The Peshitta combines the conjunction and verb into a single prefixed form ܘܐܬܘ (w-ʾetaw, 'and-they-came'), a standard Syriac morphological pattern. Greek and Latin maintain separate tokens for conjunction and verb.
EN They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
ES Y volvieron á Jerusalem; y andando él por el templo, vienen á él los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los ancianos;
ZH-HANS 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候,祭司长和文士并长老进前来,
ZH-HANT 他們又來到耶路撒冷。耶穌在殿裏行走的時候,祭司長和文士並長老進前來,

Greek uses preposition + accusative (εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα) with a following conjunction καί; Syriac employs the prefixed preposition ܠ (l-) directly on the place name; Vulgate mirrors Greek structure but omits the second conjunction before the temporal clause.
Greek uses genitive absolute construction (ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ περιπατοῦντος αὐτοῦ); Vulgate employs a temporal cum-clause with imperfect subjunctive (cum ambularet in templo); Syriac uses the temporal particle ܘܟܕ (w-kad, 'and-when') with active participle ܡܗܠܟ plus periphrastic ܗܘܐ, yielding a functionally equivalent but syntactically distinct temporal construction.
Greek and Vulgate use article + plural noun (οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς / summi sacerdotes); Syriac employs the construct state ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ (rabbay kāhnē, 'chiefs-of priests'), a typical Semitic genitive construction without articles.
Greek uses conjunction + article + noun (καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς); Vulgate mirrors this with et scribæ; Syriac employs the prefixed conjunction ܘ on the noun ܣܦܪܐ (w-sāprē) without article, following standard Syriac syntax where definiteness is contextual.
The Vulgate adds a colon at verse end, marking a stronger pause before the following discourse. Greek manuscripts typically use a raised dot or no punctuation; Peshitta manuscripts vary but generally lack this heavy stop here.
