Mark 1 : 35

Greek employs three temporal adverbs (πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν, 'very early, still night, exceedingly') to emphasize the pre-dawn hour. Peshitta distributes this across ܒܨܦܪܐ ('in the morning'), ܩܕܡ ('before/early'), and ܛܒ ('very'), preserving the triple intensification. Vulgate compresses to two adverbs (diluculo valde, 'at daybreak, very much'), reducing the nocturnal emphasis present in ἔννυχα.

Greek uses two finite verbs coordinated by καί (ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν, 'he went out and he departed'), emphasizing sequential action. Vulgate mirrors this with two participles (egressus abiit, 'having gone out, he departed'). Peshitta employs a single verb ܘܐܙܠ ('and he went'), treating the departure as a unified action rather than a two-stage movement.

Greek and Vulgate place the preposition before the adjective-noun pair (εἰς ἔρημον τόπον / in desertum locum, 'into a solitary place'). Peshitta reverses the order, placing the noun before the adjective (ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ, 'to a place, desolate'), following standard Semitic attributive syntax where adjectives follow their head nouns.
