Greek NT εἰδῆτε
Peshitta ܕܬܕܥܘܢ
Vulgate sciatis

Greek εἰδῆτε ('that you may know') and Latin sciatis are discrete verbal forms; the Peshitta fuses the purpose conjunction and verb into the single prefixed form ܕܬܕܥܘܢ, which is why the Syriac index for the conjunction overlaps with the verb.

Greek NT ἐξουσίαν ἔχει
Peshitta ܕܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ
Vulgate habet potestatem

Greek ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ('has authority') and Latin habet potestatem render the idea verbally with a noun-object, whereas the Peshitta uses the predicate adjective ܫܠܝܛ ('is empowered/permitted') reinforced by the enclitic pronoun ܗܘ; this is a construction-level difference expressing the same notion of delegated authority.

Greek NT ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
Peshitta ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
Vulgate Filius hominis

All three attest the Christological title 'Son of Man'; the Greek employs the full articular construction ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, while both the Vulgate (Filius hominis) and the Peshitta (ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ) drop the determiner, a routine feature of their respective grammars rather than a semantic divergence.

Greek NT ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας
Peshitta ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ
Vulgate dimittendi peccata

Greek uses the present infinitive ἀφιέναι followed by the accusative ἁμαρτίας; the Vulgate matches with the gerund dimittendi peccata, and the Peshitta with the infinitival ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ — all express 'to forgive sins,' differing only in the language-specific verbal-noun morphology.

Greek NT ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
Peshitta ܒܐܪܥܐ
Vulgate in terra

Greek ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς and Latin in terra both use a preposition plus noun, whereas the Peshitta condenses the phrase into the single prepositional form ܒܐܪܥܐ ('on the earth'); the Syriac also places this locative before the infinitive, a word-order shift typical of the version.

Greek NT τῷ παραλυτικῷ·
Peshitta ܠܡܫܪܝܐ
Vulgate paralytico)

Greek τῷ παραλυτικῷ and Latin paralytico denote the medical term 'paralytic'; the Peshitta ܠܡܫܪܝܐ derives from the root sh-r-a ('to loosen/relax'), an idiomatic Syriac description of the slackened, palsied limbs rather than a borrowed Greek medical lexeme.
