Greek NT καὶ

Vulgate Et

Both Greek and Vulgate open the sentence with the connective καί / Et, which the Peshitta omits, beginning instead directly with the verb ܐܡܪ; asyndeton is a common feature of Syriac narrative style.

Greek NT δύναται

Peshitta ܡܫܟܚ ܠܐ

Vulgate exire

δύναται / potest is a single positive verb; the Syriac expresses the negated modal as ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ('is not able'), splitting the negation across two tokens (idx 5–6) where Greek and Latin locate the negation earlier in οὐδενί / nullo.

Greek NT ἐν προσευχῇ καὶ νηστείᾳ.¶

Peshitta ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ

Vulgate oratione et jejunio

Greek and Latin list 'prayer and fasting' (προσευχῇ καὶ νηστείᾳ / oratione et jejunio), whereas the Peshitta inverts the pair to 'fasting and prayer' (ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ); the reversed order is a recurrent Syriac liturgical convention. Note also that several Greek witnesses omit καὶ νηστείᾳ altogether, a variant not reflected here.
