¹And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

¹ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

²and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

²ܘܐܤܪܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܀

³Then Judas — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܐܬܚܝܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܬܘܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܗܦܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܤܦܐ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܀

⁴`I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;` and they said, `What — to us? thou shalt see!`

⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܚܛܝܬ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܢ ܡܐ ܠܢ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁵and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

⁵ܘܫܕܝܗܝ ܟܤܦܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܫܢܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܚܢܩ ܢܦܫܗ ܀

⁶And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, `It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;`

⁶ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܟܤܦܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܕܢܪܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܬ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܝܡܝ ܕܡܐ ܗܘ ܀

⁷and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;

⁷ܘܢܤܒܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܙܒܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܓܘܪܤܗ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܕܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܀

⁸therefore was that field called, `Field of blood,` unto this day.

⁸ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܓܘܪܤܐ ܗܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܀

⁹Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

⁹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܢܤܒܬ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܤܦܐ ܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܩܨܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

¹⁰and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.`

¹⁰ܘܝܗܒܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܓܘܪܤܗ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܀

¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!` And Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.`

¹¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܡ ܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀

¹²And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

¹²ܘܟܕ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܦܢܝ ܀

¹³then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?`

¹³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܟܡܐ ܡܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܀

¹⁴And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

¹⁴ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܠܐ ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܛܒ ܀

¹⁵And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

¹⁵ܒܟܠ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܚܕ ܠܥܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

¹⁶and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

¹⁶ܐܤܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀

¹⁷they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?`

¹⁷ܘܟܕ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܡܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁸for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁸ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܚܤܡܐ ܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁹And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.`

¹⁹ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܕܝܢ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܡ ܕܝܠܗ ܫܠܚܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܠܟ ܘܠܗܘ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܤܓܝ ܓܝܪ ܚܫܬ ܒܚܠܡܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܀

²⁰And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

²⁰ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܦܝܤܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢ ܀

²¹and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?` And they said, `Barabbas.`

²¹ܘܥܢܐ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀

²²Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?` They all say to him, `Let be crucified!`

²²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²³And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?` and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.`

²³ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²⁴And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;`

²⁴ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܘܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܩܠ ܡܝܐ ܐܫܝܓ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܚܤܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܀

²⁵and all the people answering said, `His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!`

²⁵ܘܥܢܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܡܗ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܢܝܢ ܀

²⁶Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;

²⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܘܢܓܕ ܒܦܪܓܠܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܫܠܡܗ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²⁷then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁷ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܕܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܤܦܝܪ ܀

²⁸and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁸ܘܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܟܠܡܝܤ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܀

²⁹and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.`

²⁹ܘܓܕܠܘ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܥܘܙܢܝܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܒܪܫܗ ܘܩܢܝܐ ܒܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܒܪܟܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܝܗܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³⁰And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³⁰ܘܪܩܘ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܢܝܐ ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܀

³¹and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].

³¹ܘܟܕ ܒܙܚܘ ܒܗ ܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܟܠܡܝܤ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

³²And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

³²ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܫܚܪܘ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܀

³³and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

³³ܘܐܬܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܓܓܘܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܬܦܫܩܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܀

³⁴they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

³⁴ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܕܢܫܬܐ ܚܠܐ ܕܚܠܝܛ ܒܡܪܪܬܐ ܘܛܥܡ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܀

³⁵And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;`

³⁵ܘܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܐ ܀

³⁶and sitting down, they were watching him there,

³⁶ܘܝܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܀

³⁷and they put up over his head, his accusation written, `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.`

³⁷ܘܤܡܘ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܪܫܗ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³⁸Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

³⁸ܘܐܙܕܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܀

³⁹and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

³⁹ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢܝܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁰and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.`

⁴⁰ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܬܪ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܢ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܘܬ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܀

⁴¹And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴¹ܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܀

⁴²`Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴²ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܢ ܡܠܟܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܚܘܬ ܗܫܐ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܀

⁴³he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;`

⁴³ܬܟܝܠ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܪܩܝܘܗܝ ܗܫܐ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܒܗ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴⁴with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

⁴⁴ܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܓܝܤܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܙܕܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

⁴⁵And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

⁴⁵ܡܢ ܫܬ ܫܥܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܥܐ ܬܫܥ ܀

⁴⁶and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?` that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

⁴⁶ܘܠܐܦܝ ܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܠ ܐܝܠ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܀

⁴⁷And certain of those standing there having heard, said — `Elijah he doth call;`

⁴⁷ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܐ ܠܐܠܝܐ ܩܪܐ ܀

⁴⁸and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,

⁴⁸ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܪܗܛ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܤܦܘܓܐ ܘܡܠܗ ܚܠܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܘܡܫܩܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

⁴⁹but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.`

⁴⁹ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܢܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܝܐ ܠܡܦܪܩܗ ܀

⁵⁰And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

⁵⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܘܒ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܒܩ ܪܘܚܗ ܀

⁵¹and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

⁵¹ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܬ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܀

⁵²and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

⁵²ܘܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܬܦܬܚܘ ܘܦܓܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܫܟܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܡܘ ܀

⁵³and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵³ܘܢܦܩܘ ܘܒܬܪ ܩܝܡܬܗ ܥܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

⁵⁴And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God`s Son.`

⁵⁴ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܕܥܡܗ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܙܘܥܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝ ܕܚܠܘ ܛܒ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵⁵And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

⁵⁵ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܬܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܀

⁵⁶among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶ܕܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܡܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܕܝܘܤܐ ܘܐܡܗܘܢ ܕܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܀

⁵⁷And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

⁵⁷ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܕܐܦ ܗܘ ܐܬܬܠܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁵⁸he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

⁵⁸ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܓܪܐ ܀

⁵⁹And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,

⁵⁹ܘܫܩܠܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܠܦܓܪܐ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܚܝܨܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܢܩܕܐ ܀

⁶⁰and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;

⁶⁰ܘܤܡܗ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܢܩܝܪ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܘܥܓܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܀

⁶¹and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

⁶¹ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܬܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܕܩܒܪܐ ܀

⁶²And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

⁶²ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܚܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܬܪ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

⁶³saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

⁶³ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܬܕܟܪܢ ܕܗܘ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܚܝ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁶⁴command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.`

⁶⁴ܦܩܘܕ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܙܕܗܪܝܢ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܢܓܢܒܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܩܡ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܛܘܥܝܝ ܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁶⁵And Pilate said to them, `Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;`

⁶⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ ܙܠܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀ 66 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܘܚܬܡܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܥܡ ܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ ܀

⁶⁶and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.

⁶⁶
