¹And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.`

¹ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܠܦ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

²And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ ܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܀

³our appointed bread be giving us daily;

³ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܤܘܢܩܢܢ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܀

⁴and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.`

⁴ܘܫܒܘܩ ܠܢ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢ ܠܟܠ ܕܚܝܒܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܥܠܢ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܦܪܘܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܀

⁵And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܢܐܙܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܒܦܠܓܘܬ ܠܠܝܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܚܡܝ ܐܫܐܠܝܢܝ ܬܠܬ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܀

⁶seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,

⁶ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܠܗ ܀

⁷and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

⁷ܘܗܘ ܪܚܡܗ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܢܥܢܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܗܪܝܢܝ ܕܗܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܗܘ ܘܒܢܝ ܥܡܝ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܩܘܡ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟ ܀

⁸`I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

⁸ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܡܛܠ ܪܚܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܚܨܝܦܘܬܗ ܢܩܘܡ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܟܡܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܀

⁹and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

⁹ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܐܠܘ ܘܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܘܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܩܘܫܘ ܘܢܬܦܬܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁰for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

¹⁰ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܐܠ ܢܤܒ ܘܕܒܥܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܘܕܢܩܫ ܡܬܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܀

¹¹`And of which of you — the father — if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?

¹¹ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܒܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܒܪܗ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܡܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܘܢܐ ܚܘܝܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܀

¹²and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?

¹²ܘܐܢ ܒܪܬܐ ܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܀

¹³If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!`

¹³ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܐܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁴And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܪܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܠܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܫܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁵and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;`

¹⁵ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܡܦܩ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

¹⁶and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

¹⁶ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁷And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;

¹⁷ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܕܬܬܦܠܓ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܬܚܪܒ ܘܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܩܢܘܡܗ ܡܬܦܠܓ ܢܦܠ ܀ ܀

¹⁸and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.

¹⁸ܘܐܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

¹⁹`But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons — your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;

¹⁹ܘܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܀

²⁰but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

²⁰ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܨܒܥܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²¹`When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;

²¹ܐܡܬܝ ܕܚܤܝܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܙܝܢ ܢܛܪ ܕܪܬܗ ܒܫܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܩܢܝܢܗ ܀

²²but when the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

²²ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܤܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܢܙܟܝܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܙܝܢܗ ܫܩܠ ܗܘ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܙܬܗ ܡܦܠܓ ܀

²³he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.

²³ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܢܫ ܥܡܝ ܡܒܕܪܘ ܡܒܕܪ ܀

²⁴`When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;

²⁴ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܡܬܟܪܟܐ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܢܝܚܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܒܝܬܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܀

²⁵and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned;

²⁵ܘܐܢ ܐܬܬ ܐܫܟܚܬܗ ܕܚܡܝܡ ܘܡܨܒܬ ܀

²⁶then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.`

²⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܢ ܡܢܗ ܘܥܐܠܢ ܘܥܡܪܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܗ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܗ ܀

²⁷And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!`

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܪܝܡܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܩܠܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܗ ܠܟܪܤܐ ܕܛܥܢܬܟ ܘܠܬܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܢܩܘܟ ܀

²⁸And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!`

²⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

²⁹And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,

²⁹ܘܟܕ ܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

³⁰for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

³⁰ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܐ ܝܘܢܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

³¹`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here!

³¹ܡܠܟܬܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܬܚܝܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܥܒܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܀

³²`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!

³²ܓܒܪܐ ܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܗ ܕܬܒܘ ܒܟܪܘܙܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܀

³³`And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

³³ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܪ ܫܪܓܐ ܘܤܐܡ ܠܗ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܐܘ ܬܚܝܬ ܤܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܡܢܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܀

³⁴`The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

³⁴ܫܪܓܗ ܕܦܓܪܟ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܝܢܟ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܥܝܢܟ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܐܦ ܟܠܗ ܦܓܪܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܗܝܪ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܦܓܪܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟ ܀

³⁵take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be darkness;

³⁵ܐܙܕܗܪ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܟ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁶if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.`

³⁶ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܓܪܟ ܟܠܗ ܢܗܝܪ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܡܢܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܪ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܪܓܐ ܒܕܠܩܗ ܡܢܗܪ ܠܟ ܀

³⁷And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

³⁷ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܚܕ ܕܢܫܬܪܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܥܠ ܐܤܬܡܟ ܀

³⁸and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

³⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܥܡܕ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܪܘܬܗ ܀

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

³⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܫܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܦܝܢܟܐ ܡܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܓܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܚܛܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܝܫܬܐ ܀

⁴⁰unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?

⁴⁰ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܠܒܪ ܘܕܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁴¹But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.

⁴¹ܒܪܡ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܒܘܗܝ ܒܙܕܩܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܟܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁴²`But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

⁴²ܐܠܐ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܡܥܤܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܢܥܐ ܘܦܓܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܝܘܪܩ ܘܥܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܀

⁴³`Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.

⁴³ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܀

⁴⁴`Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.`

⁴⁴ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܘܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܀

⁴⁵And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;`

⁴⁵ܘܥܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܦ ܠܢ ܡܨܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁴⁶and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

⁴⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܝ ܕܡܛܥܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܘܒܠܐ ܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܥܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܘܒܠܐ ܀

⁴⁷`Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁷ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

⁴⁸Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;

⁴⁸ܤܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁹because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

⁴⁹ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܪܕܦܘܢ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܀

⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

⁵⁰ܕܢܬܬܒܥ ܕܡܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܬܐܫܕ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܒܪܝ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁵¹from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

⁵¹ܡܢ ܕܡܗ ܕܗܒܝܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܡܗ ܕܙܟܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܩܛܠ ܒܝܢܝ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܕܒܚܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܬܬܒܥ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁵²`Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.`

⁵²ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܬܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܟܠܝܬܘܢ ܀

⁵³And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

⁵³ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܬܒܐܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܚܡܬܝܢ ܘܡܬܟܤܝܢ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܀

⁵⁴laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
