lexical All three attest

Greek NT ἀφῆκεν

Peshitta ܫܒܩ

Vulgate admisit

Greek ἀφῆκεν ('allowed, permitted') and Syriac ܫܒܩ ('allowed, left') share semantic overlap, while Latin admisit ('admitted, allowed to enter') emphasizes the granting of access rather than simple permission, reflecting a subtle lexical choice in translation register.

Greek NT μετ᾽ (met᾽) αὐτοῦ

Peshitta ܕܢܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ

Vulgate se sequi

Greek employs the compound verb συνακολουθῆσαι ('to follow together with') with prepositional phrase μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, while Syriac uses the simple verb ܕܢܐܙܠ ('to go') with ܥܡܗ ('with him'), and Latin uses the simple infinitive sequi ('to follow') with accusative se, demonstrating three syntactically distinct but semantically equivalent constructions.

Greek NT μὴ τὸν

Peshitta ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ

Vulgate Petrum

The Peshitta uniquely preserves both names for Peter: ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ('to Simon Cephas'), reflecting Semitic naming conventions and possibly an earlier textual tradition. Greek uses only the Greek form Πέτρον with article, and Latin uses only Petrum, both representing single-name references in their respective linguistic contexts.

Greek NT Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν

Peshitta ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ

Vulgate fratrem Jacobi

Greek places the article τὸν before ἀδελφὸν Ἰακώβου in standard attributive position, while Syriac uses the pronominal suffix construction ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ('his brother, [namely] of James') and Latin employs fratrem Jacobi without article, each reflecting the grammatical norms of their respective languages for expressing familial relationships.
