Greek NT ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν
Peshitta ܒܫܡܝܐ
Vulgate suscipiens in cælum

Greek ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν ('having looked up to heaven') and the Vulgate suscipiens in cælum render the gesture with participle plus prepositional phrase, whereas the Peshitta compresses this to ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ('and he looked at heaven'), using a finite verb and folding the directional sense into the preposition ܒ. The substance is identical; only the syntactic packaging differs.

Greek NT λέγει
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate ait

Greek λέγει is a vivid historic present ('he says'), a Markan stylistic hallmark, while both the Peshitta perfect ܘܐܡܪ and the Vulgate ait render it as a simple past. The versions normalise the narrative tense, smoothing Mark's characteristic present.

lexical Two witnesses
Greek NT εφφαθα
Vulgate quod

Greek transliterates the Aramaic command as εφφαθα and the Vulgate as Ephphetha, preserving the foreign loan-word for its evangelistic effect. The Peshitta has no separate transliteration here because the original Aramaic word coincides with its own native verb, given directly below.

omission Two witnesses
Greek NT ὅ ἐστιν διανοίχθητι
Vulgate est Adaperire

The explanatory gloss ὅ ἐστιν διανοίχθητι ('which is, Be opened'), rendered in the Vulgate as quod est, Adaperire, is absent from the Peshitta. Since Syriac is itself an Aramaic dialect, the translation gloss intended for Greek/Latin readers is superfluous, and the single Peshitta verb ܐܬܦܬܚ below supplies the meaning directly.

idiom Peshitta only
Peshitta ܐܬܦܬܚ

The Peshitta gives only ܐܬܦܬܚ ('be opened'), the ethpʿel imperative of p-th-kh, which simultaneously functions as the spoken command and renders Jesus' word without need of a separate transliteration-plus-gloss. This collapses the Greek/Latin two-part structure (foreign word + translation) into one native term.
