Greek NT ἐλθὼν
Peshitta ܐܬܐ
Vulgate venit

Greek uses the aorist participle ἐλθὼν ('having come'), subordinating the action of coming to the main verb later in the verse; both the Peshitta ܐܬܐ and Vulgate venit render it as a finite verb, recasting the participial construction as a parataxis.

Greek NT
Peshitta ܗܘ

Greek and Syriac both supply a demonstrative/relative head (ὁ / ܗܘ) introducing the place-of-origin phrase; the Vulgate has no corresponding pronoun, attaching the prepositional phrase directly to the name.

Greek NT εὐσχήμων
Peshitta ܡܝܩܪܐ
Vulgate nobilis

Greek εὐσχήμων ('of good standing, prominent') and Syriac ܡܝܩܪܐ (from y-q-r, 'honoured') stress social esteem; the Vulgate nobilis shifts the nuance slightly toward inherited rank or nobility, a routine Latin lexical choice.

Greek NT προσδεχόμενος
Peshitta ܡܣܟܐ
Vulgate exspectans

All three attest the periphrastic imperfect 'was waiting'; Greek and Latin place the auxiliary before the participle (ἦν προσδεχόμενος / erat exspectans), whereas Syriac inverts the order with the participle preceding the auxiliary (ܡܣܟܐ ܗܘܐ), the normal Syriac construction.

Greek NT τολμήσας
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪܚ
Vulgate audacter

Greek expresses boldness with the aorist participle τολμήσας ('having dared'); the Vulgate renders it adverbially as audacter ('boldly'), while the Peshitta uses a coordinated finite verb ܘܐܡܪܚ ('and he was bold'), each a distinct syntactic strategy for the same idea.

Greek NT καὶ
Vulgate et

Greek and Latin coordinate the two actions with an explicit conjunction (καὶ / et) before the verb of asking; the Syriac equivalent waw is prefixed directly onto the verb ܘܫܐܠ rather than standing as a separate token, hence no distinct Syriac index here.

Greek NT τὸ σῶμα
Peshitta ܦܓܪܗ
Vulgate corpus

Greek τὸ σῶμα and Latin corpus stand as independent nouns with article; Syriac ܦܓܪܗ ('his body') uses a pronominal suffix anticipating the following genitive, a typical Semitic anticipatory-possessive construction.
