Mark 6 : 50

Greek places the pronoun αὐτὸν before the verb εἶδον; Peshitta incorporates the pronominal suffix directly onto the verb ܚܙܐܘܗܝ; Vulgate follows Greek word order with viderunt eum, though the pronoun is postposed after the verb.

Greek uses a single aorist passive verb ἐταράχθησαν; Peshitta employs the active verb ܘܕܚܠܘ ('and they feared'), conflating the reaction into the preceding conjunction; Vulgate uses a passive participle construction conturbati sunt, requiring two tokens for the periphrastic perfect.

Greek employs the article ὁ with the postpositive conjunction δὲ to mark subject continuity; Peshitta uses the simple conjunction ܘܒܪ ('and immediately'); Vulgate uses Et alone, omitting the article (which Latin lacks) and the contrastive nuance of δέ.

Greek εὐθὺς ('immediately') is rendered in Peshitta as the idiomatic phrase ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ (literally 'son of his hour'), a Semitic temporal idiom; Vulgate uses the single adverb statim, semantically equivalent to the Greek.

Greek uses the aorist ἐλάλησεν with prepositional phrase μετ᾽ αὐτῶν; Peshitta employs the simple verb ܡܠܠ with pronominal suffix ܥܡܗܘܢ; Vulgate expands into a periphrastic perfect locutus est cum eis, requiring four tokens including the auxiliary verb est.

Greek uses the historical present λέγει with dative αὐτοῖς; Peshitta uses the perfect ܘܐܡܪ with prepositional phrase ܠܗܘܢ; Vulgate employs the perfect dixit eis, aligning with Peshitta in tense but with Greek in case construction (dative vs. prepositional).

Vulgate inserts a colon after eis to mark the beginning of direct discourse, a punctuation convention absent in the Greek manuscript tradition and unnecessary in Syriac, which uses ܘܐܡܪ to introduce speech.

Vulgate again inserts a colon before the final prohibition, segmenting the discourse into two balanced cola (Confidite, ego sum : nolite timere), a stylistic choice not reflected in Greek or Peshitta manuscript punctuation.
