Mark 15 : 21

Greek ἀγγαρεύουσιν (technical term for Roman military requisition) is rendered by Peshitta ܫܚܪܘ (general 'compel/press into service') and Vulgate angariaverunt (Latin loanword from Greek ἀγγαρεύω), reflecting different degrees of technical precision in conveying forced labor.

Greek uses present participle παράγοντά with indefinite pronoun τινα; Vulgate mirrors this with prætereuntem quempiam; Peshitta employs a relative clause construction ܚܕ ܕܥܒܪ ܗܘܐ ('one who was passing') with periphrastic perfect, syntactically distinct but semantically equivalent.

Greek ἀπ᾽ ἀγροῦ ('from the field/country') and Vulgate de villa ('from the country estate') use singular; Peshitta ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ('from the village/town') employs a more specific urban term, possibly reflecting a different understanding of Simon's point of origin or a lexical preference for settled habitation over agricultural land.

Greek and Vulgate place patrem before the sons' names (Ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ Ῥούφου / Alexandri et Rufi); Peshitta reverses the order, placing ܐܒܘܗܝ after the relative clause but maintaining the genitive relationship through the construct state, a stylistic variation without semantic impact.

Greek τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ and Vulgate crucem ejus use article/possessive pronoun with genitive ('his cross'); Peshitta ܙܩܝܦܗ employs a pronominal suffix on the noun itself ('his-cross'), a standard Semitic construction that collapses the Greek two-word phrase into a single morphological unit.
