¹And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,

¹ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܠܐ ܘܦܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܀

²and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?`

²ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܀

³And Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,

³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܀

⁴how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?`

⁴ܕܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܟܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܀

⁵and he said to them, — `The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.`

⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

⁶And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,

⁶ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

⁷and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁷ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܐܤܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀

⁸And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;` and he having risen, stood.

⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܩܘܡ ܬܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܨܥܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܡ ܀

⁹Then said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?`

⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܘ ܕܒܝܫ ܢܦܫܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܀

¹⁰And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;` and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹⁰ܘܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ ܀

¹¹and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

¹¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹²And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

¹²ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܬܡܢ ܐܓܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹³and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,

¹³ܘܟܕ ܢܓܗܬ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܓܒܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܫܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

¹⁴(Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁴ܫܡܥܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ ܀

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁵ܘܡܬܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܛܢܢܐ ܀

¹⁶Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

¹⁶ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܀

¹⁷and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

¹⁷ܘܢܚܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܡ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪ ܝܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܀

¹⁸and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,

¹⁸ܕܐܬܘ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܬܗ ܘܕܢܬܐܤܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܐܠܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

¹⁹and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

¹⁹ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

²⁰And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor — because yours is the reign of God.

²⁰ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܕܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²¹`Happy those hungering now — because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now — because ye shall laugh.

²¹ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܦܢܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܤܒܥܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܠܕܒܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܓܚܟܘܢ ܀

²²`Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man`s sake —

²²ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܦܩܝܢ ܫܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܝܫܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²³rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

²³ܚܕܘ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܕܘܨܘ ܕܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܀

²⁴`But wo to you — the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

²⁴ܒܪܡ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܒܘܝܐܟܘܢ ܀

²⁵`Wo to you who have been filled — because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now — because ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁵ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܥܐ ܕܬܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܕܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܐܒܠܘܢ ܀

²⁶`Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you — for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

²⁶ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܀

²⁷`But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,

²⁷ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

²⁸bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

²⁸ܘܒܪܟܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܛܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܀

²⁹and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back.

²⁹ܘܠܕܡܚܐ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܦܟܟ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܡܪܛܘܛܟ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܘܬܝܢܟ ܀

³⁰`And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;

³⁰ܠܟܠ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܟ ܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܥ ܀

³¹and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner;

³¹ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܟܘܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³²and — if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;

³²ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܀

³³and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same;

³³ܘܐܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܐܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀

³⁴and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners — that they may receive again as much.

³⁴ܘܐܢ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܢܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܀

³⁵`But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁵ܒܪܡ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܛܐܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܘܙܦܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܦܤܩܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܤܓܝ ܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܪܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܦܘܪܐ ܀

³⁶be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

³⁶ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁷`And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

³⁷ܠܐ ܬܕܘܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܪܘ ܘܬܫܬܪܘܢ ܀

³⁸`Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.`

³⁸ܗܒܘ ܘܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܝܠܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܪܩܝܥܬܐ ܘܡܫܦܥܬܐ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܥܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܟܝܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܬܬܟܝܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

³⁹And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

³⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܤܡܝܐ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܀

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

⁴⁰ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܓܡܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ ܀

⁴¹`And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother`s eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?

⁴¹ܡܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܠܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܀

⁴²or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye — thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother`s eye.

⁴²ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܐܚܝ ܫܒܘܩ ܐܦܩ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܗܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܢܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܦܩ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܀

⁴³`For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;

⁴³ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܀

⁴⁴for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.

⁴⁵`The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

⁴⁵ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠܢ ܤܦܘܬܐ ܀

⁴⁶`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

⁴⁷Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

⁴⁷ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܡܐ ܀

⁴⁸he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

⁴⁸ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܚܦܪ ܘܥܡܩ ܘܤܡ ܫܬܐܤܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܐ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܡܠܐܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܙܝܥܝܘܗܝ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܬܐܤܬܗ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܀

⁴⁹`And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.`
