peshitta compresses this into the single form ܘܐܣܪܗ (conjunctive waw + verb + 3ms object suffix), whereas the Vulgate retains the analytic et vinxit eum. The Syriac suffix-conjugation economy contrasts with the Greek and Latin pronominal periphrasis.

Greek ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ ('in the prison') uses a prepositional phrase with the definite article; the Vulgate parallels with in carcere. The Peshitta employs the construct compound ܒܝܬ ܐܣܝܪܐ ('house of bound-ones,' i.e. prison-house), a lexically distinct idiom built on the root a-s-r ('to bind') that mirrors the verb ܐܣܪܗ just used.

Greek causal ὅτι and Latin quia introduce the clause 'because he had married her'; the Peshitta uses the relative particle ܕ prefixed to the verb (ܕܢܣܒ), construing the clause attributively ('whom he had married') rather than causally. This is a genuine syntactic divergence in the logical relation of the clause.

Greek ἐγάμησεν (from γαμέω, 'to marry') is matched by Latin duxerat (literally 'had led [in marriage],' the idiomatic uxorem ducere). The Peshitta uses ܢܣܒ (root n-s-b, 'to take'), the standard Semitic idiom for taking a wife; the resumptive pronoun ܗܝ ('her') precedes the verb, reversing the Greek/Latin verb-object order.
