Mark 6 : 54

Greek uses simple conjunction καί; Peshitta employs temporal conjunction ܘܟܕ ('and when'); Vulgate uses cumque (cum + -que, 'and when'), creating a temporal clause. The Peshitta and Vulgate both make the temporal relationship more explicit than the Greek parataxis.

Greek uses preposition ἐκ with article and genitive noun (ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου); Peshitta uses ܡܢ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ without article (Syriac lacks definite articles in this construction); Vulgate uses de navi with ablative case. The Greek article is structurally absent in Syriac but semantically implied.

Greek uses adverb εὐθύς ('immediately'); Vulgate uses adverb continuo ('immediately'); Peshitta employs idiomatic phrase ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ (literally 'son of his hour', meaning 'immediately'). The Syriac construction is a characteristic Semitic idiom expressing immediacy through a genitive relationship.

Greek has ἐπιγνόντες αὐτόν ('having recognized him') with implicit subject from the genitive absolute; Vulgate mirrors this with cognoverunt eum ('they recognized him'); Peshitta adds explicit subject ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ ('the men of the place/region'), making the recognizers explicit rather than leaving them contextually implied. This is a substantive expansion clarifying the narrative agents.

Peshitta explicitly names the subject as ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ ('the men of the place'), whereas Greek and Vulgate leave the subject implicit (understood from context as 'the people there'). This represents a characteristic Peshitta tendency toward narrative clarity and explicit subject identification.
