Mark 14 : 31

Greek ἐκπερισσῶς ('overexceedingly') is intensified beyond Vulgate amplius ('more') and Peshitta ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ('exceedingly'), though all three convey emphatic speech. The Greek compound reflects Markan stylistic hyperbole.

Greek uses imperfect ἐλάλει with adverb μᾶλλον ('he was saying more'); Peshitta employs periphrastic perfect ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ('he had been saying'); Vulgate uses simple imperfect loquebatur with colon punctuation. All express iterative past action but with different aspectual nuances.

Greek conditional ἐὰν δέῃ με ('if it be necessary for me') places the pronoun after the verb; Vulgate si oportuerit me reverses to verb-final; Peshitta ܕܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ('if it should be to me') uses prepositional dative construction. Semantically equivalent despite syntactic variation.

Greek compound verb συναποθανεῖν σοι ('to die together with you') uses simple dative; Vulgate expands to simul commori tibi with adverb simul + infinitive; Peshitta ܠܡܡܬ ܥܡܟ ('to die with you') uses prepositional phrase. The Vulgate's simul makes the 'togetherness' explicit where Greek encodes it in the prefix συν-.

Peshitta adds vocative ܡܪܝ ('my Lord') as direct address, absent in both Greek and Vulgate. This represents Syriac liturgical or devotional expansion, making Peter's oath more explicitly reverential.

Greek ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ ('likewise now also') uses three particles; Vulgate Similiter autem et mirrors this structure; Peshitta ܘܐܟܘܬܗ ܐܦ ('and likewise also') reduces to two connectives with coordinating waw. Functionally identical transitional phrases.
