¹And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

¹ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܦܪܫ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܀

²then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ ܀

³`Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

³ܙܠܘ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܀

⁴carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁴ܠܐ ܬܫܩܠܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܝܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܢܐ ܘܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܀

⁵and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁵ܘܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

⁶and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

⁶ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܒܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܬܢܝܚ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܀

⁷`And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

⁷ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܟܕ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܀

⁸and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

⁸ܘܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܥܤܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܬܤܝܡ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁹and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

⁹ܘܐܤܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܪܝܗܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁰`And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

¹⁰ܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܀

¹¹And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

¹¹ܘܐܦ ܚܠܐ ܕܕܒܩ ܠܢ ܒܪܓܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܢܦܨܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܡ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹²and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

¹²ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܤܕܘܡ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܀

¹³`Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

¹³ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܟܘܪܙܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܨܘܪ ܘܒܨܝܕܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢ ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܤܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ ܬܒܘ ܀

¹⁴but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

¹⁴ܒܪܡ ܠܨܘܪ ܘܠܨܝܕܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝܢ ܀

¹⁵`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁵ܘܐܢܬܝ ܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܗܝ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܬܪܝܡܬܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܝܘܠ ܬܬܚܬܝܢ ܀

¹⁶`He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.`

¹⁶ܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܫܡܥ ܠܝ ܫܡܥ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܛܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܛܠܡ ܛܠܡ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܀

¹⁷And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;`

¹⁷ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܕܫܕܪ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܦ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܢ ܒܫܡܟ ܀

¹⁸and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

¹⁹lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

¹⁹ܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܫܝܢ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܘܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܗܪܟܘܢ ܀

²⁰but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.`

²⁰ܒܪܡ ܒܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܬܚܕܘܢ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕܘ ܕܫܡܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܟܬܒܘ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

²¹In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²¹ܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܪܘܙ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܒܝ ܡܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܤܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܝܠܘܕܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܒܝ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܀

²²`All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].`

²²ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܐܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܨܒܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܢܓܠܐ ܀

²³And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²³ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܝܢܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܀

²⁴for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.`

²⁴ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܀

²⁵And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?`

²⁵ܘܗܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܚܕ ܩܡ ܕܢܢܤܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܪܬ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

²⁶And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?`

²⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܀

²⁷And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.`

²⁷ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܘܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ ܀

²⁸And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.`

²⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܘܬܚܐ ܀

²⁹And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?`

²⁹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܙܕܩܘ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܘ ܩܪܝܒܝ ܀

³⁰and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.

³⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܘܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܒܗ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܀

³¹`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

³¹ܘܓܕܫ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܗܝ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ ܀

³²and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

³²ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܘܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܛܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ ܀

³³`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

³³ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

³⁴and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

³⁴ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܘܥܨܒ ܡܚܘܬܗ ܘܢܨܠ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܦܘܬܩܐ ܘܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܗ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

³⁵and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

³⁵ܘܠܨܦܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܐܦܩ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܦܘܬܩܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܬܦܩ ܡܐ ܕܗܦܟ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܀

³⁶`Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?`

³⁶ܡܢܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܕܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܢܦܠ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܓܝܤܐ ܀

³⁷and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,` then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.`

³⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕ ܀

³⁸And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

³⁸ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܥܠ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܩܒܠܬܗ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܀

³⁹and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

³⁹ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܬܬ ܝܬܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܫܡܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܀

⁴⁰and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.`

⁴⁰ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܟ ܕܚܬܝ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܠܡܫܡܫܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܥܕܪܐ ܠܝ ܀

⁴¹And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

⁴¹ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܨܦܬܝ ܘܪܗܝܒܬܝ ܥܠ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܀

⁴²but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.`

⁴²ܚܕܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܬܒܥܝܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܓܒܬ ܠܗ ܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ ܀
