Mark 1 : 14

The Greek opens with a coordinating καί (G2532) reinforcing the connective δέ, a redundant Markan stylistic doubling. Neither the Peshitta nor the Vulgate render an initial conjunction here, beginning instead directly with the temporal clause.

Greek expresses the temporal clause with the preposition μετά + articular aorist infinitive (τὸ παραδοθῆναι); the Peshitta uses the preposition ܒܬܪ ('after') governing a finite verb ܕܐܫܬܠܡ, while the Vulgate compresses both into the single subordinating conjunction Postquam ('after'). All three are semantically equivalent renderings of the temporal protasis.

Greek ἦλθεν and Latin venit render the simple aorist/perfect 'came', whereas the Peshitta employs the characteristic Syriac ethic dative ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ('came for himself'), a reflexive intensifier that adds no propositional content but is idiomatic in Aramaic narrative.

Greek κηρύσσων and Latin prædicans are present participles ('proclaiming'); the Peshitta renders the durative aspect with ܘܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ, a periphrastic participle plus the auxiliary ܗܘܐ, expressing the same continuous past action through Syriac compound verbal syntax.

Greek and Latin read 'the kingdom of God' (τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ / regni Dei) as two distinct genitive nouns. The Peshitta ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ employs an anticipatory pronominal suffix ('his kingdom, namely of God'), the proleptic possessive construction typical of Syriac genitive expressions, semantically identical but morphologically condensed.
