Greek NT εὐθὺς
Peshitta ܘܡܚܕܐ
Vulgate statim

Greek εὐθὺς and Latin statim are independent adverbs ('immediately'); the Peshitta fuses the conjunction and adverb into a single form ܘܡܚܕܐ (w-mekhda, 'and at once'), so the same semantic content is distributed across one Syriac token rather than two.

Greek NT ἀναβαίνων
Peshitta ܕܣܠܩ
Vulgate ascendens

Greek uses an anarthrous present participle ἀναβαίνων ('going up') and Latin matches with the participle ascendens; the Peshitta employs a finite relative-clause construction ܕܣܠܩ ('who went up'), a typical Syriac strategy for rendering Greek circumstantial participles.

Greek NT σχιζομένους
Peshitta ܕܐܣܬܕܩܘ
Vulgate apertos

Greek σχιζομένους ('being torn apart', present passive participle) is the vivid Markan term for the heavens splitting; the Peshitta renders ܕܐܣܬܕܩܘ ('that were rent', Ethpaʿel perfect) with comparable violence, while the Vulgate softens this to apertos ('opened'), a lexical mitigation also found in the Matthean/Lukan parallels (cf. Matt 3:16; Luke 3:21).

Greek NT τοὺς οὐρανοὺς
Peshitta ܫܡܝܐ
Vulgate cælos

Greek and Latin both use the plural (οὐρανοὺς / cælos, 'heavens'), reflecting the Semitic dual/plural of שָׁמַיִם; the Peshitta ܫܡܝܐ is morphologically the standard Syriac form (functionally plural) but appears without the explicit article that Greek supplies.

Greek NT καταβαῖνον
Peshitta ܕܢܚܬܬ
Vulgate descendentem manentem

Greek καταβαῖνον and Syriac ܕܢܚܬܬ both attest only the single motion 'descending'; the Vulgate uniquely expands to descendentem, et manentem ('descending and remaining'), a harmonisation toward the Johannine account where the Spirit remains upon Jesus (cf. John 1:32-33). The Latin doublet thus imports a theological nuance absent from the Markan Greek and Peshitta.

Greek NT εἰς αὐτόν·
Peshitta ܥܠܘܗܝ
Vulgate in ipso

Greek εἰς αὐτόν ('into/upon him') with the directional preposition εἰς is matched by Latin in ipso and the Syriac suffixed ܥܠܘܗܝ ('upon him'); the prepositions vary slightly in nuance (motion vs. rest) but all denote the descent terminating upon Jesus.
