Mark 9 : 2

Greek uses μετὰ ἡμέρας ἓξ ('after days six') with postpositive numeral; Peshitta ܘܒܬܪ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ('and after six days') and Vulgate post dies sex both place the numeral before the noun, reflecting standard Semitic and Latin word order respectively.

Greek employs the article ὁ with Ἰησοῦς, a standard Greek construction; Syriac ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ and Latin assumit Jesus lack the article, as neither language requires it with proper names in this syntactic position.

Greek uses repeated article-noun pairs (τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τὸν Ἰάκωβον καὶ τὸν Ἰωάννην) with polysyndeton; Vulgate mirrors this with Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem; Syriac employs a more compact construction ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ with prefixed prepositions but without articles, reflecting typical Semitic asyndetic coordination.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase κατ᾽ ἰδίαν μόνους ('apart, alone') with two terms for emphasis; Vulgate employs seorsum solos, mirroring the Greek doublet; Syriac condenses this to the single adverbial phrase ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ('by themselves alone'), achieving the same semantic force with greater economy.

Greek καὶ μετεμορφώθη is a simple aorist passive construction; Syriac ܘܐܬܚܠܦ uses the ethpeel (passive-reflexive) stem; Vulgate expands to transfiguratus est with auxiliary verb, a periphrastic construction typical of later Latin prose style.
