And he said to them: Truly I say to you,
There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they shall see
the Realm of God established in power
2 ܘܒܬܪ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܪܡܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ
ܘܐܬܚܠܦ ܠܥܢܝܗܘܢ
. And after six days, Jesus took just Kephas, and James, and John, and led
them away to a high mountain; and was transfigured before them
3 ܘܡܙܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܘܫܗ ܘܡܚܘܪ ܛܒ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܓܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܡܚܘܪܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ
. And his clothes became a very bright white, like snow, so much so as men on
earth are unable to make such white
4 ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܝܐ ܘܡܘܫܐ ܟܕ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ
. And to them there appeared Moses and Elijah, in conversation with
Jesus
5 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܝ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܢ ܕܗܪܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܬܠܬ ܡܛܠܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܡܘܫܐ ܚܕܐ
ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܚܕܐ
And Kephas said to him: Master, it is good
for us to remain here, let us make three booths; one for you, and
one for Moses, and one for Elijah
6 ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ
. But he did not know what he was saing, for they were in awe
7 ܘܗܘܬ ܥܢܢܐ ܘܡܛܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘ
. And there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them. And from the
cloud came a voice, which said: This is my beloved Son. Listen to him
8 ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܪܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ
. And then, when the disciples looked up, they saw no one with
them, except Jesus alone
9 ܘܟܕ ܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܘ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܡܐ ܕܩܡ ܒܪܗ
ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ
. And as they went down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man
what they had seen, until after the Son of Man shall be raised from the dead
10 ܘܐܚܕܘܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
" And they kept these words in their mind; and thought, What do these
words mean: " When he shall be raised from the dead !
11 ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ
? And they asked him, and said: Why then do the scribes
claim that Elijah must come first
12 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܟܠܡܕܡ ܢܬܩܢ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܓܝ ܢܚܫ ܘܢܤܬܠܐ
. He said to them: Elijah will come first, to restore every thing:
and, as it is written of the Son of Man, he will suffer much, and be despised
13 ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܒܗ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܨܒܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ
. But I say to you: That Elijah has come; and they have done to him
all that they wanted, as it was written of him
14 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܟܕ ܕܪܫܝܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ
. And when he came to his disciples, he saw a
great crowd with them, and the scribes debating with them
15 ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܘܬܘܗܘ ܘܪܗܛܘ ܫܐܠܘ ܒܫܠܡܗ
. And immediately the crowd saw him, and were surprised: and they ran
and greeted him
16 ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܤܦܪܐ ܡܢܐ ܕܪܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ
? And he asked the scribes: What were you debating with them
17 ܘܥܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܝܬܝܬ ܒܪܝ ܠܘܬܟ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ
. And one of the crowd replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to
you my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute
18 ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܕܪܟܐ ܠܗ ܚܒܛܐ ܠܗ ܘܡܪܥܬ ܘܡܚܪܩ ܫܢܘܗܝ ܘܝܒܫ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܕܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ
ܐܫܟܚܘ
And wherever he seizes him, he shakes and tears him: and he
gnashes his teeth, and wastes away. And I spoke to your disciples, to cast him
out; and they could not
19 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ
ܐܤܝܒܪܟܘܢ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ ܠܘܬܝ
. Jesus answered, and said to them: O unbelieving lot ! How long
shall I be with you ? how long must I endure you ? Bring him to me
20 ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܚܒܛܬܗ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܬܒܥܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܪܥܬ
. And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him,
he immediately shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and convulsed
21 ܘܫܐܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܟܡܐ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܗ
. And Jesus asked his father, how long a time
he had been so. He said to him: Alas, from childhood
22 ܘܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܐܪܡܝܬܗ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܒܡܝܐ ܕܬܘܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ
And many times it has thrown him into the
fire, and into the water, if to kill him. But, if you can do any thing for us
and have compassion on me
23 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܕܬܗܝܡܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ
. Jesus said to him: If you can believe; every thing can be, to him
that believes
24 ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܩܥܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܛܠܝܐ ܟܕ ܒܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܥܕܪ ܠܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ
. And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and
said: I believe; help but my lack faith
25 ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܪܗܛ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܬܟܢܫ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܐܐ ܒܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܚܪܫܬܐ
ܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܦܘܩܝ ܡܢܗ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܥܠܝܢ ܠܗ
And when Jesus saw that the people were rapidly gathering
around him, he reprimanded the unclean spirit, and said to him: You deaf and
mute spirit, I command you, come out of him; and enter him no more
26 ܘܩܥܐ ܫܐܕܐ ܗܘ ܤܓܝ ܘܫܚܩܗ ܘܢܦܩ ܘܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܡܝܬ ܠܗ
. And the demon shouted out, and convulsed him, and came out. And
he was as a corpse; so that many would say, he is dead
27 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ
. And Jesus took him by the hand, and got him up
28 ܟܕ ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܠܡܦܩܘܬܗ
? And when Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately:
Why could we not cast him out
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܓܢܤܐ ܒܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܦܩ ܐܠܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ
. He said to them: This kind you can drive out by nothing but fasting and
prayer
30 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܒܗ
. And when he left from there, they passed through Galilee: and
he wanted that no one might recognize him
31 ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܡܐ
ܕܐܬܩܛܠ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ
For he taught his disciples, and said to
them: The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put
him to death; and after his death, on the third day, he will rise
32 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܘܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢܝܗܝ
. But they did not understand his words; and they were afraid to ask
him
33 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܘܟܕ ܥܠܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ
? And they came to Capernaum. And when they entered the house, he
asked them: What discussed you among yourselves along the way
34 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܬܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܬܚܪܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܘ ܪܒ ܒܗܘܢ
. And they were silent; for along the way they
had argued with one another, which should be the greater among them
35 ܘܝܬܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܕܟܠ ܐܢܫ
ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܟܠ ܐܢܫ
. And Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever
would be first, let him be last of all, and servant to all
36 ܘܢܤܒ ܛܠܝܐ ܚܕ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܘܫܩܠܗ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
: And he took a child, and set him in their midst, and took him in his
arms and said to them
37 ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܩܒܠ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܛܠܝܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܢ
ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
. Whoever receives one in my name, like this child, he
receives me; and he that receives me, receives not me alone, but him that sent me
38 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܪܒܝ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܒܫܡܟ ܘܟܠܝܢܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܦ ܠܢ
. John said to him: Master, we saw one casting out demons in your
name, and we stopped him, because he does not follow with us
39 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܕܥܒܕ ܚܝܠܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܡܫܟܚ ܥܓܠ ܐܡܪ ܥܠܝ ܕܒܝܫ
. Jesus said to them: Stop him not; for there is no one who does
miracles in my name, who can readily speak evil of me also
40 ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܗܘ
. Whoever is not against you, is for you
41 ܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܫܩܝܟܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܘܒܕ
ܐܓܪܗ
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to
drink, only on the grounds that you are Messiah's followers, truly I say to you,
he will not lose his reward
42 ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܟܫܠ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝ ܦܩܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܘ ܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܚܝܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ
ܒܨܘܪܗ ܘܫܕܐ ܒܝܡܐ
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believes in me
to stumble, it were better for him if a millstone were put to his neck, and he
fell into the sea
43 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܟ ܐܝܕܟ ܦܤܘܩܝܗ ܦܩܚ ܗܘ ܠܟ ܦܫܝܓܐ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܠܚܝܐ ܐܘ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܬܪܬܝܢ
ܐܝܕܝܢ ܬܐܙܠ ܠܓܗܢܐ
; And if your hand makes you offend, cut it off: better for you
to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell
44 ܐܝܟܐ ܕܬܘܠܥܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܘܪܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܕܥܟܐ
. where the worm dies not, and the fire is not extinguished
45 ܘܐܢ ܪܓܠܟ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܟ ܦܤܘܩܝܗ ܦܩܚ ܗܘ ܠܟ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܠܚܝܐ ܚܓܝܤܐ ܐܘ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܪܓܠܝܢ
ܬܦܠ ܒܓܗܢܐ
; And if your foot makes you offend, cut it off: better for you
to enter into life lame, than having two feet, to fall into hell
46
ܐܝܟܐ ܕܬܘܠܥܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܘܪܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܕܥܟܐ
. where the worm dies not, and the fire is not extinguished
47 ܘܐܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܟ ܚܨܝܗ ܦܩܚ ܗܘ ܠܟ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܥܝܢܟ ܬܥܘܠ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ
ܬܪܬܝܢ ܥܝܢܝܢ ܬܦܠ ܒܓܗܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ
And if your eye makes you offend, pluck it out: better for you
to enter with one eye into the Realm of God, than having two eyes, to fall
into the hell of fire
48 ܐܝܟܐ ܕܬܘܠܥܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܘܪܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܕܥܟܐ
. where the worm dies not, and the fire is not extinguished
49 ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܬܡܠܚ ܘܟܠ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܒܡܠܚܐ ܬܬܡܠܚ
. For every thing will be salted with fire; and every sacrifice will
be salted with salt
50 ܫܦܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܚܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܚܐ ܬܦܟܗ ܒܡܢܐ ܬܬܡܠܚ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܠܚܐ ܘܒܫܝܢܐ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ
Salt is a good thing: but if the salt become tasteless, with of what
will it be salted ? Let there be salt in you: and be you in peace, one with
another
And he
left from there, and came to the border of Judaea, on the other side the Jordan. And
great crowds came to him there; and again he instructed them, as he was
accustomed
2 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܫܒܘܩ ܐܢܬܬܗ
. And the Pharisees came to him, and,
testing him, inquired if it were permitted for a man to divorce his wife
3 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܦܩܕܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ
? He said to them: What did Moses command
you
4 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܦܤ ܠܢ ܕܢܟܬܘܒ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܘܢܫܪܐ
. They said: Moses permitted us to write a decree of divorce, and send
her away
5 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩܫܝܘܬ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ
. Jesus answered and said to them: On account of your
stubborn heart, Moses wrote you this commandment
6 ܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܢܩܒܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ
. But, from the beginning, God made them male and female
7 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ
: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
cleave to his wife
8 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ
. and they two shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are not of two, but one
flesh
9 ܡܕܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܙܘܓ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܪܫ
. What therefore God has joined, let not
man separate
10 ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܒ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ
. And in the house, again the disciples asked him of this matter
11 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܓܐܪ
. And he said to them: Whoever shall divorce his wife, and
marries another, commits adultery
12 ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܬܫܪܐ ܒܥܠܗ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܓܝܪܐ
. And if a woman shall leave her husband, and marry another, she
commits adultery
13 ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܐ ܕܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ
. And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them.
But his disciples reprimanded those who brought them
14 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܐܝܠܝܢ
ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
And when Jesus saw it, he was indignant; and he said to them,
Let little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of those like
them is the Realm of God
15 ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܗ
. Truly I say to you, That whoever does not receive the
Realm of
God, like a little child, shall not enter it
16 ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܘܗܝ ܘܤܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܪܟ ܐܢܘܢ
. And he took them in his arms, and laying his hand on them, blessed
them
17 ܘܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܪܗܛ ܚܕ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ
ܕܐܬܪ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ
? And as he walked away, one ran and fell to his knees, and
asked him, and said: Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life
18 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܛܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ
. Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? There is none good, but God
alone
19 ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܗܕ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܛܠܘܡ ܝܩܪ
ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ
You know the commandments; you shall not commit adultery, you shall
not steal, you shall not kill, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not
deceive; honor your father and your mother.
20 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܛܪܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ
. And he answered, and said to him: Teacher, all these have I kept
since my childhood
21 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܪ ܒܗ ܘܐܚܒܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܚܤܝܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܘܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ
ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܤܒ ܨܠܝܒܐ ܘܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
And Jesus looked on him with love, and said to him: One thing
you lack. Go, sell all that you possess, and give to the poor, and there will be
a treasure for you in heaven; and take your cross, and follow me
22 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܟܕ ܥܝܝܩܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܢܟܤܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ
. And he was saddened by those words, and went away with sorrow: for he
had great wealth
23 ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ
ܕܐܠܗܐ
! And Jesus looked upon his disciples, and said to them: How hard for
those who have wealth, to enter into the Realm of God
24 ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܘܥܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܟܡܐ ܥܛܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ
ܕܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܟܤܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
And the disciples were astounded at the remark. And Jesus, replied again,
and said to them: My children, how hard it is, for those who trust in wealth to
enter into the Realm of God
25 ܦܫܝܩ ܗܘ ܠܓܡܠܐ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ ܐܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܥܠ
. It is easier for a rope [made of camel
hair] to enter the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter the Realm of
God
26 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܐ
! And they were astonished even more, and said among themselves: Who can
be saved
27 ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ
ܡܫܟܚܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
. And Jesus looked on them again, and said to them: With men, this is
impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible
28 ܘܫܪܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܒܩܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܢܩܦܢܟ
. And Kephas began to say: We have left every thing to
follow you
29 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܫܒܩ ܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ
ܐܡܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܬܝ
Jesus answered and said: Truly I say to you,
there is no man that
leaves houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children,
for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel
30 ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠ ܚܕ ܒܡܐܐ ܗܫܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܘܐܚܘܬܐ ܘܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܘܩܘܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ
ܘܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ
who will not receive a hundredfold,
houses, and brothers and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands, not
without persecution, now in the present age, and, in the world to come, eternal
life
31 ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ
. But many come first, who will be last; and last, will come first
32 ܟܕ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܬܡܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ
ܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܕܚܝܠܝܢ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ
And as they were on the way to Jerusalem, Jesus walked
ahead of them: and they were awed, and yet afraid. And he
took his twelve, and began to tell them what was to happen to him
33 ܕܗܐ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ
ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܥܡܡܐ
Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be
handed over to the high priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to
die, and will hand him over to the Gentiles
34 ܘܢܒܙܚܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܢܢܓܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܪܩܘܢ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ
. And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit in his
face, and will kill him; and on the third day he will arise
35 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܫܐܠ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܢ
. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, and said to
him: Teacher, we want that you would do for us all what we ask
36 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ
? He said to them: What would you for I to do for you
37 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܒ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܢܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܟ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܟ ܒܫܘܒܚܟ
. They say to him: Grant us, that one may
sit on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your glory
38 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܘܢ ܟܤܐ ܕܐܢܐ
ܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ
But he said to them: You know not what you ask. Are you able to
drink the cup which I am to drink ? and to be baptized with the baptism, that I am
to be baptized with
39 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܤܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܥܡܕܘܢ
They say to him: We are able.
Jesus said to them: The cup that I drink, you will drink, and the baptism that I
am baptized with, you will be baptized with
40 ܕܬܬܒܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܘܡܢ ܤܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܡܬܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ
. But that you should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine
to give, it is for those to whom it is reserved
41 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܥܤܪܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ
. And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant
towards James and John
42 ܘܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ
ܘܪܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
And Jesus called them, and said to them:
You know, that they who are heads of the nations, that lord over men, make their
authority felt
43 ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ
. But it shall not be so among you: but he that would be great among
you, must be a servant to you
44 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ
. And he of you that aspires to be first, must be servant to every one
45 ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܡܫ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܘܕܢܬܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܤܓܝܐܐ
. And also the Son of Man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to
give his life in ransom for many
46 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܗܘ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤ#1811;ܝܐܐ ܛܝܡܝ ܒܪ ܛܝܡܝ

And they came to Jericho. And as Jesus went out of Jericho, he and
his disciples and a great crowd; a blind man, Timeus, the son of Timeus, was
sitting by the side of the way, and begging
47 ܘܫܡܥ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܩܥܐ ܘܠܡܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ
. And he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene; and he began to
call out, and to say: You, Son of David, have pity on me
48 ܘܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܢܫܬܘܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ
. And many reprimanded him, that he might be quiet. But he called out
even more, and said: You, Son of David, have pity on me
49 ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܩܪܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܠܒܒ ܩܘܡ ܩܪܐ ܠܟ
. And Jesus stood, and ordered him to be called over. And they called the
blind man over, and said to him: Be brave: get up, he calls you
50 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܫܕܐ ܠܒܫܗ ܘܩܡ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ
. And the blind man cast aside his cloak and got up, and went to
Jesus
51 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܕܐܚܙܐ
. Jesus said to him: What is that you want I do for you ? And the
blind man said to him: Master, that I may have sight
52 ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܙܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܐܚܝܬܟ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ
. And Jesus said to him: Go; your faith has healed you. And
immediately his sight was restored; and he followed after him
, And as they
approached Jerusalem, by Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount of Olives, he
sent two of his disciples
2 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ
ܕܐܤܝܪ ܕܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܪܟܒܗ ܫܪܘ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ
and said to them: Go you to the village that is over
before us, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no person has rode:
untie it, and bring him here
3 ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܠܗ ܠܟܐ
. And, if any one say to you, Why do you this ? Say you to him:
Because our Master has need of it. And he will soon return it there
4 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܢ ܠܗ
, And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door,
outside in the street. And as they were untying it
5 ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ
? some of those standing there, said to them: For what do you untie the
colt
6 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܒܩܘ ܐܢܘܢ
. And they said to them, as Jesus had told them; and they
allowed them
7 ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܥܝܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܪܟܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ
. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their cloaks upon
him, and set Jesus upon it
8 ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܢܚܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܦܤܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܘܡܫܘܝܢ

. And many spread their cloaks in the way; and others cut branches
from the trees, and laid them in the way
9 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
. And those ahead of him, and those following him shouted and said:
Hosanna: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord
10 ܘܒܪܝܟܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܕܐܒܘܢ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ
. And blessed is the kingdom of our father David to come. Hosanna in
the highest
11 ܘܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܕܢܐ ܕܪܡܫܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܡ

. And Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple, and viewed every
thing. And when evening came, he went out to Bethany with the twelve
12 ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܟܦܢ
: And the following day, as he left Bethany, he felt hungry
13 ܘܚܙܐ ܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܛܪܦܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܢ ܢܫܟܚ ܒܗ ܡܕܡ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ

and he saw a fig tree some distance off, on which were leaves, and he
came to it, if he could find anything on it. And when he reached it, he found on
it only leaves; for it was not the time for figs
14 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܟܝܠ ܘܠܥܠܡ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܝ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
. And he said to it: From here on and forever, let no man eat fruit
from you: and the disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem
15 ܘܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܦܩ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܦܬܘܪܐ

And Jesus entered the temple of God: and he began to evict those
who bought and sold in the temple; and he overturned the counters of the
money brokers, and the seats of those that sold doves
16 ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܥܒܪ ܡܐܢܐ ܒܓܘ ܗܝܟܠܐ
. And he told none of them to carry goods through the temple
17 ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ

And he taught them, and said: Is it not written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer for all peoples ? But you have made it a den of
thieves
18 ܘܫܡܥܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܘܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗ

And the high priests and the scribes heard it, and they sought
how they might do away with him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people
admired his teachings
19 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
. And when evening came, they went
out from the city
20 ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܚܙܘ ܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܟܕ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܩܪܗ
. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried
up, as it were, to its roots
21 ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܗܐ ܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܛܬ ܝܒܫܬ
. And Simon remembered, and said to
him: Master; look, the fig tree which you cursed, is dried up
22 ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
. And in reply, Jesus said to them: Have faith in God
23 ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܩܠ ܘܦܠ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܦܠܓ ܒܠܒܗ ܐܠܐ

Truly I say to you, That whoever shall
say to this mountain, Be removed, and fall into the sea; and has no doubts in
his heart, but shall believe that what he said will happen, to him will be done
what he spoke
24 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܢܤܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ

Therefore I say to you, That whatsoever you shall pray and ask for,
believe that it will be so, and so it will be for you.

. And when you stand up to pray, forgive what you may hold
toward anyone; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you in return
26 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ
. For if you do not forgive, your Father also who is in heaven will not
forgive you in return
27 ܘܐܬܘ ܬܘܒ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ
, And they returned to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the
temple, the high priests and scribes and elders came to him
28 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܢܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܥܒܕ
? and said to him: By what authority do you do these things? And who
gave you the authority to do these things
29 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ
ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
. And Jesus said to them: I also will ask you a question, that you may
tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things
30 ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝ
. The baptism of John, from where was it ? from heaven, or from men ? Tell
me
31 ܘܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܘܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢܝܗܝ
? And they thought to themselves, and said: If we should say to
him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not put faith in him
32 ܘܕܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ

. But if we should say, From men; there is reason to fear the people; for
they have all held John to be truly a prophet
33 ܘܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ
ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
. And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to
them: Then neither will I tell you by what authority I do the things I do
And he began
to address them again in parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and
enclosed it with a hedge, and dug out a wine vat, and built a tower there, and
leased it to the hands of tenant farmers, and went on a journey
2 ܘܫܕܪ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܚܐ ܥܒܕܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ ܢܤܒ
.And in due time, he sent his servant to
the tenant farmers, to receive his share from the vineyard
3 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܦܝܩ
. And they beat him, and sent him away
without
4 ܘܫܕܪ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܪܓܡܘܗܝ ܘܨܠܦܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܒܨܥܪܐ
. And again he sent to them another servant; and they stoned
him also, and wounded him, and sent him away shamefully
5 ܘܫܕܪ ܬܘܒ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܚܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܛܠܘ
. And again he sent another; and they killed him. And he sent other servants,
many of whom they beat, and some they killed
6 ܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܒܪܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܒܪ ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܪܝ
. At last, having no one but his dear son,
he sent him to them ; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son
7 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܬܘ ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ
. But those tenant farmers said among themselves: This is the heir;
then, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours
8 ܘܢܤܒܘ ܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܪܡܐ
. And they took him, and killed him, and dragged him outside of the
vineyard
9 ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܘܢܬܠܝܘܗܝ ܟܪܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ
. What therefore will the master of the vineyard do ? He will come and
destroy those tenant farmers, and turn over the vineyard to others
10 ܘܐܦܠܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܪܫܐ ܕܙܘܝܬܐ
: And have you not read this scripture, The
stone which the builders rejected, has become the keystone of the corner
11 ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐ ܒܥܝܢܝܢ
? For it was the Lord who did this; and it is not wonderful
to behold
12 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܐܚܕܗ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ
And they sought to arrest him, but had fear of the people; for
they knew that he spoke this parable about them. And they left him and went
off
13 ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܢܨܘܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܡܠܬܐ
. And they sent to him some of the scribes
and of the household of Herod, to entrap him in sermon
14 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܩܝܠ ܐܢܬ ܨܦܬܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ

ܐܘ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܐܘ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ
And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that you are
truthful, and have no fear of man; for you regard not the opinions of men, but
teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to give tribute tax to Caesar; or not ? Shall we give it, or not give
15 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܢܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܝܬܘ ܠܝ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܐܚܙܐ
. And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why test you me ? Bring
me a denarius, that I may see it
16 ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܢܘ ܨܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܤܪ
. And they brought him one. And he said to them: Whose is this
image and inscription ? They said to him: Caesar's
17 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܩܤܪ ܗܒܘ ܠܩܤܪ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܬܡܗܘ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ
. Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give unto Caesar; and what is
God's, give unto to God. And they were in awe of him
18 ܘܐܬܘ ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ
: Then came to him Sadducees, who hold that there is no resurrection;
and they asked him, and said
19 ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܬܒ ܠܢ ܕܐܢ ܡܐܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܢܤܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ
ܘܢܩܝܡ ܙܪܥܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ
Teacher ; Moses wrote to us, that if a
man's brother die, and leaves a widow, but leaves no children, his brother shall
take his widow, and she raise up the line of this brother
20 ܫܒܥܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܙܪܥܐ
. There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and
left no line
21 ܘܕܬܪܝܢ ܢܤܒܗ ܘܡܝܬ ܟܕ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܫܒܩ ܙܪܥܐ ܘܕܬܠܬܐ ܗܟܘܬ
. And the second took her, and died, and he also left no
line: and the third in like manner
22 ܘܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܢܤܒܘܗ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܙܪܥܐ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ
. And the seven took her, and left no line. Lastly, the woman
also died
23 ܒܩܝܡܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒܘܗ
. In the resurrection, therefore, of which one will she be the
wife ? For all the seven married her
24 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
? Jesus said to them: Is it on this account that you are
misled, because you understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God
25 ܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܡܘ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܐܟܐ

. For when they rise from the dead, they neither take wives, nor are
wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven
26 ܥܠ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܢ ܤܢܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ
ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ
But as for the dead, that they rise, have you not read in
the book of Moses, in that about the bush, how God said: I am the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob
27 ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܤܓܝ ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
. He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You, therefore,
are greatly misled
28 ܘܩܪܒ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܪܫܝܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܝܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܐܝܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ

And one of the scribes came, and heard them as they
argued, and he saw how skillfully he answered them; and he asked him, Which is the
first of all the commandments
29 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܕܡܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܕ ܗܘ
: Jesus said to him: The first of all the

30 ܘܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܟ ܗܢܘ

and you shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your might. This is the
first commandment
31 ܘܕܬܪܝܢ ܕܕܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܬܚܒ ܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܝܬ
. And this is the second: You shall love your
neighbor, as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these
32 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܪܒܝ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܗ
. The scribe said to him: Excellent ! Master; you have spoken the
truth; for he is the One, and there is no other beside him
33 ܘܕܢܪܚܡܝܘܗܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܕܢܪܚܡ
ܩܪܝܒܗ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܩܕܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ
And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the
mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor,
as himself; is better than any burnt offering or sacrifice
34 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܕܚܟܝܡܐܝܬ ܡܦܢܐ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪܚ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ
And Jesus approved that he replied insightfully; and he answered, and
said to him: You are not far from the Realm of God. And no one had courage again to
question him
35 ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܕܘܝܕ
? And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How
can the scribes say, that the Messiah is David's son
36 ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ
ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܟܘܒܫܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ
For David himself said, by the Holy
Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Sit at my right hand, until I make your
enemies a footstool beneath you
37 ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܤܝܡܐܝܬ
David therefore called him " My Lord "
and now, how can he be his son ? And all the crowd heard him with delight
38 ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܛܠܐ ܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ
, And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the
scribes, who parade in long robes, and accept the greetings of respect in the streets
39 ܘܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܒܚܫܡܝܬܐ
. and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best seats at
banquets
40 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܟܝܢ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ
. They devour the savings of widows, and they prolong
their prayers for appearances. These will receive a severe condemnation
41 ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܚܐܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܥܘܪܦܢܐ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ
ܥܬܝܪܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝ
. And as Jesus sat across from the treasury-room, he saw how the
crowd cast coins into the treasury. And many wealthy ones cast in many
42 ܘܐܬܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܫܡܘܢܐ
. And a poor widow came, and cast in two copper coins, which are
worth nearly nothing
43 ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ
. And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Truly I say to
you, That this poor widow has cast into the treasury more than all they did
44 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܗ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
ܐܪܡܝܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܗ
. For they all cast in from surplus of their wealth, but she
in her poverty, cast in all that she had, the whole of her property.
