Mark 16 : 8

EN They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

substitution All three attest
Greek NT καὶ
Peshitta ܘܟܕ
Vulgate At

Greek καὶ ('and') is rendered by Syriac ܘܟܕ ('and when'), which adds a temporal nuance, while Latin uses At ('but'), introducing a mild adversative contrast absent in the Greek.

construction All three attest
Greek NT ἐξελθοῦσαι
Peshitta ܘܢܦܩ
Vulgate illæ exeuntes

Greek ἐξελθοῦσαι (aorist participle 'having gone out') precedes the main verb; Syriac ܘܢܦܩ ('and they went out') follows the verb ܥܪܩ ('they fled'); Latin illæ exeuntes mirrors Greek word order with participle before main verb.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT ταχὺ

Greek adverb ταχὺ ('quickly') is omitted in both Peshitta and Vulgate, possibly deemed redundant given the urgency implied by 'fled.'

Greek NT ἔφυγον
Peshitta ܥܪܩ
Vulgate fugerunt

Greek ἔφυγον ('they fled') appears after the participle and adverb; Syriac ܥܪܩ ('they fled') precedes ܘܢܦܩ ('and they went out'), reversing the sequence; Latin fugerunt follows Greek order.

expansion Peshitta only
Peshitta ܫܡܥ

Peshitta inserts ܫܡܥ ('having heard'), absent in both Greek and Latin, possibly harmonising with a tradition that the women heard something (the angel's message) before fleeing.

Greek NT εἶχεν γὰρ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις
Peshitta ܐܚܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܗܪܐ ܘܪܬܝܬܐ
Vulgate enim eas tremor et pavor et nemini

Greek uses ἔκστασις ('amazement, ecstasy') alongside τρόμος ('trembling'); Syriac employs ܬܗܪܐ ('wonder') and ܪܬܝܬܐ ('trembling'); Latin uses tremor et pavor ('trembling and fear'), substituting pavor for ἔκστασις, emphasising terror over astonishment.

Greek NT οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπαν·
Peshitta ܘܠܐܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ
Vulgate dixerunt timebant enim

Greek employs double negative οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν ('to no one nothing'); Syriac uses ܘܠܐܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ('and to anyone anything not'), placing the negation ܠܐ after the object; Latin nemini quidquam dixerunt mirrors Greek structure with negatives before the verb.

Greek NT ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.¶
Peshitta ܕܚܝܠܢ ܗܘܝ ܓܝܪ

Greek ἐφοβοῦντο (imperfect middle-passive 'they were being afraid') conveys ongoing state; Syriac ܕܚܝܠܢ ܗܘܝ (perfect + auxiliary 'they had feared') uses a compound construction; Latin timebant (imperfect active) aligns with Greek tense-aspect.

omission Greek NT only
Greek NT [[Πάντα δὲ τὰ παρηγγελμένα τοῖς περὶ τὸν Πέτρον συντόμως ἐξήγγειλαν Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς καὶ ἄχρι δύσεως ἐξαπέστειλεν δι᾽ (di᾽) αὐτῶν τὸ ἱερὸν (hi'eron) καὶ ἄφθαρτον κήρυγμα τῆς αἰωνίου

The so-called 'Shorter Ending' (Mark 16:8b, tokens 19–52) is absent in both Peshitta and Vulgate witnesses here. This passage, attested in some Greek manuscripts (L Ψ 099 0112 etc.), reports that the women promptly told Peter's circle and that Jesus sent out the gospel from east to west; its omission reflects the textual tradition ending at 16:8a.
