Greek NT παρετήρουν
Peshitta ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ
Vulgate observabant

The Greek imperfect παρετήρουν ('they were watching closely') expresses durative past action through a single finite verb; the Peshitta renders this periphrastically with ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ (participle + auxiliary ܗܘܘ), the standard Syriac construction for the continuous past. The Latin imperfect observabant matches the Greek aspect with a single form.

Greek NT τοῖς σάββασιν
Peshitta ܒܫܒܬܐ
Vulgate sabbatis

Greek and Latin both employ the plural (τοῖς σάββασιν / sabbatis), reflecting the Greek idiom in which the plural σάββατα frequently denotes a single Sabbath day; the Peshitta ܒܫܒܬܐ is singular, conforming to ordinary Syriac usage. The semantic referent is identical in all three.

Greek NT θεραπεύσει
Peshitta ܡܐܣܐ
Vulgate curaret

The Greek future indicative θεραπεύσει within the indirect question retains the original deliberative force; the Peshitta uses the participle ܡܐܣܐ ('heals/would heal') and the Vulgate the imperfect subjunctive curaret, both adapting the mood to their respective conditional-question syntax. No semantic divergence results.

Greek NT αὐτὸν
Peshitta ܠܗ

The Greek and Peshitta supply an explicit pronominal object (αὐτόν / ܠܗ, 'him') marking the one to be healed; the Vulgate leaves the object unexpressed after curaret, relying on context. The Latin omission is stylistic rather than substantive.

Greek NT ἵνα
Vulgate ut

Greek introduces the purpose clause with ἵνα and Latin with ut; the Peshitta lacks a separate conjunction, instead folding the purpose into the modal/imperfect verb form ܢܩܛܪܓܘܢܝܗܝ, a typical Syriac construction expressing intent without an overt subordinator.

Greek NT κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ
Peshitta ܢܩܛܪܓܘܢܝܗܝ
Vulgate accusarent illum

Greek κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ and Latin accusarent illum render the accusation with verb plus separate object pronoun; the Peshitta ܢܩܛܪܓܘܢܝܗܝ (from the loanword ܩܛܪܓ, Greek κατηγορέω) incorporates the pronominal object suffix into the verb, a single synthetic form. The shared Greek lexical base across Greek and Syriac is notable.
