The Greek frames the subject with article + postpositive δέ (ὁ δὲ Πέτρος), and the Vulgate mirrors this with Petrus autem; the Peshitta lacks any adversative/connective particle, opening simply with the verb ܐܡܪ and naming ܟܐܦܐ ('Kepha') without a coordinating conjunction, a characteristic Syriac paratactic style.
