Mark 7 : 17

Greek uses καὶ ὅτε ('and when') with temporal conjunction; Peshitta employs ܟܕ ܕܝܢ (kad dēn, 'when then') with contrastive particle; Vulgate renders Et cum ('and when'). The Peshitta's ܕܝܢ adds mild adversative force absent in the other traditions.

The Peshitta explicitly names Jesus (ܝܫܘܥ) as the subject of the verb ܥܠ ('entered'), whereas Greek εἰσῆλθεν and Latin introisset leave the subject implicit from context. This represents a typical Syriac clarifying expansion for narrative flow.

Greek uses ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου with the definite article modifying 'crowd'; Latin a turba and Syriac ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ both lack the article. This reflects differing conventions for definiteness rather than semantic divergence.

Greek articulates 'the disciples of him' with article + noun + possessive pronoun (οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ); Latin uses noun + possessive (discipuli ejus); Peshitta employs a pronominal suffix on the noun itself (ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ, 'his-disciples'), a standard Semitic bound construction.

Greek uses the preposition περὶ with accusative article + noun (περὶ τὴν παραβολήν, 'concerning the parable'); Peshitta uses ܥܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ ('concerning that parable') with demonstrative pronoun ܗܘ adding deictic force; Vulgate employs direct accusative parabolam without preposition, treating the verb interrogare as governing a double accusative construction.
