Mark 6:53 — Greek / Peshitta / Vulgate aligned

construction All three attest

Greek NT Καὶ

Peshitta ܘܟܕ

Vulgate Et cum

Greek coordinates with a simple καί followed by the aorist participle διαπεράσαντες, whereas the Vulgate renders the participial clause with a subordinating conjunction (cum + pluperfect subjunctive transfretassent) and the Syriac uses ܘܟܕ ('and when'), both turning the Greek circumstantial participle into an explicit temporal clause.

Greek NT διαπεράσαντες

Peshitta ܥܒܪܘ ܥܒܪܐ

Vulgate transfretassent

The single Greek participle διαπεράσαντες ('having crossed over') is matched by the Latin verb transfretassent, while the Syriac employs a cognate-accusative figura etymologica (ܥܒܪܘ ܥܒܪܐ, lit. 'they crossed the crossing/ford'), a characteristic Semitic intensifying construction with no equivalent in the Greek or Latin.

Greek NT εἰς Γεννησαρὲτ

Peshitta ܕܓܢܣܪ

Vulgate Genesareth

Greek uses the preposition εἰς + indeclinable place-name Γεννησαρέτ and the Latin in + Genesareth, both expressing direction toward; the Syriac instead binds the toponym ܕܓܢܣܪ to the preceding noun ܠܐܪܥܐ via a genitive d- particle, yielding 'to the land of Gennesar' as a single construct phrase.

omission Two witnesses

Greek NT καὶ προσωρμίσθησαν

Vulgate et applicuerunt

Both the Greek (καὶ προσωρμίσθησαν, 'and they moored/drew to shore') and the Vulgate (et applicuerunt) attest the final nautical clause describing the mooring of the boat. The Peshitta omits this clause entirely, ending the verse with their arrival at the land of Gennesar.
