the priests, and present an offering as Moses prescribed, as evidence for them

For I also am a man with authority, and there are soldiers under me, and
if I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he
comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it

believed, so be it. And his servant was cured that moment

. Jesus said to them, Why are you afraid, you lacking in faith! Then he
got up, and reprimanded the wind and the sea; and all was calm

so
fierce that no one could pass that way

you Son of God. Have you come here to torment us before the time
30 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ
ܕܝܢ ܠܗܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܩܪܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ

31 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ
ܫܐܕܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܐܦܤ ܠܢ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܒܩܪܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ

And Jesus said to them, Go then. And they came out,
and entered into the pigs; and at that the whole herd ran off a cliff and into
the sea, and were drown
33
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܪܩܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܚܘܝܘ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܘܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܘܢܐ
. And the swineherds fled, and entered the
town, and told all that had happened, and about the demoniacs
34
ܘܢܦܩܬ ܟܠܗ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܫܢܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܝܗܘܢ
. And all the town came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they
pleaded with him to leave from their shores
. And he boarded the boat, and crossed over and came back to his own
town
2 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܟܕ

And they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus saw
their faith, and said to the paralytic: Take courage, my child; your sins are
forgiven
3 ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܡܪܘ
ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܡܓܕܦ
. And some of the scribes said in their minds, This man blasphemes
4 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ
ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ
? But Jesus knew their thoughts: and he said to them, Why do you
have such
evil in your heart
5 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܫܝܩ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ
ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܐܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܩܘܡ ܗܠܟ
? For, which is the easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to
say, Get up and walk
6 ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܒܪܗ
ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: Get up, pick up your bed, and go off
home
7 ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ
And he got up and went to his home.
8 ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ
ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ
. And when the crowds saw this, they were struck with awe; and they
praised God, who had given such power to men
9 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܚܙܐ
ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܤܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܬܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ
And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the
customs house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Follow me: and he
got up and followed him
10 ܘܟܕ ܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ
ܐܬܘ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
. And as they were sitting in a house, many tax collectors and
sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples
11 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܠܥܤ ܪܒܟܘܢ
? And when the Pharisees saw it they said to his disciples, Why does
your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners
12 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ
ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ
. And as Jesus heard, he said to them: It is not the healthy
who
have need of a doctor, but the sick
13 ܙܠܘ ܝܠܦܘ
ܡܢܘ ܚܢܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ
. Go and learn what is meant by: What I want is compassion, not sacrifice! For I did not come to call the
virtuous, but the sinful
14 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ

? Then came to him the disciples of John, and said:
Why do we and the Pharisees fast much and your disciples fast not
15 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܓܢܘܢܐ ܠܡܨܡ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ
ܚܬܢܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܨܘܡܘܢ
Jesus said to them: Can the guests of the wedding feast fast
as
long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom
will be taken from them, and then they will fast
16 ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ
ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܥܠ ܢܚܬܐ ܒܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܘܦ ܡܠܝܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܢܚܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܙܥܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ
. No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment; for it may
shrink, and tear from that garment, and the tear become greater
17 ܘܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ
ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܒܠܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܙܩܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܘܙܩܐ ܐܒܕܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ
ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪܝܢ
And they do not put new wine into old wineskins; lest the wineskins
burst, and the wine run out, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine
into new wineskins and they are both preserved
18 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ

And while he was talking with them a certain
official came over near, bowed to him, and said: My daughter is already dead,
but come lay your hand upon her, and she will live
19 ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ
ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ
. And Jesus rose up, and his disciples, and they followed him
20 ܘܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ
ܕܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܗ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܠܩܪܢܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ
: And behold, a woman whose blood had hemorrhaged for twelve years,
came up behind him, and touched the edge of his clothes
21 ܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ
ܓܝܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܐܦܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܡܐܢܗ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܐܤܝܐ ܐܢܐ

. And Jesus turned himself, looked at her, and said to her: Be brave,
my daughter; your faith has given you Life. And the woman was cured from that
moment
23 ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ
ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܙܡܪܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܫܝܢ
. And Jesus came to the house of the official: and he
saw there lamenters, and crowds making a commotion
24 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
ܦܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ
. And he said to them: Leave, for the girl is not dead, but sleeps.
And they laughed at him
25 ܘܟܕ ܐܦܩ
ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ
. And when he had removed the people, he went inside,
and took her by the hand, and the girl stood up
26 ܘܢܦܩ ܛܒܐ
ܗܢܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ
. And the news of this spread all thru that land
27 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ
ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܕܒܩܘܗܝ ܤܡܝܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܩܥܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ
! And when Jesus had passed from there, two blind men followed after
him, and said: Have mercy on us, Son of David
28 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ

And when he had entered a house, those blind men approached him, and
Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I can do this ? They said to him,
Yes, Lord
29 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒ
ܠܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ
. Then he touched their eyes, and said: As you have believed, so will
it be for you
30 ܘܡܚܕܐ
ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܘ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ
. And with that their eyes were opened. And Jesus ordered them and
said: See that no one knows
31 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ
ܢܦܩܘ ܐܛܒܘܗܝ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ
. But they went out and spread the news of it in all that land
32 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ
ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܐ
. And as Jesus left, they brought to him a dumb man in
whom was a demon
33 ܘܡܢ ܕܢܦܩ
ܕܝܘܐ ܡܠܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܫܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܐܝܤܪܐܝܠ
! And when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke. And the
crowds were amazed, and said: Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel
34 ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ
. But the Pharisees said: It is by the Prince of demons, that he expels
demons
35 ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ

And Jesus traveled over all the towns and the villages, and he
taught in their congregations, and preached the Gospel of the Realm, and healed
all kinds of diseases and sicknesses
36 ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ
ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܫܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܐ

were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd
37
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ
. And he said to his disciples, The harvest is large, but the laborers
few
38
ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ
. Ask, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest to send
laborers to his harvest
. And he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority
to expel unclean spirits, and to heal every kind of sickness and disease

he instructed them and said: Do not visit the Gentiles and do not enter the
towns of the Samaritans
6
ܙܠܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܐܒܕܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܤܪܝܠ

the house of Israel

be not worthy, your peace will return upon yourselves

And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your
sermons, when you leave from that house or that town, shake off the dust from
your feet

Gomorrah on the day of judgment, rather than be that town
16

as
cunning as serpents, and harmless as doves

will scourge you in their congregations
18
ܘܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܥܡܡܐ

20
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܒܟܘܢ

son; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to die

And when they persecute you in one town, take refuge to another: for truly
I say to you, You will not have covered all the towns of the house of Israel
before the Son of Man comes
24
ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ

It is enough for the disciple, that he be as his
teacher; and the
servant, as his master. If they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much
more the children of his family
26
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܕܡܛܫܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܝܕܥ

And do not fear those that deprive the body of life, but cannot
destroy the

falls to the ground without your Father's consent

35
ܐܬܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦܠܘܓ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܡܗ ܘܟܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܡܬܗ

He that welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet, will receive a

man, will receive a holy man's reward

And whoever will give one of these lowly ones a cup of
cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not

. And when Jesus had finished
teaching his twelve disciples, he
left there to teach and to preach in their towns
2
ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܕܪ ܒܝܕ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ

the works of Messiah, he sent a message by way of his disciples
3
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܐܢܚܢܢ

look for another
4
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܐܫܬܥܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܚܙܝܢ

about
John: What did you go into the desert to see ? A reed that swayed in the
wind
8
ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ

the palaces
9
ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ

any greater than John the Baptist, yet the least one in the Realm of Heaven is
greater than he

Heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force
13
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܐܘܪܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ

John
14
ܘܐܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܠܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܐܠܝܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܐܬܐ
. And, if you are prepared to accept it, that this is he who was to

18
ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ

The Son of Man came, eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a
gluttonous man, and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and sinners.
But wisdom is proven by her works

ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܚܤܕܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܗܝܢ ܚܝܠܘܗܝ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ
Then Jesus began to reproach the towns in which his many
miracles were performed, yet they did not reform
21
ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܟܘܪܙܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܨܘܪ ܘܒܨܝܕܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢ
ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܤܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ ܬܒܘ
And he said: Woe to you, Chorazin ! Woe to you, Bethsaida ! For if
the miracles done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they
would long ago have reformed in sackcloth and ashes
22
ܒܪܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝܢ ܕܠܨܘܪ ܘܠܨܝܕܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝܢ

day of judgment, rather than for you
23

ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ
And you, Capernaum, which has been exalted to the skies, will
go down to the realm of death. For if those miracles which were done in
you, had been done in Sodom, it would be standing to this day
24
ܒܪܡ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܕܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝ

At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise you, O my Father,
Lord of Heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the learned and
clever, and have revealed them to merest children
26
ܐܝܢ ܐܒܝ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ

Every thing has been given over to me by my Father. And no one knows the
Son but the Father, and no one knows the Father, but the Son, and anyone
whom the Son wishes to reveal him
28
ܬܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܝܐ ܘܫܩܝܠܝ ܡܘܒܠܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܢܝܚܟܘܢ

humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls
30
ܢܝܪܝ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܘܡܘܒܠܝ ܩܠܝܠܐ ܗܝ

. At that time Jesus, on the Sabbath, walked in the fields, and his
disciples were hungry, and began to pick off the heads of grain and to eat
2

And when the Pharisees saw them,
they said to him: See; your disciples are doing that which it is forbidden to do
on the Sabbath
3
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ

hungry, and they that were with him
4
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܟܠ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ

How he went to the house of God, and ate the bread of the Lord's
table; which it was forbidden for him to eat, nor for them that were with
him, but solely for the priests
5
ܐܘ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܝܬܐ ܕܟܗܢܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ ܐܢܘܢ
? Or have you not read in the law, how that the priests on
temple duty break the Sabbath rest, and are without guilt
6
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܪܟܐ
. But I say to you, that something
greater than the temple is here

you would not have condemned the innocent men
8
ܡܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
. For the Son of Man is indeed Lord of the Sabbath
9
ܘܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ

10
ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܐܝܟ

? And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned
him that they might accuse him and said, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath
11
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܪܒܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܢ ܢܦܠ ܒܚܒܪܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܚܕ

? And he said to them, What man among you is there, who, if he has a
sheep, and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, does not get hold of it
and lift it out
12
ܟܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ
. Now, how more precious a human being is than a sheep
! Surely it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath
13
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ
. Then said he to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched
out his hand; and it was restored like the other
14
ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ
. And the Pharisees went outside and plotted against him, that
they might do away with him
15
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܤܝ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ
. But Jesus was aware, and he withdrew from there. And great crowds
followed him, and he cured them all
16
ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܓܠܘܢܝܗܝ
: And he ordered them not to make public what he had done
17
ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ
: that what was said as spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled
18

Behold my servant, in whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom
my soul delights. I will endow him with my spirit; and he will proclaim true
faith
to the nations
19
ܠܐ ܢܬܚܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܡܥ ܩܠܗ ܒܫܘܩܐ
. He will not brawl, nor shout, nor will any one hear his voice in
the streets
20
ܩܢܝܐ ܪܥܝܥܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܪ ܘܫܪܓܐ ܕܡܛܦܛܦ ܠܐ ܢܕܥܟ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܙܟܘܬܐ
. The bent reed he will not break; and the flickering lamp he will
not put out; until he has led truth to victory
21
ܘܒܫܡܗ ܥܡܡܐ ܢܤܒܪܘܢ
. And in his name the nations will trust
22
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܚܪܫ ܘܥܘܝܪ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܪܫܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܘܢܚܙܐ
. Then they brought to him a demoniac that was dumb and blind, and he
healed him, so that the dumb and blind man both spoke and saw
23
ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ
? And all the crowd were amazed, and said: Can this be the son of
David
24
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ
. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said: This man
does not expel demons, except by with Beelzebub the prince of demons
25
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܕܬܬܦܠܓ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܬܚܪܒ ܘܟܠ ܒܝ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ ܕܢܬܦܠܓ

And Jesus, aware their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom that
is torn against itself, will fall; and every household or town which
is split apart, will not last
26
ܘܐܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܡܦܩ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ
? Now if Satan expels Satan, he himself is torn apart; how then
does his dominion last
27
ܘܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ

expel
them ? Let them be your judges
28
ܘܐܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
. But if I by the Spirit of God expel demons, the Realm of God has
overtaken you
29
ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܠܒܝܬ ܚܤܝܢܐ ܘܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܢܒܘܙ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܢܐܤܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܚܤܝܢܐ
ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܢܒܘܙ
Or how can one enter a strong man's house and
plunder his goods, unless he first ties up the strong man? and then he may
plunder his house
30
ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܢܫ ܥܡܝ ܡܒܕܪܘ ܡܒܕܪ
. He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathers not
with me so scatters
31
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܘܓܘܕܦܝܢ ܢܫܬܒܩܘܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܐ
ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ
Therefore I say to you, that all sins and blasphemies of
men will be
forgiven; except the blasphemy against the Spirit, which men will not be
forgiven of
32
ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ
ܠܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ
And whoever will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be
forgiven him: but whoever will speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not for
him be
forgiven; not in this world, and not in the world to come
33
ܐܘ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܘ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܗܘ
ܓܝܪ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܐܝܠܢܐ
. Either make the tree good, and its fruits good; or make the tree
rotten, and its fruits rotten: for a tree is known by its fruits
34
ܝܠܕܐ ܕܐܟܕܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠ
ܦܘܡܐ
. Brood of vipers, how can you who are evil, speak good things ?
For out of what fills the heart the mouth speaks
35
ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ
. A good man out of good stores brings forth good, and a
evil man out of evil stores brings forth evil
36
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܒܛܠܐ ܕܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܬܠܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ
. For I say to you, That for every thoughtless word that men speak,
they will be held accountable for it on the day of judgment
37
ܡܢ ܡܠܝܟ ܓܝܪ ܬܙܕܕܩ ܘܡܢ ܡܠܝܟ ܬܬܚܝܒ
. For by your words you will be acquitted; and by your words you will
be condemned
38
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܥܢܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܬܐ
. Then answered some of the scribes and of the Pharisees, and said to
him: Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you
39
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ
ܢܒܝܐ
But he replied and said to them: An evil and
unfaithful generation demands a sign: but a sign will not be given to it, but
that of the sign of Jonah the prophet
40
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܐ ܝܘܢܢ ܒܟܪܤܗ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܠܝܠܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܠܒܗ
ܕܐܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܐܝܡܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܠܝܠܘܢ
For as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three
nights; so will the Son of man be in the core of the earth three days and three
nights
41
ܓܒܪܐ ܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܗ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܬܒܘ ܒܟܪܘܙܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܪܒ
ܡܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܬܢܢ
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment toward this
generation, and will condemn it: for they reformed at the preaching of Jonah;
and a greater than Jonah is here
42
ܡܠܟܬܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܬܚܝܒܝܗ ܕܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܥܒܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܗ
ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ
The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment
toward this
generation, and will condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth
to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and a superior to Solomon is here
43
ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܬܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܬܟܪܟܐ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܢܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ
ܡܫܟܚܐ
. And when an unclean spirit goes out of a man, it wanders in
desolate places, and seeks rest and finds not
44
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܒܝܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܕܤܪܝܩ ܘܚܡܝܡ ܘܡܨܒܬ
Then it says: I will go back to my dwelling from which I came out. And
it goes and finds it unoccupied, swept clean, and put in order
45
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܥܡܗ ܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܕܡܢܗ ܒܝܫܢ ܘܥܐܠܢ ܘܥܡܪܢ ܒܗ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ
ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ
So it goes off and brings with it seven other spirits, worse than itself,
and they enter and settle in it; and in the end that man is worse off than he
began. So will it be with this evil generation
46
ܟܕ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܘ ܐܡܗ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܗ
. And while he addressed the crowds, his mother and his brothers
appeared and stood outside to speak with him
47
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܗܐ ܐܡܟ ܘܐܚܝܟ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܟ
. And someone said to him: your mother and your brothers stand
outside and want to speak with you
48
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܐܡܝ ܘܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܚܝ
? But he replied, and said to him that told him: Who is my mother
? and who are my brothers
49
ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܐܡܝ ܘܗܐ ܐܚܝ
! And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said:
Behold my mother, and behold my brothers
50
ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܐܚܝ ܘܚܬܝ ܘܐܡܝ
. For every one that does the will of my Heavenly Father, that person is my brother, and my sister, and my mother
. And on that same day Jesus left out of the house, and sat by the shore of
the sea
2
ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܤܩ ܢܬܒ ܠܗ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܤܦܪ ܝܡܐ
. And great crowds gathered around him, so that he boarded and seated
himself in a boat, and all the crowd stood on the shore of the sea
3
ܘܤܓܝ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܢܦܩ ܙܪܘܥܐ ܕܢܙܪܘܥ
. An he told them many things by parable. And he said, Behold, a
farmer went forth to sow
4
ܘܟܕ ܙܪܥ ܐܝܬ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܘܐܟܠܬܗ
. And as he sowed, some seed fell
upon the side of a path: and a bird came and ate it
5
ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܫܘܚ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܘܡܩܐ
ܕܐܪܥܐ
. And some fell upon rock, so that it
had not much soil: and it sprouted, because there was no depth to the earth
6
ܟܕ ܕܢܚ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܫܐ ܚܡ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܩܪܐ ܝܒܫ
. But when the sun was up it wilted. And, because it had
few roots, it
dried up
7
ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܚܢܩܘܗܝ
. And some fell among thorns: and the
thorns shot up, and choked it
8
ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܕܡܐܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܫܬܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ
. And some fell on good ground; and bore fruits, some a hundredfold,
some sixty-fold, and some thirty-fold
9
ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ
. He that has ears to hear, let him hear
10
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ
? And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you address them in
parables
11
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܡܕܥ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܗܝܒ
And he answered, and said to them: Because, to you is given knowledge
of the mysteries of the Realm of Heaven, but to others it is not
12
ܠܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܢܬܝܬܪ ܠܗ
ܘܠܡܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗ
. For to him that has, he will be given; and he will
abound: but from him that has not, even what he has will be taken from him
13 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܘܠܐ
ܚܙܝܢ ܘܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ
. For this reason I address them in parables, because they see and do
not see, and they hear and do not hear, nor understand
14
ܘܫܠܡܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܘܬܗ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܫܡܥܐ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܘܡܚܙܐ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܥܘܢ
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who
said:
By
hearing you will hear, and will not understand; and by seeing you see, and will
not know
15
ܐܬܥܒܝ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܒܐܕܢܝܗܘܢ ܝܩܝܪܐܝܬ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܨܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ
ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܐܕܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܐܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ
For the heart of this people has grown sluggish, and with their ears they
have scarcely heard, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and should hear with their ears, and should understand with their
heart, and should turn back; and I should heal them
16
ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܘܠܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܢ
. But blest are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they
hear
17
ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘ
ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ
For truly I say to you, That many prophets and
saints longed to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you
hear, and did not hear it
18
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܙܪܥܐ
. But hear the parable of the seed
19
ܟܠ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠ ܒܗ ܐܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܚܛܦ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܙܪܝܥܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܥܠ ܝܕ
ܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܙܕܪܥ
Every one that hears the word of the Realm, and does
not understands it, the evil one comes and steals away the seed sowed in his
heart: this is what was sowed by the side of the path
20
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܐܙܕܪܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܗ
. And that which was sowed on the rock, is he that hears the
message, and
at once receives it with joy
21
ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܥܩܪܐ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܘ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܓܠ ܡܬܟܫܠ
. Yet he who has few roots to him, but lasts for short time, and when there
is trouble or harassment on account of the message, he soon falls
22
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ ܐܙܕܪܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܪܢܝܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܥܘܬܪܐ ܚܢܩܝܢ ܠܗ
ܠܡܠܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܗܘܝܐ
And that which was sowed among thorns, is he that hears the
message; and anxiety of this world and the lure of wealth, choke off the message; and he
is without yield
23
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܙܕܪܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܝ ܘܡܤܬܟܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܐܝܬ ܕܡܐܐ ܘܐܝܬ
ܕܫܬܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ
But that which was sowed on good ground, is he that hears my
message
and understands, bears fruits, and yields, some a hundredfold, some
sixty-fold, and some thirty-fold
24
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܐܡܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܙܪܥ ܙܪܥܐ ܛܒܐ ܒܩܪܝܬܗ
. Another parable he presented to them, and said: The Realm of
Heaven
is like a man who sowed good seed in his field
25
ܘܟܕ ܕܡܟܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܗ ܘܙܪܥ ܙܝܙܢܐ ܒܝܢܬ ܚܛܐ ܘܐܙܠ
. And while people were asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among
the wheat, and went away
26
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܝܥܐ ܥܤܒܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܐܦ ܙܝܙܢܐ
. And when the crop came up and yielded, then appeared also the
weeds
27
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܛܒܐ ܙܪܥܬ ܒܩܪܝܬܟ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ
ܙܝܙܢܐ
And the servants of the householder came, and said
to him, Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where are the
weeds in it
28
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܓܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ
? And he said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to
him, Is it your wish that we go and pull them out
29
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܟܕ ܡܓܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܙܝܙܢܐ ܬܥܩܪܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܐ
. And he said to them, For, while you pull out the weeds, you also
pull up the wheat with them
30
ܫܒܘܩܘ ܪܒܝܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܨܕܐ ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܚܨܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܨܘܕܐ ܓܒܘ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܙܝܙܢܐ
ܘܐܤܘܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܐܤܪܝܬܐ ܕܢܐܩܕܘܢ ܚܛܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܢܫܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܐܘܨܪܝ
Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at the time of
harvest, I will say to the reapers, Collect out the weeds first, and tie them in
bundles to be burned; but the wheat you are gather into my granary
31
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܐܡܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܪܕܠܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܓܒܪܐ ܙܪܥܗ ܒܩܪܝܬܗ
Another parable proposed he to them, and said: The
Realm of Heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed
in his field
32
ܘܗܝ ܙܥܘܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܪܥܘܢܐ ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܒܬ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܪܩܘܢܐ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܐܝܟ
ܕܬܐܬܐ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܬܩܢ ܒܤܘܟܝܗ
And this is the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is
larger than all the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that a bird of the sky may
come and nest in its branches
33
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܚܡܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܩܠܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܛܡܪܬ ܒܬܠܬ ܤܐܝܢ ܕܩܡܚܐ
ܥܕܡܐ ܕܟܠܗ ܚܡܥ
Another parable he presented to them, The Realm of Heaven is like the
leaven, which a woman took and kneaded into three measures of meal, until all of
it
rose
34
ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܦܠܐܬܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܠܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ
. All these things Jesus addressed to the crowd in parables; and
without parables he did not address them
35
ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܝ ܒܡܬܠܐ ܘܐܒܥ ܟܤܝܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ
ܕܥܠܡܐ
So that which was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled,
who said: I will open my mouth in parables; I will tell things hidden from
before the creation of the world
36
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܩ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܦܫܩ ܠܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ
ܕܙܝܙܢܐ ܘܕܩܪܝܬܐ
Then Jesus sent away the crowds, and went into the house. And his
disciples came, and said to him: Explain to us the parable of the weeds and the
field
37
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܙܪܥ ܙܪܥܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
. And he answered, and said to them: He that sows the good seed, is
the Son of God
38
ܘܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܒܐ ܒܢܝܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܙܝܙܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܒܝܫܐ
. And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of
the Realm; but the weeds are the children of the evil One
39
ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܙܪܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܫܘܠܡܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܚܨܘܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ
. The enemy that sowed them, is Satan. The harvest is the end of the
world: and the reapers are the angels
40
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܬܓܒܝܢ ܙܝܙܢܐ ܘܝܩܕܝܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܫܘܠܡܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ
. As therefore the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire; so will
it be in the end of the world
41
ܢܫܕܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܘܢܓܒܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܟܫܘܠܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܥܘܠܐ
; The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out
of his Realm all who draw others to apostasy, and all the evildoers
42
ܘܢܪܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܬܘܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܝܐ ܘܚܘܪܩ ܫܢܐ
. and will throw them into a fiery furnace. There will
be wailing and grinding of teeth
43
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܢܢܗܪܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܒܘܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ
. Then will the saintly shine as the sun, in the Realm of their
Father. He that has ears to hear, let him hear
44
ܬܘܒ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܤܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܛܫܝܐ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܫܟܚܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܛܫܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܚܕܘܬܗ ܐܙܠ
ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܙܒܢܗ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ
Again, the Realm of Heaven is like a treasure that is hid in a
field; which when a man finds it he hides, and, from his joy, he goes and
sells all that he has, and buys that field
45
ܬܘܒ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܬܓܪܐ ܕܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ
: Again, the Realm of Heaven is like a merchant's search for
fine pearls
46
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܟܚ ܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܝܩܝܪܬ ܕܡܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܙܒܢܗ
. and when he found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all
that he had, and bought it
47
ܬܘܒ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܬ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠ ܓܢܤ ܟܢܫܬ
. Again, the Realm of Heaven is like a dragnet, which was cast into
the sea, and collected fish of every kind
48
ܘܟܕ ܡܠܬ ܐܤܩܘܗ ܠܤܦܪܝ ܝܡܐ ܘܝܬܒܘ ܓܒܝܘ ܘܛܒܐ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܒܡܐܢܐ ܘܒܝܫܐ ܫܕܘ ܠܒܪ
And when it was full, they drew it to the shores of the sea; and
they sat down and sorted thru: and the good they put into containers, and the
useless
they threw away
49
ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܫܘܠܡܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܢܦܩܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܢܦܪܫܘܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܙܕܝܩܐ
; So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will go forth, and
will separate the wicked from among the just
50
ܘܢܪܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܬܘܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܝܐ ܘܚܘܪܩ ܫܢܐ
. and will cast them into a fiery furnace. There will be wailing and
grinding of teeth
51
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܤܬܟܠܬܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܢ
. Jesus said to them: Have you
understood all these things? They say to him: Yes, Lord
52
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܟܠ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܡܬܬܠܡܕ ܠܡܠܟܘܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܡܪܐ ܒܝܬܐ
ܕܡܦܩ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܗ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܘܥܬܝܩܬܐ
He said to them: Therefore every scribe who is learned in the
Realm of Heaven, is like a man who is master of a house, who brings forth from
his storeroom both the new and the old
53
ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ
. And it was so, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he
moved on from there
54
ܘܐܬܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܬܗܪܘܢ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ
ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ
And he went into his own town. And he taught them in their
congregations, in such manner that they wondered, and said: Where has he gotten this
wisdom and these miracles
55
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܢܓܪܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܗ ܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܤܐ ܘܫܡܥܘܢ
ܘܝܗܘܕܐ
? Is this man not the carpenter's son ? Is his mother not called Mary,
and his brothers James and Joses and Simon and Judas
56
ܘܐܚܘܬܗ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܠܘܬܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܗ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܗܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ
? And all his sisters, are they not with us ? Where then has this man
gotten all these things
57
ܘܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܨܥܝܪ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ
ܘܒܒܝܬܗ
. And they would not accept him. But Jesus said to them: No
prophet is without honor, except in his own town and in his own house
58 ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܬܡܢ ܚܝܠܐ
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ
. And he did not perform many miracles there, because of their
lack of faith
: And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard about the
reputation of Jesus
2
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܗܢܘ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܝܢ ܒܗ
and he said to his court: This is
John the Baptist: he has risen from the grave: that is why miraculous powers are
at work in him
3
ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܐܚܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܪܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ
. Now this Herod had arrested John, and chained him and put him in
prison; because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip
4
ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ
. For John had said to him: It is unlawful for you to have
her
5
ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܘܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܒܝܐ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
. And he had wanted to kill him; but he was afraid of the people,
seeing as they regarded him as a prophet
6
ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܪܩܕܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ
But during Herod's birthday
festival, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company; and she delighted
Herod
7
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠ
. Therefore he promised her on oath, that he would give her
anything she might ask
8
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܠܦܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܐܡܗ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ
. And she, as she had been prompted by her mother, said:
Give me the head of John the Baptist, here, on a dish
9
ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܤܡܝܟܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ
. And it distressed the king: but because of the oath, and
the company, he ordered it to be given her
10
ܘܫܕܪ ܦܤܩܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ
. And he sent and had John beheaded in the prison
11
ܘܐܝܬܝ ܪܫܗ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܬܗ ܠܐܡܗ
. And the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; and she
took it to her mother
12
ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܩܒܪܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܚܘܝܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ
. And his disciples came and took away the body, and buried it;
and they went off to tell Jesus
13
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ
ܒܝܒܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew by boat to a
deserted place alone. And when the crowds heard of that, they followed him by foot
from the towns
14
ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܝ ܟܪܝܗܝܗܘܢ
. And when Jesus stepped ashore, he saw great crowds; and he had
compassion on them, and healed their sick
15
ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܟܢܫܐ
ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ
And when evening came, his disciples went to him, and said to him:
This is a deserted place, and no time is left; send away the people so they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food
16
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ
. But he said to them: It is not needed for them to go; give them
something to eat yourselves
17
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܬܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܫ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ
. And they said to him: All we have here is only five loaves and two
fish
18
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܗܪܟܐ
. Jesus said to them: Bring them here to me
19
ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܠܡܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ
ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
And he ordered the crowds to sit on the ground: and he took
the five loaves and two fish, and he looked to Heaven, and blessed, and
broke the bread, and gave that to his disciples who gave that to the crowds
20
ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ
. And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the
scraps, twelve baskets full
21
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܠܦܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܛܠܝܐ
. And the men who had eaten were five thousand, along with the women and
children
22
ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܠܨ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܩܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܥܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
. And immediately he made his disciples get into a boat,
and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds
23
ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܟܕ ܚܫܟܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ
. After he had sent the crowds away, he went up a mountain alone
to pray. And evening came, he was there alone
24
ܘܐܠܦܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܬܓܫܐ ܤܓܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܗܘܬ
. And while the boat was far off from land, it was
tossed about by the waves; for the wind was against to it
25
ܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ
. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came toward them, walking
upon the waters
26
ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܗܘܢ ܩܥܘ
. And his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they
were terrified: It is a ghost, they said, and they cried out in
fear
27
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ
. But Jesus at once spoke to them, and said: Be brave !
It is I ! Do not be afraid
28
ܘܥܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܦܩܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ
. Kephas answered, and said to him: Lord, if it be you, have me come
to you across the waters
29
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ
. And Jesus said to him, Come. And Kephas got out of the boat, and
started to walk to Jesus across the water
30
ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܕܚܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܛܒܥ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܩܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ
! But when he felt the force of the wind, he was afraid, and began to
sink. And he raised his voice, and said: Lord, save me
31
ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܐܚܕܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܬܦܠܓܬ
! And at once our Lord reached out his hand, and held him,
and said to him: Man of little faith, why did you doubt
32
ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܐܠܦܐ
ܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ
. And as they got into the boat, the wind died down
33
ܘܐܬܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܦܐ ܤܓܕܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ
! And those in the boat bowed down to him, and said:
Truly you are the Son of God
34
ܘܪܕܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ
. And they rowed on, and came to the land of Gennesaret
35 ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܐ
ܗܘ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ
And when the local people recognized him they spread the
news to all the
villages around them; and they brought all that were very sick to him
36 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܒܘܢ
ܐܦܢ ܠܟܢܦܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܘ ܐܬܐܤܝܘ
. and they begged of him that they might touch just the
fringe
of his cloak. And those who touched it were healed
