¹And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.

¹ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܘܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܟܠ ܟܐܒ ܘܟܘܪܗܢ ܀

²And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܪܥܤܪ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܫܡܗܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܀

³Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;

³ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܡܬܝ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܠܒܝ ܕܐܬܟܢܝ ܬܕܝ ܀

⁴Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.

⁴ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܢܢܝܐ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܫܠܡܗ ܀

⁵These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, `To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,

⁵ܠܗܠܝܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܫܕܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܚܢܦܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܠܘܢ ܀

⁶and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶ܙܠܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܐܒܕܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

⁷`And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;

⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܟܪܙܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܀

⁸infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.

⁸ܟܪܝܗܐ ܐܤܘ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܕܟܘ ܘܕܝܘܐ ܐܦܩܘ ܡܓܢ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܡܓܢ ܗܒܘ ܀

⁹`Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,

⁹ܠܐ ܬܩܢܘܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܤܐܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܫܐ ܒܟܝܤܝܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁰nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹⁰ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܦܥܠܐ ܤܝܒܪܬܗ ܀

¹¹`And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.

¹¹ܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܡܢܘ ܫܘܐ ܒܗ ܘܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

¹²And coming to the house salute it,

¹²ܘܡܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܫܐܠܘ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܀

¹³and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.

¹³ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܘܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܦܢܐ ܀

¹⁴`And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,

¹⁴ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܠܝܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܦܨܘ ܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁵verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

¹⁵ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܘܕܥܡܘܪܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܀

¹⁶`Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.

¹⁶ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܘܬܡܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܢܐ ܀

¹⁷And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,

¹⁷ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܢܢܓܕܘܢܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁸and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁸ܘܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܥܡܡܐ ܀

¹⁹`And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;

¹⁹ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܀

²⁰for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.

²⁰ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

²¹`And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

²¹ܢܫܠܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܒܐ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܡܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²²and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.

²²ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܤܝܒܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܚܐ ܀

²³`And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.

²³ܡܐ ܕܪܕܦܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܠܡܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²⁴`A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;

²⁴ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ ܀

²⁵sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

²⁵ܤܦܩ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ ܘܠܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܪܗ ܐܢ ܠܡܪܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܩܪܘ ܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܚܕ ܟܡܐ ܠܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܀

²⁶`Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;

²⁶ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܕܡܛܫܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܝܕܥ ܀

²⁷that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.

²⁷ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܐܘܡܪܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܗܝܪܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܟܪܙܘ ܥܠ ܐܓܪܐ ܀

²⁸`And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna.

²⁸ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܛܠܝܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܢܦܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܡܩܛܠ ܕܚܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܕܠܢܦܫܐ ܘܠܦܓܪܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܒܓܗܢܐ ܀

²⁹`Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;

²⁹ܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܨܦܪܝܢ ܡܙܕܒܢܢ ܒܐܤܪ ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܒܠܥܕ ܡܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³⁰and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;

³⁰ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢܐ ܕܪܫܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

³¹be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.

³¹ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܨܦܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³²`Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;

³²ܟܠܢܫ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܢܘܕܐ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

³³and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.

³³ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܟܦܘܪ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

³⁴`Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;

³⁴ܠܐ ܬܤܒܪܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܫܝܢܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܫܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܪܒܐ ܀

³⁵for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

³⁵ܐܬܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦܠܘܓ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܡܗ ܘܟܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܡܬܗ ܀

³⁶and the enemies of a man are those of his household.

³⁶ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܀

³⁷`He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,

³⁷ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܐܡܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܒܪܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܀

³⁸and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܩܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܀

³⁹`He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁹ܡܢ ܕܐܫܟܚ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܢܫܟܚܝܗ ܀

⁴⁰`He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,

⁴⁰ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܀

⁴¹he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet`s reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man`s reward,

⁴¹ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܫܡ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܒܫܡ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܢܤܒ ܀ 42 ܘܟܠ ܕܡܫܩܐ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܟܤܐ ܕܩܪܝܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܐܓܪܗ ܀

⁴²and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.`
