Greek NT ἀπῆλθον
Peshitta ܘܐܙܠܘ
Vulgate abeuntes

Greek uses a finite aorist ἀπῆλθον ('they departed'); the Vulgate renders it with a present participle abeuntes ('going away'), a construction-level shift to a circumstantial clause. The Peshitta ܘܐܙܠܘ ('and they went') likewise finite, sharing its conjunction with the preceding καί so that index 0 covers both connective and verb.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT δὲ καὶ

The Greek connective pair δὲ καὶ ('and indeed/now also') is a typical Markan polysyndeton not represented in either the Vulgate or the Peshitta, both of which compress the double conjunction into a single coordinating link. The omission is stylistic rather than semantic.

Greek NT πρὸς τὴν θύραν
Peshitta ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ
Vulgate ante januam

Greek πρὸς τὴν θύραν uses preposition + article + accusative; the Vulgate ante januam and the Peshitta ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ('at/upon the door') drop the article (absent in Syriac and unneeded in Latin) and select prepositions of slightly different spatial nuance ('before' vs. 'upon'), a routine idiomatic adjustment.

Greek NT ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου
Peshitta ܒܫܘܩܐ
Vulgate in bivio

Greek ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου ('on the street/around the block') is rendered by the Vulgate as in bivio ('at the crossroads/fork'), a lexical specification of the rare term ἄμφοδον; the Peshitta ܒܫܘܩܐ ('in the marketplace/street') chooses yet another lexeme, none of the three being precisely synonymous though all denote the public way.

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul
expansion Vulgate only
Vulgate et

The Vulgate inserts editorial punctuation (a colon) marking the clause boundary before the second verb; neither the Greek nor the Syriac transmits such a stop, this being a Clementine editorial feature.

construction All three attest
Greek NT καὶ
Peshitta ܘܟܕ
Vulgate solvunt

Greek and Latin coordinate the final clause with simple καί / et ('and'); the Peshitta employs ܘܟܕ ('and when'), introducing a temporal subordination absent in the other witnesses and slightly altering the syntactic relationship of the untying to the finding.

Greek NT λύουσιν
Peshitta ܫܪܝܢ
Vulgate eum

Greek λύουσιν and Latin solvunt are present indicatives ('they untie'); the Peshitta ܫܪܝܢ is an active participle governed by the preceding ܟܕ, yielding 'and as they were untying', a tense/aspect difference flowing from the temporal subordination noted above.
