Greek NT καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι

Peshitta ܘܥܠܝܢ

Vulgate Et introëuntes

Greek uses conjunction καὶ plus aorist participle εἰσελθοῦσαι (feminine plural, 'having entered'); Vulgate mirrors this with Et plus present participle introëuntes; Syriac employs a single finite verb ܘܥܠܝܢ (w-ʿlayn, 'and they entered'), converting the Greek participial construction into a main verb.

Greek NT εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον

Peshitta ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ

Vulgate in monumentum

Greek uses preposition εἰς plus article τὸ and noun μνημεῖον ('into the tomb'); Vulgate follows with in monumentum; Syriac employs the bound-state construction ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ (l-bayt qḇūrā, 'to the house of burial'), a typical Semitic genitive phrase lacking the definite article.

Greek NT ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς

Peshitta ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ

Vulgate in dextris

Greek uses ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς (literally 'in/among the right [parts]', neuter plural substantive); Vulgate renders in dextris (ablative plural, 'on the right'); Syriac uses ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ (men yamīnā, 'from the right', singular), a prepositional phrase with singular noun—semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct from the Greek plural construction.

Greek NT καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν

Peshitta ܘܬܡܗ

Vulgate et obstupuerunt

Greek ἐξεθαμβήθησαν (exethambēthēsan, 'they were utterly astonished', intensive compound verb) and Vulgate obstupuerunt ('they were stunned') both convey strong amazement; Syriac ܘܬܡܗ (w-tamah, 'and they marveled') uses a simpler, less intensive verb, though the semantic range overlaps with wonder and astonishment.
