¹Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

¹ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܟܢܫ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܘ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܬܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ ܀

²and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

²ܚܙܐ ܤܦܝܢܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܢ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܝܡܬܐ ܘܨܝܕܐ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܘܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܡܨܝܕܬܗܘܢ ܀

³And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.

³ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܝܬܒ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܕܒܪܘܢܗ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܝܒܫܐ ܠܡܝܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

⁴And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

⁴ܘܟܕ ܫܬܩ ܡܢ ܡܡܠܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܒܪܘ ܠܥܘܡܩܐ ܘܐܪܡܘ ܡܨܝܕܬܟܘܢ ܠܨܝܕܐ ܀

⁵And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.

⁵ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܠܠܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܠܐܝܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܚܕܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܟ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܀

⁶And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;

⁶ܘܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܚܒܫܘ ܢܘܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܡܨܛܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܨܝܕܬܗܘܢ ܀

⁷and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

⁷ܘܪܡܙܘ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܢܥܕܪܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܡܠܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܤܦܝܢܐ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܡܛܒܥ ܀

⁸But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

⁸ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܦܠ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܡܪܝ ܦܪܘܩ ܠܟ ܡܢܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܀

⁹For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;

⁹ܬܡܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܕܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܥܠ ܨܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܕܨܕܘ ܀

¹⁰and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

¹⁰ܗܟܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܨܐܕ ܠܚܝܐ ܀

¹¹And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.

¹¹ܘܩܪܒܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܤܦܝܢܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܒܩܘ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܐܬܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹²And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܓܪܒܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܕܟܝܘܬܝ ܀

¹³And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.

¹³ܘܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܕܟܐ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܙܠ ܡܢܗ ܓܪܒܗ ܘܐܬܕܟܝ ܀

¹⁴And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁴ܘܦܩܕܗ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܙܠ ܚܘܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܪܒ ܚܠܦ ܬܕܟܝܬܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁵But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.

¹⁵ܘܢܦܩ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܛܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܡܬܟܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܡܬܐܤܝܘ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁶But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܕܒܪܐ ܘܡܨܠܐ ܀

¹⁷And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

¹⁷ܘܗܘܐ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܠܦܝ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܕܝܗܘܕ ܘܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܤܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁸And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

¹⁸ܘܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܢܤܝܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁹And not finding by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

¹⁹ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܥܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܓܪܐ ܘܫܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܥܪܤܗ ܡܢ ܬܛܠܝܠܐ ܠܡܨܥܬܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

²⁰And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

²⁰ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܀

²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

²¹ܘܫܪܝܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܀

²²But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?

²²ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܀

²³Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?

²³ܐܝܕܐ ܦܫܝܩܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܐܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܩܘܡ ܗܠܟ ܀

²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.

²⁴ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܢܫܒܘܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܡܫܪܝܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܀

²⁵And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

²⁵ܘܡܚܕܐ ܩܡ ܠܥܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܫܩܠ ܥܪܤܗ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁶And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

²⁶ܘܬܡܗܐ ܐܚܕ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܀

²⁷And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.

²⁷ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐ ܡܟܤܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܠܘܝ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܀

²⁸And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.

²⁸ܘܫܒܩ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

²⁹And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.

²⁹ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܠܘܝ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܩܘܒܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܘܕܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀

³⁰And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?

³⁰ܘܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܀

³¹And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.

³¹ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܐܤܝܐ ܠܚܠܝܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܀

³²I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

³²ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܀

³³And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the [disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.

³³ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܕܝܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܀

³⁴And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܓܢܘܢܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܕܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܕܢܨܘܡܘܢ ܀

³⁵But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.

³⁵ܢܐܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܚܬܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܨܘܡܘܢ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܀

³⁶And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.

³⁶ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܩܐܕ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܐܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܪܡܐ ܥܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܒܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܠܚܕܬܐ ܩܐܕ ܘܠܒܠܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܚܕܬܐ ܀

³⁷And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.

³⁷ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܒܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܒܙܥ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܠܙܩܐ ܘܗܘ ܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܘܙܩܐ ܐܒܕܢ ܀

³⁸But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.

³⁸ܐܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪܝܢ ܀

³⁹And no man having drunk old [wine] desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.

³⁹ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܥܬܝܩܐ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܒܥܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܩܐ ܒܤܝܡ ܀
