Mark 14 : 43

Greek uses a genitive absolute (αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος) and Latin its ablative absolute equivalent (eo loquente); the Peshitta renders the same circumstantial idea with an independent pronoun plus a participle (ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ), a paratactic construction idiomatic to Syriac which lacks a true absolute case.

Greek παραγίνεται ('arrives, comes up') is a present historic with a compound nuance of approach; both the Peshitta ܐܬܐ and the Vulgate venit render it with the simple verb 'comes/came', flattening the perfective force of the Greek prefix παρα-.

Greek and Latin transliterate the epithet with the article-bearing 'the Iscariot' (ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης / Iscariotes); the Peshitta gives the anarthrous form ܣܟܪܝܘܛܐ, omitting the article that Syriac would not normally attach to a proper epithet of this kind.

Greek expresses 'one being of the Twelve' with the participle ὢν (εἷς ὢν τῶν δώδεκα); both the Peshitta (ܚܕ ܡܢ) and the Vulgate (unus de) drop the copular participle, using a simple partitive preposition, a more economical equivalent construction.

Greek μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ and Latin cum eo ('with him') specify that the crowd accompanied Judas; the Peshitta omits this prepositional phrase entirely, presenting the crowd's arrival without the explicit accompaniment marker.

Greek μαχαιρῶν and Latin gladiis are plural ('swords'); the Syriac ܣܦܣܪܐ is a collective/loanword form that does not mark plurality morphologically, a typical Syriac idiom for collective weaponry.

Greek ξύλων and Latin lignis are plural ('clubs/staves'); the Syriac ܚܘܛܪܐ ('staff') again appears in an unmarked collective form, paralleling the treatment of 'swords' in the same clause.

Greek παρά and Latin a both express simple agency/origin ('from'); the Peshitta uses a compound preposition ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ('from beside/from the presence of'), a fuller idiomatic phrase emphasising that the crowd was dispatched by the named authorities.
