Mark 15 : 12

Greek employs the article ὁ with δέ to mark subject continuity; Peshitta uses the independent pronoun ܗܘ ('he') for the same function; Vulgate omits both, relying on verb inflection and word order to identify Pilatus as subject.

Vulgate places Pilatus in initial position for emphasis, whereas Greek and Peshitta position the proper name after the conjunction and article/pronoun respectively.

Greek πάλιν and Vulgate iterum ('again') are absent from the Peshitta, which omits the adverb entirely—possibly viewing it as redundant in the narrative flow or reflecting a different Vorlage.

Greek uses a participial construction (ἀποκριθεὶς ἔλεγεν, 'answering, he was saying') to express durative or iterative action; Vulgate mirrors this with respondens ait; Peshitta employs a single finite verb ܐܡܪ ('he said'), a typical Semitic simplification of Greek participial phrases.

Vulgate inserts a colon after illis to mark direct discourse, whereas Greek uses a raised dot (·) and Peshitta relies on syntactic context without explicit punctuation for the speech introduction.

Peshitta makes the second-person plural subject explicit with ܐܢܬܘܢ ('you [pl.]') following the verb ܨܒܝܢ, a common Syriac practice for clarity; Greek θέλετε and Vulgate vultis encode the subject in verbal inflection alone.
