¹And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

¹ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܘܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܀

²and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

²ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܟܪܙܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܀

³And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܬܫܩܠܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܤܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁴and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

⁴ܘܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܦܘܩܘ ܀

⁵and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.`

⁵ܘܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܦ ܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܦܨܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܀

⁶And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.

⁶ܘܢܦܩܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܬܟܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܐܤܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟ ܀

⁷And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;

⁷ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܛܛܪܪܟܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁸and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;

⁸ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܩܡ ܀

⁹and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?` and he was seeking to see him.

⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܢܐ ܦܤܩܬ ܡܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁰And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida,

¹⁰ܘܟܕ ܗܦܟܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܘܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܀

¹¹and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.

¹¹ܟܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܘܬܐ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹²And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.`

¹²ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܘܡܐ ܠܡܨܠܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ܘܠܟܦܪܘܢܐ ܕܢܫܪܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܀

¹³And he said unto them, `Give ye them to eat;` and they said, `We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;`

¹³ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܙܠܢܢ ܘܙܒܢܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܀

¹⁴for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;`

¹⁴ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܤܡܟܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܡܟܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܒܤܡܟܐ ܀

¹⁵and they did so, and made all to recline;

¹⁵ܘܥܒܕܘ ܗܟܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܐܤܡܟܘ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁶and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;

¹⁶ܘܢܤܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁷and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹⁷ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܘܬܪܘ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܀

¹⁸And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, `Who do the multitudes say me to be?`

¹⁸ܘܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܀

¹⁹And they answering said, `John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;`

¹⁹ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܩܡ ܀

²⁰and he said to them, `And ye — who do ye say me to be?` and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.`

²⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܫܝܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²¹And having charged them, he commanded [them] to say this to no one,

²¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܀

²²saying — `It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.`

²²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܢܚܫ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܀

²³And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

²³ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܀

²⁴for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;

²⁴ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܐ ܡܘܒܕ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܢܐ ܡܚܐ ܠܗ ܀

²⁵for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?

²⁵ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܬܪ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܒܕ ܐܘ ܢܚܤܪ ܀

²⁶`For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father`s, and the holy messengers`;

²⁶ܡܢ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܘܒܡܠܝ ܢܒܗܬ ܒܗ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

²⁷and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.`

²⁷ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܥܡܘܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁸And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

²⁸ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܡܢܝܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܀

²⁹and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.

²⁹ܘܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܬܚܠܦ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܪܘ ܘܡܒܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

³⁰And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³⁰ܘܗܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܠܝܐ ܀

³¹who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,

³¹ܕܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܦܩܢܗ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

³²but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

³²ܘܝܩܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

³³And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, `Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,` not knowing what he saith:

³³ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܦܪܫ ܡܢܗ ܐܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܪܒܝ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܢ ܕܗܪܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܬܠܬ ܡܛܠܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܡܘܫܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܀

³⁴and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,

³⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܥܢܢܐ ܘܐܛܠܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܕܥܠܘ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܀

³⁵and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son — the Beloved; hear ye him;`

³⁵ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘ ܀

³⁶and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

³⁶ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܫܬܩܘ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܘ ܀

³⁷And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude,

³⁷ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

³⁸and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, `Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;

³⁸ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܝ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܀

³⁹and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

³⁹ܘܪܘܚܐ ܥܕܝܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܩܥܐ ܘܡܚܪܩ ܫܢܘܗܝ ܘܡܪܥܬ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܦܪܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܡܐ ܕܫܚܩܬܗ ܀

⁴⁰and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.`

⁴⁰ܘܒܥܝܬ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܕܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܀

⁴¹And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;`

⁴¹ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܥܩܠܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܝܒܪܟܘܢ ܩܪܒܝܗܝ ܠܟܐ ܠܒܪܟ ܀

⁴²and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore [him] sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

⁴²ܘܟܕ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܪܡܝܗ ܕܝܘܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܥܤܗ ܘܟܐܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܀

⁴³And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴³ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

⁴⁴`Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.`

⁴⁴ܤܝܡܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

⁴⁵And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁵ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܘܕܥܘܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܟܤܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܕܥܘܢܗ ܘܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܥܠܝܗ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁴⁶And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

⁴⁶ܘܥܠܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܪܒ ܒܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁷and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

⁴⁷ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܒ ܛܠܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

⁴⁸and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be great.`

⁴⁸ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܥܘܪ ܒܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܀

⁴⁹And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;`

⁴⁹ܘܥܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܪܒܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܫܡܟ ܘܟܠܝܢܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܡܢ ܒܬܪܟ ܀

⁵⁰and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.`

⁵⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܀

⁵¹And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

⁵¹ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܤܘܠܩܗ ܐܬܩܢ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

⁵²and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

⁵²ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܥܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܩܢܘܢ ܠܗ ܀

⁵³and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

⁵³ܘܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܀

⁵⁴And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?`

⁵⁴ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܘܬܚܘܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܬܤܝܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁵⁵and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

⁵⁵ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܕܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܀

⁵⁶for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men`s lives, but to save;` and they went on to another village.

⁵⁶ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܀

⁵⁷And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;`

⁵⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܀

⁵⁸and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.`

⁵⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܥܠܐ ܢܩܥܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠܠܐ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܤܡܘܟ ܪܫܗ ܀

⁵⁹And he said unto another, `Be following me;` and he said, `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;`

⁵⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܙܠ ܐܩܒܘܪ ܐܒܝ ܀

⁶⁰and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.`

⁶⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩ ܡܝܬܐ ܩܒܪܝܢ ܡܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܙܠ ܤܒܪ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁶¹And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;`

⁶¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܡܪܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܐܙܠ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܀

⁶²and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.`

⁶²ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܦܕܢܐ ܘܚܐܪ ܠܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܚܫܚ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
