Greek NT Καὶ
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate Et ait

The Greek καί is rendered as a coordinating conjunction in all three; the Vulgate splits the verb into Et ait, while Syriac fuses the conjunction with the verb in ܘܐܡܪ ('and-he-said'), a normal proclitic waw construction.

Greek NT δειλοί ἐστε;
Peshitta ܕܚܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate estis necdum habetis

Greek δειλοί ἐστε ('are you cowardly/timid') and Latin timidi estis preserve the adjective of fearfulness; the Syriac ܚܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ instead carries the sense 'fainthearted/lacking in spirit', a slightly softer lexical choice, with ܐܢܬܘܢ as the explicit independent pronoun subject. The Vulgate question mark (idx 7) is editorial.

Greek NT οὔπω
Peshitta ܗܟܢ
Vulgate fidem

The Greek temporal adverb οὔπω ('not yet') is matched by Vulgate necdum, but the Peshitta renders it with the demonstrative ܗܟܢ ('thus, so/even now'), reflecting a divergent construal of the elliptical phrase οὔπω … πῶς that vexes the Greek manuscript tradition itself.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT πῶς

The interrogative particle πῶς ('how') of the Greek NA28 reading οὔπω πῶς οὐκ ἔχετε πίστιν has no counterpart in either the Peshitta or the Vulgate, both of which transmit the simpler Western/Byzantine-type reading without πῶς (cf. the variant πῶς οὐκ vs. οὔπω alone).

Greek NT οὐκ ἔχετε πίστιν;
Peshitta ܘܠܡܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
Vulgate et timuerunt timore

Greek οὐκ ἔχετε πίστιν ('you do not have faith') and Latin habetis fidem use a verb of possession; the Syriac restructures with the negative existential particle ܠܝܬ plus the prepositional ܒܟܘܢ ('there is no faith in you'), a characteristic Semitic possessive idiom. The Peshitta opens this clause with ܘܠܡܢܐ ('and why'), supplying an interrogative absent from Greek and Latin at this point.

expansion Vulgate only
Vulgate magno et dicebant ad alterutrum Quis putas est iste quia et ventus et mare obediunt ei

The Clementine Vulgate combines what other editions number as Mark 4:40 and 4:41 into a single verse, so the entire narrative of the disciples' fear and amazement (et timuerunt timore magno … obediunt ei?) appears here; this material corresponds to the separately-numbered Greek and Syriac verse 41 and has no parallel among the present Greek and Peshitta tokens.
