. And he came
to the other shore of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes
2 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ
. And as he went out of the boat, there met him a man
from the tombs, in whom was an unclean spirit
3 ܘܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܤܪܗ
: And he lived in the place of tombs; and no one could
restrain him with chains
4 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܒܤܘܛܡܐ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܡܬܐܤܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܫܠܬܐ ܡܬܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܤܘܛܡܐ ܡܦܤܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ
ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܟܒܫܗ
because, as often as he had been bound with restraints and chains,
he had broken the chains and broke the restraints: and no one could tame him
5 ܘܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܛܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܨܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܟܐܦܐ
. And constantly, by night and day, amid the tombs,
he screamed and gashed himself with stones
6 ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܪܗܛ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ
; And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran up and did
homage him
7 ܘܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܐ ܠܝ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܢܩܢܝ
and shrieked with a loud voice, and said: What have you to do with
me, Jesus, you Son of the High God ? I implore you by God, that you not torment me
8 ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܐ
. For he had said to him: Unclean spirit, come out of the man
9 ܘܫܐܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܫܡܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ ܫܡܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܚܢܢ
. And he asked him: What is your name? And he answered him:
Our name is Legion; for we are many
10 ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܤܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ
. And he pleaded earnestly with him, that he would not send him
away from that
country
11 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܒܩܪܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ
. And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of pigs grazing
12 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܕܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܥܘܠ
. And the demons pleaded with him, and said: Send us upon those
pigs, that we may enter them
13 ܘܐܦܤ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܩ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܚܙܝܪܐ ܘܪܗܛܬ ܗܝ ܒܩܪܐ ܠܫܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܦܠܬ ܒܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ
ܬܪܝܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܘܐܬܚܢܩܘ ܒܡܝܐ
And he allowed them to. And those unclean spirits went out, and
entered the pigs: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a cliff, and
fell into the sea, and were drown in the waters
14 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܪܩܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ
. And they who tended them, fled and spoke of it in the town and in the
villages: and they came out to see what had happened
15 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܠܒܝܫ ܘܡܢܟܦ ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ
ܘܕܚܠܘ
And they came to Jesus, and saw him who had been
possessed, in who had been the legion, clothed, and sane, and sitting, and they became
afraid
16 ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ
. And those who had seen it told them what happened to the
one who had the demons, and also concerning the pigs
17 ܘܫܪܝܘ ܒܥܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܗܘܢ
. And they began to beg him, that he would go from their
district
18 ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܕܥܡܗ ܢܗܘܐ
. And as he boarded the boat, the man who had demons asked that he
might proceed with him
19 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܠܘܬ ܐܢܫܝܟ ܘܐܫܬܥܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܐܬܪܚܡ
ܥܠܝܟ
. And he granted him not, but said to him: Go home to your people,
and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion you
20 ܘܐܙܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܟܪܙ ܒܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ
. And he went, and began to proclaim in Decapolis, what Jesus had done
for him. And they were all amazed
21 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܪܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ
. And when Jesus had crossed by boat to the other side, great crowds
again gathered about him as he was on the shore of the water
22 ܘܐܬܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܐܪܫ ܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܢܦܠ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ
And one of the heads of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came,
and, on seeing him, fell at his feet,
23 ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܤܓܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܐ ܬܐ ܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܬܬܚܠܡ ܘܬܚܐ
. and pleaded earnestly with him, and said to him: My daughter is very sick;
but come and lay your hand on her, and she will be cured, and will live
24 ܘܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܕܒܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܚܒܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
. And Jesus went with him; and a large crowd followed him, and
pressed all around him
25 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܪܕܝܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ
, And a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years
26 ܐܝܕܐ ܕܤܓܝ ܤܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܤܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܦܩܬ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܥܕܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ

and who had suffered much from many physicians, and had
spent all she had, and benefited not, but was even more afflicted
27 ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܬ ܒܚܒܨܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܠܒܘܫܗ
when she heard of Jesus, came behind him
in the push of the crowd, and touched his cloak
28 ܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦܢ ܠܠܒܘܫܗ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܐ
. For she said: If I just touch his
clothes, I shall live
29 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܝܒܫܬ ܡܥܝܢܐ ܕܕܡܗ ܘܐܪܓܫܬ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܕܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܗ
. And immediately the flow of her blood
dried up; and she felt in her body that she was cured of her plague
30 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܕܐ ܝܕܥ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܩܪܒ ܠܡܐܢܝ
? And Jesus at once knew in himself, that healing power had
left from him, and he turned to the crowd, and said: Who touched my clothes
31 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܚܒܨܝܢ ܠܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܘ ܩܪܒ ܠܝ
? And his disciples said to him: You see the crowd that
pushes in on you; and you say, Who touched me
32 ܘܚܐܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ
. And he looked all around to see who had
done this
33 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܕ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܪܬܝܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬ ܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ
ܫܪܪܐ
And the woman, fearful and trembling, for she realized what had taken
place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth
34 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܝ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܟܝ
. And he said to her: My daughter, your faith has cured you: go
in peace; and be freed of your illness
35 ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܒܪܬܟ ܡܝܬܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܥܡܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܠܦܢܐ
? And while he was speaking, some of the house of the head
of the synagogue came, and said: Your daughter is dead: why trouble the teacher
36 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܗܝܡܢ
. But Jesus heard the words they spoke, and said to the head of the
synagogue: Do not fear; only believe
37 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܠܐܢܫ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܐܠܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ
. And he asked that no one to go with him, except Simon Kephas, and
James, and John the brother of James
38 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܪܗܝܒܝܢ ܘܒܟܝܢ ܘܡܝܠܠܝܢ
And they came to the house of the head of the synagogue; and he
saw, that they were in a tumult, and weeping, and wailing.
39 ܘܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܪܗܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܒܟܝܢ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܟܐ ܗܝ
And he entered in and said to them: Why do you make a
commotion, and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep
40 ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܐܒܘܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ
ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ
At this they laughed at him. But Jesus put them all out. And he took the
girl's father, and her mother, and his companions, and entered into where the child lay
41 ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ
. And he took the child's hand, and said to her: Little girl,
get up
42 ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܬ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ
ܕܘܡܪܐ ܪܒܐ
And immediately the child got up, and walked; for
she was twelve years old. And they were astonished beyond belief
43 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܥܤ
. And he enjoined them strictly, that no one should know of it.
And he ordered that they should give her something to eat
. And Jesus departed from there and came
to his own town, and his disciples followed him
2 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܬ ܫܒܬܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ
ܠܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܗ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܢܗܘܘܢ
And when the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And
many who heard him were astonished, and said: Where did he get all this ? And what
kind of wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such miracles are done by his hands
3 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܓܪܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܕܝܘܤܐ ܘܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܚܘܬܗ

? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James
and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon ? And are not his sisters here with us
And they were confounded by him.
4 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܨܥܝܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܚܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܒܝܬܗ
. And Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is without honor, except in
his own town, and among his relatives, and at home
5 ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܬܡܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܕܥܠ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܤܝ
. And he could not there do even one
miracle, apart from a few sick when he laid his hand on them, and healed them
6 ܘܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ
. And he worried at the lack of their faith. And he traveled about
the villages and taught
7 ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ
. And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, in
pairs;
and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to expel them
8 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܫܐ
ܒܟܝܤܝܗܘܢ
And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a
staff only; neither a satchel, nor bread, nor coin in their purses
9 ܐܠܐ ܢܤܐܢܘܢ ܛܠܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܠܒܫܘܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ
. but to wear sandals, and not bring two coats
10 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ
. And he said to them: Into whatever house you enter,
stay there until you leave the place
11 ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܦܨܘ ܚܠܐ ܕܒܬܚܬܝܐ

And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out from
that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony towards them.
Truly I say to you, There will be relief for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of
judgment rather than to be that town
12 ܘܢܦܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܟܪܙܘ ܕܢܬܘܒܘܢ
. And they went out and proclaimed the need of repentance
13 ܘܫܐܕܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
. And they expelled many demons, and many of the sick they anointed
with oil, and cured them
14 ܘܫܡܥ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ
ܡܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܝܢ ܒܗ
And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to
him, and he said: John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that
is why miraculous works are done by him
15 ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܟ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
. Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet
equal to any one of the prophets
16 ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܦܤܩܬ ܪܫܗ ܗܘ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
. But when Herod heard of him, he said: He is that John who
I beheaded: he has risen from the dead
17 ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܕܗ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܪܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ
ܐܚܘܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܢܤܒ
For Herod had sent and arrested John and threw him in prison, on
account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken
18 ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܟ ܕܬܤܒ ܐܢܬܬ ܐܚܘܟ
. For John had said to Herod: It is not permitted for you to take your
brother's wife
19 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܠܚܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܘܬ
. And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him,
but was unable
20 ܗܪܘܕܤ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܘܒܤܝܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
For Herod was afraid of John,
knowing him to be a just and holy man: and he watched him, and listened to him in many things and did thus, and he heard him with
interest
21 ܘܗܘܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܒܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܗ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܪܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܝܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܠܪܫܐ
ܕܓܠܝܠܐ
And there was a special day, when Herod made a
banquet, in his own house, for his nobles and the officers and the heads of Galilee
22 ܘܥܠܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܪܩܕܬ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ
ܫܐܠܝ ܡܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ
And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased
Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maiden: Ask of me
what you please, and I will give it you
23 ܘܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܦܠܓܗ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܝ
. And he swore to her: Whatever you should
ask, I will give you, even to half my kingdom
24 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܩܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ
And she went out, and said to her
mother: What should I ask him for ? She said to her: The head of John the Baptist
25 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܥܠܬ ܒܒܛܝܠܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܬܬܠ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܦܝܢܟܐ ܪܫܗ
ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ
And she soon hurried back to the king, and said: I
desire that you, this moment, give me on a platter, the head of John the Baptist
26 ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܓܠܙܝܗ
, And the king bitterly regretted the request, but due to the oath, and on
account of the guests, he would not deny her
27 ܐܠܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܤܦܘܩܠܛܪܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܦܤܩܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ
ܐܤܝܪܐ
and the king immediately sent an executioner, and ordered
to him to bring the head of John. And he went, and beheaded John in the
prison
28 ܘܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܗܝ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܐܡܗ
. and brought it on a platter, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave
it to her mother
29 ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܘ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܘܤܡܘ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ
. And his disciples heard; they came and took away the body and laid it in a Tomb
30 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܘܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܠܦܘ
. And the Apostles gathered before Jesus,
and reported all they had done, and all they had taught
31 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܕܒܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܢ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚܘ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ
ܘܐܬܝܢ ܘܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ
And he said to them: Come, let us go by
ourselves into a desert and rest a some. For there were many coming and going,
and they had not time to even to eat bread
32 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ
. And they went by boat to a deserted place by themselves
33 ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܒܝܒܫܐ ܪܗܛܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ

. But many saw them as they departed, and knew of it; and from all
the towns, they ran there by land before him
34 ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܪܒܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ
ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ
And Jesus disembarked and saw great crowds: and he pitied
them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach
them many things
35 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܤܓܝ
. And when the time was getting late, his disciples came to him, and said
to him: This is a deserted place, and the time is getting late
36 ܫܪܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܐܓܘܪܤܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ܘܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ

. Dismiss them, that they may go into the fields around us and into
the villages, and may buy themselves something to eat
37 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܠܥܤ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܙܒܢ ܕܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ
ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܤܝܢ
? And he said to them: You give them something to eat. They say to him: Should we
go and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and give them that to eat
38 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ
ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ
. And he said to them: Go and see how many loaves you have here. And
when they had, they said to him: Five loaves and two fish
39 ܘܦܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܤܡܟܘܢ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܥܠ ܥܤܒܐ
. And he told them make the people sit on the grass by groups
40 ܘܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܤܡܟܝܢ ܕܡܐܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܕܚܡܫܝܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ
. And they sat by groups of a hundred, and of fifty
41 ܘܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܦܠܓܘ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ
And he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked towards
heaven, and blessed and broke the bread, and gave to his disciples to put before
them: and they divided the two fish among them all
42 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ
. And they all ate, and were filled
43 ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ
. And they took up twelve baskets full of the scraps and of the
fish
44 ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ
. And those who had eaten bread were five thousand men
45 ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܠܨ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܩܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܥܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘ
ܠܟܢܫܐ
. And he immediately insisted his disciples go by boat
before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowds
46 ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ
. And when he had taken leave of them, he went to a mountain to pray
47 ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܡܨܥܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ
. And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the
lake, and him alone on land
48 ܘܚܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܫܬܢܩܝܢ ܟܕ ܪܕܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܩܒܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܘܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ
ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ
And he saw them straining themselves rowing; for the wind was
against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking
on the water; and he came to walk by them
49 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܤܒܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܩܥܘ
. And they saw him walking on the water, and they
thought that he was a ghost: and they cried out
50 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ
For they all saw him and were afraid. And he
hastened to speak to them, and said to them: Be brave; it is I; do not
fear
51 ܘܤܠܩ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܛܒ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܬܗܝܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ
. And he got into the boat with them; and the wind died down. And
they were truly awed and astonished among themselves
52 ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܡܥܒܝ ܗܘܐ
. For they had not understood about the bread; because they
had closed minds
53 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪܘ ܥܒܪܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ
. And when they had made the other shore, they came to the land
of Gennesaret
54 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܤܬܟܠܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ
. And when they got out of the ship, immediately the men of the
place recognized him
55 ܘܪܗܛܘ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܥܪܤܬܐ
ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܗ#1816;ܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ
And they ran throughout that region, and began to bring
to them that were sick, carrying them on beds to where they heard he was
56 ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܐܦܢ ܠܟܢܦܐ
ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And wherever he entered into villages or towns, the sick were
put in the streets, and begged that they might touch just the tassel of his cloak. And all they that touched him were cured
. And there
gathered near him Pharisees and scribes who had come from Jerusalem
2 ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܕܠܘ
. And they saw some of his disciples eating bread with
unwashed hands; and they questioned it
3 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܝܕܝܢ
ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ
For all the Jews and the Pharisees, do not eat unless they carefully wash
their hands; because they hold fast to the custom of their ancestors
4 ܘܡܢ ܫܘܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܕܢܛܪܘܢ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ
ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܥܪܤܬܐ
And from the marketplace, they do not eat without
washing their hands to the wrist. And there are many other things which they have custom
to observe, as the ablution of cups, and of pots, and of brass vessels, and of
seats
5 ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ
ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ
? And the scribes and Pharisees asked him: Why do your disciples
not walk in the way of the custom of the ancestors, but eat bread with unwashed hands
6 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ
ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ
And he said to them: How well Isaiah prophesied about
you hypocrites; as it is written: This people honors me with its lips, but
their heart is far from me
7 ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
. And empty is their reverence, while teaching as doctrines
merely the regulations of men
8 ܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ
ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢ
For you disregard the commandment of God, and hold fast the
tradition of men, the ablution of cups, and of pots, and many things like
these
9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ
! He said to them: You make an art of
setting aside the precept of God, so that you may keep your tradition
10 ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܡܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܬ
. For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and whoever shall
curse his father or his mother, shall be put to death
11 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢܝ ܬܐܬܪ
: But you say: If a man says to his father or to his mother, Be it my
obligation whatever you may be given from me
12 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ
. then you ask him not to do any thing more for his father or his
mother
13 ܘܡܤܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܫܠܡܬܘܢ ܘܕܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
. And you reject the word of God, on account of the custom which
you hand down. And many things like these you do
14 ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ
. And Jesus called all the crowd, and said to them: Hear me, all
of you; and try to understand
15 ܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܗ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ
ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ
. There is nothing outside a man which by entering him, can pollute him. But that which comes out of him, that it is that pollutes a man
16 ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ
. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear
17 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ
. And when Jesus had entered the house,
away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about this parable
18 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܛܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܪ ܥܐܠ ܠܒܪ
ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ
? And he said to them: Are you likewise unable discern ? Do
you not know, that whatever from outside enters into a man cannot make him
impure
19 ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܠܒܗ ܥܐܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܤܗ ܘܡܫܬܕܐ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܟܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ
. For it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and is
rendered to be carried off of all that is eaten
20 ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ
. But that which becomes from a man, that defiles a man
21 ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܩܛܠܐ
, For from within, from the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adultery, fornication
22 ܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܨܚܢܘܬܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܘܬܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ
. theft, murder, avarice, malice, deceit, lust, envy,
blasphemy, arrogance, an obtuse spirit
23 ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ
. All these evils come from within, and defile a man
24 ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܒܗ
ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܛܫܐ
Then Jesus got up, and went to the border of Tyre and Sidon.
And he entered a house, and wanted none to recognize him; but he could not
escape notice
25 ܡܚܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܒܪܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ
, Soon a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard
of him; and she came, and fell before his feet
26 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܚܢܦܬܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܗ
. The woman was a Gentile from Phenicia of Syria), and begged him
to expel the demon from her daughter
27 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܢܤܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܪܡܐ
ܠܟܠܒܐ
. Jesus said to her: Allow the children first to be filled; for
it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs
28 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ
. And she replied, and said to him:
Please, my Lord: even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܟܝ
. Jesus said to her: Go ! for such a reply, the demon has
left from your daughter
30 ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܟܕ ܪܡܝܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܢܦܝܩ ܡܢܗ ܫܐܕܗ
. And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on a bed,
and the demon gone of her
31 ܬܘܒ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
. Again Jesus left from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to
the sea of Galilee, to the border of Decapolis
32 ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܚܕ ܦܐܩܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ
. And they brought to him a deaf and stammering man, and begged him
to lay his hand on him
33 ܘܢܓܕܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܨܒܥܬܗ ܒܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܪܩ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܠܫܢܗ
, And he led him away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears,
and touched his tongue, and spit
34 ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܦܬܚ
. and looked towards heaven, and groaned, and said to him: Be opened
35 ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܬܪܝ ܐܤܪܐ ܕܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ
. And immediately his ears were opened,
and his tongue was freed, and he spoke plainly
36 ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܙܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ
. And he ordered them to tell no man of
it: and the more he ordered them, the more they proclaimed it
37 ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܠܚܪܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ
ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ
. And they admired him beyond bounds, and
said: He does every thing well: he makes the deaf hear, and the mute talk
: And about that time, when the crowd was
large, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them
2 ܡܬܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ
. I pity this crowd; for three days they have been with
with me, and they have nothing to eat
3 ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܠܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܥܝܦܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ
ܐܬܝܐܝܢ
. And if I send them to their homes hungry, they will faint by the
way. Some of them have come from a great distance
4 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܫ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܕܢܤܒܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ
? His disciples say to him: Where, here in the desert, can one
satisfy all these with bread
5 ܘܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ
. And he asked them: How many loaves do you have ? They say to him,
Seven
6 ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܤܒ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܘܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ
And he ordered the crowds to sit on the ground: and he took the
seven loaves, blessed and broke them, and gave to his disciples to hand out;
and they handed them out to the crowds
7 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܢܘܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܪܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
. And there were a few fish; and he
also blessed them, and ordered them handed out
8 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ
. And they ate, and were filled: and they took up seven baskets of
the remaining scraps
9 ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ
. And the men who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent
them away
10 ܘܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܡܚܕܐ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܕܠܡܢܘܬܐ
. And thereon he entered a boat, with his disciples, and came to
the place Dalmanutha
11 ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܥܡܗ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ
. And the Pharisees came out, and began to debate with him; and, to
test him, they demanded of him a sign from heaven
12 ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ
ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ
And he breathed a sigh, and said: Why does this generation
look for a sign ? Truly I say to you, No sign will be given to this
generation
13 ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܪܐ
. And he left them, and left in the boat; and they passed to the
other shore
14 ܘܛܥܘ ܕܢܤܒܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܐܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܓܪܝܨܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ
. And they had forgot to take the bread with them, and had but a
single loaf in the ship with them
15 ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ
. And he ordered them, and said to them: Take heed, and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod
16 ܘܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ
? And they thought to one another, and
said: Is it because we have no bread
17 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
ܘܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܠܒܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
And Jesus knew it, and said to them: Why
do you suppose you have no bread ? Do you still not know, nor understand? How
long will you be so stubborn
18 ܘܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܕܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
? and you have eyes, but see not ? and have ears, but hear not, nor
understand
19 ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܩܨܝܬ ܠܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ
ܬܪܥܤܪ
. When I broke the five loaves to five
thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you take up ? They say to him:
Twelve
20 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܟܡܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ
. He said to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many
baskets full of scraps did you take up ? They say: Seven
21 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܘ ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
? He said to them: Why is it that, up to this time, you do not
comprehend
22 ܘܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗ
. And he came to Bethsaida : and they
brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him
23 ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܦܩܗ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܪܩ ܒܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܕܡܢܐ ܚܙܐ
. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the
village, and laid on his hand and spit on his eyes: and asked him what he saw
24 ܚܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ
. And he looked, and said: I see men like trees which walk
25 ܬܘܒ ܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܬܩܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܗܝܪܐܝܬ
. Again he laid his hand on his eyes, and he was restored, and saw
every thing clearly
26 ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܬܥܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܫ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ
. And he sent him to his house, and said to him: Do not enter into the village, nor tell any person in the village
27 ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܩܤܪܝܐ ܕܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ
ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ
? And Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea
Philippi. And he asked his disciples of them along the way: Who do men
say that I am
28 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
And they said to him: That you are John
the Baptist; and others: That you are Elijah; and others: That you are one of
the prophets
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ
ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ
Jesus said to them: And who do
you yourselves say I am ? Simon replied, and said to him: You are the
Messiah, the Son of the Living God
30 ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ
. And he ordered them that they should say this of him to no
person
31 ܘܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܚܫ ܤܓܝ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ
ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܬܩܛܠ ܘܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܢܩܘܡ
And he began to teach them, that the Son of Man had to suffer
much, and be rejected by the elders and by the high priests and by the
scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day
32 ܘܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܕܒܪܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܟܐܐ ܒܗ
. And he spoke out about it openly. And Kephas took him, and
began to remonstrate him
33 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܚܪ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܒܤܬܪܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܢܐ ܐܢܬ
ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
But he turned, and looked upon his
disciples, and reprimanded Simon, and said: Get you behind me, Satan: for you do
not judge what is of God, but what is of men
34 ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ
ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
And Jesus called the crowd, together with his disciples, and said to
them: Whoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me
35 ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܬܝ ܢܚܝܗ
. For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will
lose his life on my account, and on account of the gospel, shall save it
36 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܐܬܪ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܤܪ
? For what will profit a man if he gains the whole world, and
loses his life
37 ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܬܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܬܚܠܘܦܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ
? Or what will a man offer in exchange for his life
38 ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ ܘܒܡܠܝ ܒܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܒܗܬ ܒܗ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ
ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ
For if any shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this
faithless
and corrupt generation, also will the Son of Man be ashamed of him, when he
comes in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels
