Peshitta ܘܡܚܦܝܢ ܐܦܘܗܝ

Greek NT καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ἔλαβον.¶

Peshitta ܘܕܚܫܐ ܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܦܟܘܗܝ

Vulgate alapis eum cædebant

Greek οἱ ὑπηρέται ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ἔλαβον ('the officers received him with blows') uses λαμβάνω with instrumental dative, a Semitic idiom. Peshitta ܘܕܚܫܐ ܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܦܟܘܗܝ ('and the guards were striking him upon his cheeks') employs periphrastic construction with anatomical specification. Vulgate ministri alapis eum cædebant ('servants were beating him with slaps') uses imperfect tense and ablative of means, clarifying the Greek idiom into standard Latin syntax.
