omission Two witnesses
Greek NT καί
Vulgate Et

Both Greek καί and Vulgate Et open the clause with paratactic 'and', a Semitic-style narrative connective. The Peshitta lacks an explicit conjunction here, beginning directly with ܐܢܫܝܢ ('some'), since Syriac frequently omits the copulative waw at clause-initial position in reported episodes.

construction All three attest
Greek NT τῶν ἐκεῖ ἑστηκότων
Peshitta ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ
Vulgate de illic stantibus

Greek uses an articular substantivized perfect participle with adverb (τῶν ἐκεῖ ἑστηκότων, 'of those standing there'); Latin renders this with a prepositional participial phrase (de illic stantibus); Syriac employs a relative construction ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ('from those who were standing'), syntactically distinct but semantically equivalent.

Greek NT ποιεῖτε
Peshitta ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate solventes

Greek ποιεῖτε and Latin facitis express the 2nd person plural synthetically in the verb; Syriac adds the independent personal pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you [pl.]') after ܥܒܕܝܢ to mark the subject, a standard Syriac participle-plus-enclitic-pronoun periphrastic construction rather than a substantive addition.

Greek NT λύοντες
Peshitta ܕܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
Vulgate pullum

Greek λύοντες and Latin solventes are circumstantial present participles ('untying'); Syriac ܕܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ again uses the participle with a resumptive pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ to express the periphrastic present, idiomatically matching the verbal sense without adding new content.
