Greek NT ἔρχονται
Peshitta ܘܐܬܘ
Vulgate veniunt

Greek ἔρχονται and Latin veniunt are historic present (3P); Syriac ܘܐܬܘ is a perfect/preterite ('and they came'), conjoined with the conjunction in a single token. The tense shift from present to past is a routine Syriac narrative idiom and does not alter the sense.

Greek NT χωρίον
Peshitta ܠܕܘܟܬܐ
Vulgate prædium

Greek χωρίον ('plot, field') is rendered by Latin prædium ('estate, landed property') and Syriac ܕܘܟܬܐ ('place, location'). The Latin narrows toward a legal/agricultural estate while the Syriac broadens to a generic locale; the preposition is prefixed to the noun in Syriac.

Greek NT οὗ τὸ ὄνομα
Peshitta ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ
Vulgate cui nomen

Greek uses the relative pronoun + article + noun (οὗ τὸ ὄνομα, 'of which the name [is]'); Latin compresses to the dative cui nomen ('to which [is] the name'). Syriac employs a relative pronoun plus a finite passive verb ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ('which is called'), a verbal construction in place of the nominal predicate of the other two traditions.

Greek NT τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ·
Peshitta ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
Vulgate discipulis suis

Greek expresses 'to his disciples' with article + noun + genitive pronoun (τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ); Latin with noun + possessive (discipulis suis). Syriac fuses preposition, noun and the 3ms possessive suffix into a single word ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ, a typical Semitic morphological economy.

Greek NT (he'ōs)
Peshitta ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ

Greek προσεύξωμαι and Latin orem are single subjunctive verbs ('that I may pray'). Syriac uses a periphrastic participle plus the independent pronoun ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ('I am praying'), the regular Syriac means of rendering the durative present where the other traditions use a finite subjunctive.
