Mark 1 : 20

Greek εὐθὺς ('immediately') and Latin statim stand here in the first clause modifying the calling; the Peshitta defers its corresponding adverb ܘܡܚܕܐ to the second clause (the leaving), creating a syntactic redistribution of the temporal marker across the verse.

The Syriac ܘܡܚܕܐ ('and immediately') here renders the temporal adverb that Greek and Latin placed in the opening clause (εὐθὺς / statim); Syriac attaches it instead to the act of forsaking the father, a stylistic relocation rather than an added or omitted element.

Greek uses an aorist participle ἀφέντες ('having left') and Latin an ablative absolute relicto, both subordinating the action; Syriac ܫܒܩܘ is a finite verb ('they left'), coordinating it paratactically with the following ܘܐܙܠܘ ('and they went') in characteristic Semitic style.

Greek and Latin name the object 'their father' (τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν / patre suo) before the proper noun Zebedee, whereas Syriac inverts the sequence, placing ܠܙܒܕܝ ('Zebedee') first and ܐܒܘܗܘܢ ('their father') in apposition after it.

Greek ἀπῆλθον ('they went away', from ἀπέρχομαι) and Syriac ܘܐܙܠܘ ('and they went') stress departure, whereas the Vulgate secuti sunt ('they followed') foregrounds discipleship; the Latin rendering interprets rather than literally translates the verb of motion.
