omission Two witnesses
Greek NT καὶ
Vulgate Et

Greek καί and Latin Et open the verse with paratactic conjunction; the Peshitta omits the connective entirely, beginning directly with the verb ܐܡܪ ('he said'), a stylistic feature of Syriac narrative that does not require an introductory copula.

Greek NT ἔλεγεν
Peshitta ܐܡܪ
Vulgate dicebat

Greek ἔλεγεν and Latin dicebat are imperfect ('he was saying', continuous aspect), whereas the Syriac ܐܡܪ is a perfect/simple past ('he said'); Syriac lacks a morphological imperfect of this nuance and renders the durative Greek with its unmarked past form.

Greek NT οὔπω
Peshitta ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ
Vulgate intelligitis

Greek οὔπω and Latin nondum render 'not yet' as a single adverb, while the Peshitta employs the analytic phrase ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ('not until now'), a periphrastic expansion idiomatic to Syriac that conveys the identical temporal sense.

construction All three attest
Greek NT πῶς
Peshitta ܐܝܟܘ
Vulgate nondum

The interrogative (πῶς / Quomodo / ܐܝܟܘ, 'how') stands after the negative adverb in Greek and Latin but is fronted to the head of the clause in the Peshitta, reflecting Syriac preference for placing the interrogative element early.

gloss All three attest
Greek NT συνίετε;¶
Peshitta ܡܣܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ

Greek συνίετε and Latin intelligitis encode the second-person plural subject within the verb, whereas the Peshitta uses the participle ܡܣܬܟܠܝܢ with the explicit enclitic pronoun ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you'), the standard Syriac participial construction for the present tense that supplies the pronoun as a separate token.
