Mark 14 : 55

Greek places the article and conjunction before the noun (Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς); Peshitta reverses the order, placing the conjunction after the noun phrase (ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ); Vulgate follows Greek word order with vero. All three convey the same adversative transition.

Greek uses the simple imperfect ἐζήτουν; Peshitta employs the periphrastic construction ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ (participle + auxiliary verb) for the imperfect aspect; Vulgate uses the simple imperfect quærebant. Both Syriac constructions are functionally equivalent to the Greek and Latin simple forms.

Greek uses the articular infinitive construction εἰς τὸ θανατῶσαι αὐτὸν ('in order to put him to death'); Peshitta employs a single d-prefixed subjunctive verb ܕܢܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ with incorporated object pronoun; Vulgate expands to a full purpose clause ut eum morti traderent ('that they might hand him over to death'), substituting 'hand over to death' for the direct causative 'put to death.'

Greek uses the conjunction καὶ to connect the negative result clause; Peshitta uses the simple conjunction ܘ; Vulgate inserts a colon before nec, creating a stronger syntactic break that emphasizes the failed search as a distinct statement rather than a coordinated clause.
