Mark 13 : 3

Greek employs a genitive absolute (καθημένου αὐτοῦ); both Latin (cum sederet) and Syriac (ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒ) render this with a temporal subordinate clause introduced by 'when', a syntactically distinct but semantically equivalent construction.

Greek and Vulgate express the subject pronominally (αὐτοῦ / -et of sederet), whereas the Peshitta makes the subject explicit by naming ܝܫܘܥ ('Jesus'), a common Syriac clarifying expansion that removes pronominal ambiguity.

Greek uses εἰς τὸ ὄρος with the article and a preposition of motion; Latin in monte is locative; Syriac fuses preposition and noun into the single prefixed form ܒܛܘܪܐ ('on the mountain'), reflecting normal Syriac morphology.

This token is a transliteration gloss (hi'erou) duplicating the preceding ἱεροῦ and carries no independent textual witness; it is grouped here as editorial apparatus rather than primary Greek text.

Greek ἐπηρώτα is imperfect singular ('he was asking'), referring to the verbal action; the Vulgate interrogabant is plural ('they were asking'), agreeing with the named disciples as compound subject, while the Syriac ܫܐܠܘܗܝ is likewise plural with the suffixed object pronoun — Latin and Syriac thus agree against the Greek in number.

Greek κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ('privately') is rendered by Latin separatim and by Syriac ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ('by themselves'); the Syriac uses a third-plural suffixed reflexive form, idiomatically pluralising the privacy to the disciples rather than treating it adverbially.
