Mark 6 : 17

Greek employs the intensive pronoun αὐτὸς with article ὁ before Ἡρῴδης, emphasizing 'Herod himself'; Syriac and Latin use simple intensive pronouns (ܗܘ / Ipse) without articles, achieving equivalent emphasis through different grammatical means.

Greek uses an aorist participle ἀποστείλας ('having sent') with finite verb ἐκράτησεν ('seized'); Syriac employs a periphrastic perfect ܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܕܗ (lit. 'he had sent [and] seized'); Vulgate uses two finite verbs with conjunction misit ac tenuit—all three express sequential action with slightly different aspectual nuances.

Greek καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν uses conjunction with finite verb and separate object pronoun; Syriac ܘܐܣܪܗ employs a single verb with pronominal suffix; Vulgate et vinxit eum mirrors Greek structure—semantically identical but syntactically distinct.

Greek ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ ('in the prison') uses prepositional phrase with article; Syriac ܒܝܬ ܐܣܝܪܐ (lit. 'house of prisoners') employs a construct-state compound noun, a typical Syriac idiom for 'prison'; Vulgate in carcere uses simple prepositional phrase without article.

Greek uses article τὴν with γυναῖκα Φιλίππου ('the wife of Philip') in accusative apposition to Ἡρῳδιάδα; Syriac ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܣ employs construct-state without article; Vulgate uxorem Philippi mirrors Syriac structure—all three identify Herodias as Philip's wife but with different syntactic strategies.

Greek ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν places object pronoun before verb; Syriac ܗܝ ܕܢܣܒ uses pronoun with relative particle d- ('that he took her'); Vulgate quia duxerat eam employs pluperfect tense ('had married') with postposed object—all express the causal clause but with different word order and aspectual choices.
