Mark 6 : 47

Greek opens with the coordinating conjunction Καί ('and') governing a genitive absolute; the Vulgate splits this into Et + cum, introducing a subordinate temporal clause (cum ... esset), while the Peshitta uses the single subordinating particle ܟܕ ('when'). The three traditions express the same temporal frame through different syntactic strategies.

Greek employs a genitive absolute (ὀψίας γενομένης, 'evening having come'); the Vulgate renders it as a finite subjunctive clause (sero esset); the Peshitta uses a finite verb ܗܘܐ with the postpositive particle ܕܝܢ ('but/now') and the noun ܪܡܫܐ ('evening'). The Syriac ܕܝܢ has no counterpart in the Greek or Latin and functions as a discourse connective rather than a strict translation.

Greek has the articular noun τὸ πλοῖον ('the boat'); the Vulgate navis and the Peshitta ܣܦܝܢܬܐ lack a definite article (Latin having none and Syriac expressing definiteness via the emphatic state), so the determination is conveyed morphologically rather than by a separate token.

Greek ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς and Latin in terra denote 'upon the land,' using γῆ/terra. The Peshitta ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ uses ܐܪܥܐ ('earth/land'), the standard Syriac equivalent; the slight lexical-semantic range ('earth' vs. 'dry land') is a routine rendering difference with no doctrinal weight.
