Mark 6 : 54

Greek employs a genitive absolute (ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν, 'when they had gone out'); the Vulgate renders this with a cum-clause plus pluperfect subjunctive (Cumque egressi essent); the Peshitta uses a temporal ܘܟܕ ('and when') with a finite perfect ܢܦܩܘ. All three express the same circumstantial-temporal sense through distinct subordinating strategies.

Greek marks the noun with the article (τοῦ πλοίου, 'the boat'); the Vulgate navi and the Syriac ܣܦܝܢܬܐ use the bare/emphatic noun respectively, neither language possessing a definite article of the Greek type, so the definiteness is rendered idiomatically rather than lexically.

The Greek adverb εὐθύς ('immediately') and Latin continuo are single lexemes; the Peshitta renders the same notion with the idiomatic adverbial phrase ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ('in the son of its hour', i.e. 'at that very moment'), a standard Syriac periphrasis for instantaneity.

The Peshitta supplies an explicit subject ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ ('the men of the region/place') for the verb 'recognised him', whereas the Greek and Latin leave the subject implicit in the third-person plural verb. This is a clarifying expansion typical of Syriac narrative style, making explicit who did the recognising.

The Clementine Vulgate places a colon at the verse end, marking the syntactic boundary before the following clause; neither the Greek nor the Syriac transmit corresponding punctuation in this edition.
