Mark 15 : 42

The Peshitta omits the temporal adverb ἤδη / jam ('already'), which Greek and Latin use to emphasize the lateness of the hour. This is a stylistic reduction, as the temporal clause ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ('when it was evening') sufficiently conveys the timing without the intensifier.

Greek uses a genitive absolute construction (ὀψίας γενομένης, 'evening having arrived'); Latin employs a cum-clause with factum (cum sero esset factum, 'when it had become late'); Syriac uses a temporal ܟܕ-clause with simple verb (ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ, 'when it was evening'). All three express the same temporal circumstance through tradition-specific syntactic patterns.

The Peshitta omits the causal conjunction ἐπεὶ / quia ('since/because'), moving directly from the temporal clause to the explanatory material. The causal relationship remains implicit in the Syriac syntax through simple juxtaposition of the clauses.

Greek uses a relative clause with neuter singular pronoun (ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον, 'which is [the day] before Sabbath'); Latin mirrors this structure (quod est ante sabbatum); Syriac employs a ܕ-clause with prepositional phrase (ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܩܕܡ ܫܒܬܐ, 'which is before Sabbath'). All three provide the same explanatory gloss for παρασκευή / parasceve / ܥܪܘܒܬܐ through functionally equivalent relative constructions.
