Mark 9 : 25

Greek uses an aorist participle (Ἰδὼν, 'having seen') with the postpositive δέ; the Peshitta employs a temporal subordinate clause ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ('when he saw') with ܕܝܢ, while the Vulgate likewise uses Et cum videret. The participial vs. temporal-clause realisation is a routine syntactic divergence in the versions.

Greek ὅτι ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος ('that a crowd was running together') is rendered by the Peshitta with a coordinate doublet ܕܪܗܛ...ܘܡܬܟܢܫ ܠܘܬܗ ('that the people ran and gathered to him'), adding both the gathering verb and the directional 'to him.' The Vulgate compresses to a single participle, concurrentem turbam.

Greek attributes two adjectives in vocative articular construction (τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ κωφὸν τὸ πνεῦμα, 'mute and deaf spirit'); the Vulgate renders Surde et mute spiritus ('deaf and dumb spirit') reversing the order of the epithets. The Peshitta uses ܪܘܚܐ ܚܪܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ ('deaf spirit that does not speak'), recasting the second epithet as a relative clause rather than an adjective.

Greek ἐγὼ ἐπιτάσσω σοι uses an emphatic pronoun + verb; the Peshitta renders this with the characteristic enclitic-pronoun construction ܐܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ (literally 'I command-I'), a normal Syriac participial-plus-pronoun present. Note ܠܟܝ is feminine ('to you' f.sg.), agreeing grammatically with the feminine noun ܪܘܚܐ.
