Greek NT ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς

Peshitta ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ

Vulgate Summus autem sacerdos

Greek places the article and conjunction before the noun (ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεύς); Peshitta inverts the order, placing the postpositive particle after the noun (ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ); Vulgate follows Greek word order (Summus autem sacerdos). All three are semantically equivalent despite syntactic variation.

Greek NT διαρρήξας τοὺς χιτῶνας αὐτοῦ

Peshitta ܨܪܐ ܟܘܬܝܢܗ

Vulgate scindens vestimenta sua

Greek uses the plural χιτῶνας ('garments/tunics') with article and possessive pronoun; Vulgate employs the plural vestimenta sua; Peshitta uses the singular ܟܘܬܝܢܗ ('his tunic') with pronominal suffix, a typical Syriac idiom treating garments as a collective singular.

punctuation All three attest

Greek NT λέγει·

Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ

Vulgate ait Quid

Greek λέγει includes the colon as part of the verb token; Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ ('and he said') prefixes the conjunction waw; Vulgate separates ait from the colon as distinct tokens. The Peshitta's conjunctive prefix represents a stylistic preference for narrative continuity.

Greek NT τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν

Peshitta ܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܢ

Vulgate adhuc desideramus testes

Greek employs the construction τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν ('what need do we still have') with the verb ἔχω governing the accusative χρείαν; Vulgate mirrors this with Quid adhuc desideramus ('what do we still desire'); Peshitta uses the passive participle ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܢ ('are required to us') with the prepositional phrase, a distinct syntactic structure expressing the same rhetorical question.
