Mark 14 : 26

Greek uses a single aorist participle ὑμνήσαντες ('having sung a hymn'); the Vulgate renders this analytically with an ablative absolute hymno dicto ('a hymn having been said'), substituting the act of speaking for singing. The Peshitta packs the notion into the prefixed verb ܘܫܒܚܘ ('and they praised/sang'), where the conjunction has already been counted with the previous group.

Greek and Latin carry the definite article/accusative noun phrase τὸ ὄρος / montem, while Syriac ܠܛܘܪ uses the prefixed preposition ܠ- (lamadh, 'to') fused to the noun, dispensing with a separate article. The Syriac construct ܠܛܘܪ ܙܝܬܐ ('to the mount of olives') is a bound genitive chain typical of the language.

Greek τῶν ἐλαιῶν and Latin Olivarum both employ the genitive plural ('of olives'), whereas Syriac ܙܝܬܐ stands as an absolute/emphatic singular collective ('olive[-grove]'), a common Semitic idiom in which a singular noun denotes a mass or species rather than enumerated individuals.
