Greek NT εὐθὺς
Peshitta ܫܥܬܗ
Vulgate continuo

Greek εὐθὺς ('immediately') is a single adverb, as is Latin continuo; the Peshitta renders the notion periphrastically with ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ('in that hour/moment', literally 'son of his hour'), a Semitic idiomatic construct phrase for instantaneity.

Greek NT ὁ πατὴρ
Peshitta ܐܒܘܗܝ
Vulgate pater

Greek supplies the definite article ὁ πατὴρ and Latin omits it as Latin lacks articles; the Peshitta ܐܒܘܗܝ incorporates a pronominal suffix ('his father'), an anticipatory possessive idiom not explicit in the Greek or Latin.

Greek NT μετὰ
Peshitta ܟܕ
Vulgate cum

Greek and Latin use the preposition μετὰ / cum ('with') governing the noun 'tears'; the Peshitta instead employs the subordinating particle ܟܕ ('while/when') introducing the verb ܒܟܐ ('he wept'), recasting the prepositional phrase as a temporal circumstantial clause.

Greek NT δακρύων
Peshitta ܒܟܐ
Vulgate lacrimis

Greek δακρύων and Latin lacrimis are genitive/ablative plural nouns ('tears'); the Peshitta uses the finite verb ܒܟܐ ('he wept'), a construction shift from nominal to verbal expression consistent with the preceding ܟܕ clause.

Greek NT πιστεύω
Peshitta ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ
Vulgate Domine

Greek πιστεύω and Latin Credo are single first-person finite verbs; the Peshitta renders the present with the participle plus independent pronoun ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ('believing I-am'), the standard Syriac periphrastic present-tense construction.

Greek NT μου τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ.¶
Peshitta ܠܚܣܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ

Greek frames the object as a dative of the abstract noun 'with my unbelief' (μου τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ) and Latin as accusative incredulitatem meam; the Peshitta uses a genitival construct ܠܚܣܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ('the deficiency of my faith'), making explicit a 'lack of faith' rather than a simple privative noun.
