Mark 1 : 15

Greek λέγων and Latin dicens are present participles in the nominative, continuing the main clause; the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ ('and he said') uses a finite verb prefixed with the conjunction, collapsing the participial construction into a coordinated finite clause, a typical Syriac preference for parataxis over Greek participial hypotaxis.

The recitative ὅτι introducing direct discourse is rendered in the Vulgate by the colon plus Quoniam; the Peshitta has no corresponding particle, opening the quotation directly after the verb of speaking.

Greek πεπλήρωται is a single perfect passive ('has been fulfilled'); the Vulgate expands it analytically into impletum est, while the Peshitta ܫܠܡ (root sh-l-m, 'is complete/fulfilled') uses a stative-perfect, semantically equivalent but lexically tied to the notion of completion rather than filling.

The Peshitta inserts the dative pronoun ܠܗ ('to/for it', root l-w-h), yielding 'the time is fulfilled for it' — an ethical or possessive dative idiomatic in Syriac that has no counterpart in either the Greek or the Latin.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ ('believe in the gospel'); the Vulgate renders the dative Evangelio without a preposition, and the Peshitta ܒܣܒܪܬܐ prefixes the proclitic ܒ- ('in the good tidings', root s-b-r), matching the Greek prepositional construction more closely than the bare Latin dative.
