Mark 13 : 1

Greek opens with καί followed by a genitive absolute participle (ἐκπορευομένου); the Vulgate renders the temporal clause with et cum + imperfect subjunctive (egrederetur), and the Peshitta with the compound conjunction ܘܟܕ ('and when'). The constructions are equivalent in sense but the Greek participial absolute is reframed as a finite subordinate clause in both versions.

Greek and Vulgate carry the pronominal subject (αὐτοῦ / encoded in egrederetur), whereas the Peshitta makes the subject explicit by naming ܝܫܘܥ ('Jesus'), a common Syriac clarifying tendency to specify pronominal referents at the head of a pericope.

Greek expresses the partitive genitive plural μαθητῶν + possessive αὐτοῦ ('of his disciples'); the Vulgate renders the possessor with a separate adjective suis, while the Peshitta fuses the noun and the third-person possessive suffix into a single form ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ. The difference is purely morphological, reflecting each language's manner of marking possession.

The single Greek interjection ἴδε ('behold') is matched by the Vulgate's imperative aspice ('look'), but the Peshitta employs a hendiadys of ܗܐ ('behold') plus ܚܙܝ ('see'), doubling the attention-marker — a characteristic Syriac amplification of deictic particles.

The Greek repeats the full exclamatory pronoun ποταπαὶ (feminine) before the second noun, and the Vulgate likewise repeats quales; the Peshitta economises by prefixing the conjunction ܘ directly to a single repeated interrogative ܘܐܝܠܝܢ, here grouped with the conjunction (idx 15) so that the second exclamatory force is carried compactly.

The Greek mid-verse high point (·) after αὐτοῦ and the Vulgate colon (:) both mark the onset of direct speech; the Peshitta supplies no graphic punctuation, relying on syntax alone to introduce the disciple's address.
