1And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
1ܘܗܘܐ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܩܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܀
2and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
2ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
3And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
3ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܝ ܀
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
4ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀
5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
5ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀
6But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
6ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܓܡ ܠܢ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܀
7And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
7ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܀
8And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
8ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܀
9And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.
9ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܨܒ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܗ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܘܐܒܥܕ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀
10And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
10ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܥܒܕܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ ܀
11And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
11ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܨܥܪܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ ܀
12And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
12ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܨܠܦܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܀
13And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
13ܐܡܪ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܫܕܪ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܟܒܪ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܟܚܕܘܢ ܀
14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
14ܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܬܘ ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܀
15And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
15ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܀
16He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
16ܢܐܬܐ ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܠ ܟܪܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܀
17But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
17ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܪܝܫ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܙܘܝܬܐ ܀
18Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
18ܘܟܠ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܬܪܥܥ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܗܝ ܬܦܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܀
19And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
19ܒܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
20And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
20ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܫܘܫܐ ܕܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܙܕܝܩܐ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܘܠܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܀
21And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:
21ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܠܦ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܀
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
22ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܐܘ ܠܐ ܀
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
23ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܟܠ ܚܪܥܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܀
24Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's.
24ܚܘܐܘܢܝ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܨܠܡܐ ܘܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܤܪ ܀
25And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.
25ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܒܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܤܪ ܠܩܤܪ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
26And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
26ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܡܢܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܥܠ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܘܫܬܩܘ ܀
27And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;
27ܩܪܒܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܀
28and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
28ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܬܒ ܠܢ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܘܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܙܪܥܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܀
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
29ܫܒܥܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܀
30and the second:
30ܘܢܤܒܗ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܗܢܐ ܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܀
31and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
31ܘܕܬܠܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܢܤܒܗ ܘܗܟܘܬ ܘܐܦ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܀
32Afterward the woman also died.
32ܘܡܝܬܬ ܒܚܪܬܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܀
33In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
33ܒܩܝܡܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒܘܗ ܀
34And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
34ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܀
35but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
35ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܗܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܫܘܘ ܘܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܀
36for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
36ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܡܬ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܀
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
37ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܦ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܕܩ ܐܕܟܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܢܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܀
38Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
38ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗ ܀
39And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
39ܘܥܢܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܀
40For they durst not any more ask him any question.
40ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪܚܘ ܠܡܫܐܠܘܬܗ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܀
41And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son?
41ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܀
42For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
42ܘܗܘ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܀
43Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
43ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ ܀
44David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
44ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܪܝ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܀
45And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,
45ܘܟܕ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀
46Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
46ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܐܤܛܠܐ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܒܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܀
47who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
47ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܟܝܢ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܀
