Mark 15 : 46

The Vulgate omits the initial conjunction καί / ܘ ('and'), beginning the sentence asyndetically with 'Joseph autem' where the adversative particle 'autem' provides transition. Greek and Peshitta retain the coordinating conjunction linking this action to the preceding narrative.

Both Peshitta and Vulgate explicitly name Joseph (ܝܘܣܦ / Joseph) as the subject, whereas the Greek relies on the implied subject from the participial construction ἀγοράσας. This represents a clarifying expansion typical of translation into languages requiring explicit subjects.

The Vulgate inserts the adversative particle 'autem' to mark narrative transition, a stylistic feature absent from both Greek and Peshitta. This particle provides cohesion in Latin prose where Greek uses simple conjunction and Peshitta uses waw-consecutive.

Greek uses an aorist participle with explicit object (καθελὼν αὐτόν), Vulgate mirrors this with a present participle and pronoun (deponens eum), while Peshitta employs a finite verb with pronominal suffix (ܘܐܚܬܗ 'and-he-took-down-him'). All three convey identical semantics through different syntactic strategies.

Greek employs a finite verb with dative article-noun phrase (ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι 'wrapped in-the linen-cloth'), Vulgate uses finite verb with ablative (involvit sindone), while Peshitta uses verb with prepositional phrase (ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܗ 'and-wrapped-him in-it'). The Peshitta pronominal reference creates anaphoric cohesion to the previously mentioned linen.

Greek and Vulgate use finite verb with explicit object pronoun (ἔθηκεν αὐτόν / posuit eum), while Peshitta employs a single verb with pronominal suffix (ܘܣܡܗ 'and-placed-him'), representing typical Semitic economy of expression versus Indo-European analytic structure.

Greek uses a relative clause with periphrastic perfect passive construction (ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας 'which was having-been-hewn out-of rock'), Vulgate employs a relative clause with pluperfect passive (quod erat excisum de petra), while Peshitta uses a participial relative construction (ܕܢܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܘܥܐ 'that-hewn was in-rock'). All convey the same completed-state semantics through tradition-specific grammatical means.

Greek uses prepositional phrase with double article construction (ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου 'upon the door of-the tomb'), Vulgate employs preposition with accusative and genitive noun (ad ostium monumenti), while Peshitta uses preposition with construct-state noun phrase (ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܩܒܪܐ 'upon door-of tomb'). The Peshitta's pronominal suffix on 'door' creates possessive relationship without repeating the noun, typical Semitic construct-chain syntax.
