¹And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

¹ܘܒܬܪ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܤܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܪܡܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܀

²and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

²ܘܐܫܬܚܠܦ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܗܪ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܐܝܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܚܘܪܘ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܀

³and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.

³ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܠܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܀

⁴And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.`

⁴ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܢ ܕܬܢܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܘܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܢܥܒܕ ܬܢܢ ܬܠܬ ܡܛܠܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܠܟ ܘܚܕܐ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܚܕܐ ܠܐܠܝܐ ܀

⁵While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.`

⁵ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܐ ܥܢܢܐ ܢܗܝܪܬܐ ܐܛܠܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܨܛܒܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘ ܀

⁶And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

⁶ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܛܒ ܀

⁷and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,`

⁷ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܩܘܡܘ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܀

⁸and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

⁸ܘܐܪܝܡܘ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܀

⁹And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.`

⁹ܘܟܕ ܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܚܙܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

¹⁰And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?`

¹⁰ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܀

¹¹And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

¹¹ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܫܠܡ ܀

¹²and I say to you — Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.`

¹²ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܐ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܘܗܝ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܒܗ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܨܒܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܚܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܀

¹³Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

¹³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁴And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܟܢܫܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁵and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,

¹⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܪ ܐܓܪܐ ܘܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕ ܟܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܦܠ ܘܟܡܐ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܡܝܐ ܀

¹⁶and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.`

¹⁶ܘܩܪܒܬܗ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܐܤܝܘܬܗ ܀

¹⁷And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;`

¹⁷ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܥܩܠܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܗܘܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܤܝܒܪܟܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܠܝ ܠܟܐ ܀

¹⁸and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

¹⁸ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܫܐܕܐ ܘܐܬܐܤܝ ܛܠܝܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܀

¹⁹Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?`

¹⁹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܠܡܐܤܝܘܬܗ ܀

²⁰And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܛܠ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܪܕܠܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܫܢܐ ܡܟܐ ܘܢܫܢܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܚܤܢܟܘܢ ܀

²¹and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.`

²¹ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܓܢܤܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܐܠܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܀

²²And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

²²ܟܕ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

²³and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,` and they were exceeding sorry.

²³ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܒ ܀

²⁴And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher — doth he not pay the didrachms?` He saith, `Yes.`

²⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܩܪܒܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܤܒܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܙܘܙܝܢ ܕܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܘܬ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܪܒܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܬܪܝܢ ܙܘܙܘܗܝ ܀

²⁵And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth — from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?`

²⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܢ ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܩܕܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܟܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܀

²⁶Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.` Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free;

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܕܝܢ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܀ 27 ܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܟܫܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܙܠ ܠܝܡܐ ܘܐܪܡܐ ܒܠܘܥܐ ܘܢܘܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܤܠܩ ܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܬܫܟܚ ܐܤܬܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܒ ܘܗܒ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܚܠܦܝܟ ܀

²⁷but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.`
