Greek NT εἶπεν·

Peshitta ܐܡܪ ܠܗ

Vulgate dixit illi Ego

The Peshitta adds the indirect object pronoun ܠܗ ('to him'), making the addressee explicit, while Greek uses no dative pronoun. The Vulgate similarly adds 'illi' as dative indirect object, reflecting a common tendency in both traditions to clarify the recipient of speech.

Greek NT ἐγώ εἰμι

Peshitta ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ

Vulgate sum et videbitis

The Peshitta employs the emphatic double ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ('I am, I am'), a Semitic intensification pattern mirroring the Greek ἐγώ εἰμι. The Vulgate inserts a colon after 'sum', creating a rhetorical pause absent in the Greek, likely reflecting Latin liturgical reading conventions.

Greek NT ἐκ δεξιῶν καθήμενον τῆς δυνάμεως

Peshitta ܕܝܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ

Vulgate dextris virtutis Dei et venientem

The Vulgate adds 'Dei' after 'virtutis', making explicit that 'Power' refers to God, whereas Greek τῆς δυνάμεως and Peshitta ܕܚܝܠܐ use 'Power' as a reverential circumlocution for the divine name without further specification. This represents a Western exegetical clarification of a Jewish periphrasis for the Tetragrammaton.

Greek NT μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

Peshitta ܥܠ ܥܢܢܝ ܫܡܝܐ

Vulgate cæli

Greek uses μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ('with the clouds of heaven') with genitive construction; Syriac employs ܥܠ ܥܢܢܝ ܫܡܝܐ ('upon the clouds of heaven') with the preposition ܥܠ suggesting motion or position 'upon/over'; Latin 'cum nubibus caeli' mirrors the Greek prepositional structure. The Syriac preposition reflects a slightly different spatial metaphor, though the eschatological imagery remains equivalent.
