Mark 6 : 50

The Greek places the object pronoun αὐτόν before the verb εἶδον, and Latin follows the Greek order with the verb-first arrangement (viderunt eum). Syriac fuses the object pronominal suffix onto the verb (ܚܙܐܘܗܝ, 'they-saw-him'), a single morphological word reflecting standard Aramaic synthetic syntax.

Greek uses a single aorist passive ἐταράχθησαν ('they were troubled'); Latin renders it periphrastically with participle plus auxiliary (conturbati sunt); Syriac uses a simple peal perfect ܘܕܚܠܘ from d-kh-l ('they feared/were afraid'), which leans toward fear rather than agitation, a slight lexical shift in emotional nuance.

Greek marks the subject change with the article + postpositive δέ (ὁ δέ, 'but he'); Latin uses the simple connective Et; Syriac has no separate equivalent here, beginning the clause with the temporal phrase. The contrastive force of δέ is flattened in both versions.

Greek shifts to the historic present λέγει ('he says'), a Markan stylistic vividism; both Latin (dixit) and Syriac (the perfect prefixed within ܘܐܡܪ) normalise this to a past tense, smoothing the tense alternation typical of the secondary versions.
