construction All three attest
Greek NT Καὶ
Peshitta ܘܐܝܬ
Vulgate Et

Greek opens with καί plus the temporal adverb εὐθύς; Syriac fuses the conjunction into ܘܐܝܬ ('and there was'), a periphrastic existential construction, while Latin Et matches the Greek conjunction alone. The conjunctive force is shared but the syntactic packaging differs across the three.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT εὐθὺς

The characteristically Markan adverb εὐθύς ('immediately') is unrepresented in both the Peshitta and the Vulgate here. Neither version renders the temporal immediacy, a recurrent feature where the Syriac and Latin streamline Mark's repetitive εὐθύς.

construction All three attest
Greek NT ἦν
Peshitta ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ
Vulgate erat

Greek uses the simple imperfect ἦν ('there was'); Syriac employs the existential particle plus auxiliary ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ, a two-word periphrasis common in Syriac for past existence, whereas Latin erat matches the Greek imperfect directly.

Greek NT ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ
Peshitta ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ
Vulgate in synagoga

Greek expresses the locative with preposition, article, and noun (ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ); Latin mirrors this analytically as in synagoga; Syriac compresses the whole phrase into the single inflected form ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ, which incorporates the preposition, noun, and possessive suffix in one word.

Greek NT ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ
Peshitta ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܡܐܬܐ
Vulgate in spiritu immundo

Greek and Latin use a bare prepositional phrase (ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ / in spiritu immundo, 'with/in an unclean spirit'); the Syriac recasts the description as a relative clause ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܡܐܬܐ ('in whom there was an unclean spirit'), an explicitating construction that makes the man's possession by the spirit explicit.

punctuation Vulgate only
Vulgate et

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon before the following clause, marking a syntactic pause not signalled by punctuation in the unpointed Greek or Syriac source traditions. This is an editorial reading aid rather than a textual divergence.
