Greek NT καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος
Peshitta ܘܟܕ ܥܠܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ
Vulgate Qui cum domi essent

Greek uses a genitive absolute construction (ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος, 'having been in the house'); Peshitta employs a temporal clause with ܘܟܕ ܥܠܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ('and when they entered the house'); Vulgate uses a relative clause with cum-subjunctive (cum domi essent, 'when they were at home'). All three express the same temporal-locative circumstance through different syntactic strategies.

Greek NT ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς·
Peshitta ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ
Vulgate interrogabat eos

Peshitta uses a periphrastic construction ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ('was asking') with the participle plus auxiliary verb, mirroring the Greek imperfect ἐπηρώτα but making the progressive aspect more explicit. Vulgate interrogabat is a simple imperfect, semantically equivalent.

punctuation Vulgate only
Vulgate Quid

Vulgate inserts a colon to mark the transition to direct discourse, a punctuation convention absent in the Greek and Peshitta manuscripts.

Greek NT πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς (he'autous)
Peshitta ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ

Greek places the prepositional phrase πρὸς ἑαυτούς ('among yourselves') before the verb διελογίζεσθε; Peshitta places ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ('among you') after the verbal complex ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ; Vulgate omits an explicit equivalent to 'among yourselves,' leaving tractabatis without a reflexive or reciprocal modifier. The Vulgate reading is more concise but semantically complete in context.
