¹And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

¹ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܠܦ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

²And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;

²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ ܬܐܬܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܀

³give us our needed bread for each day;

³ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܤܘܢܩܢܢ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܀

⁴and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.

⁴ܘܫܒܘܩ ܠܢ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢ ܠܟܠ ܕܚܝܒܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܥܠܢ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܦܪܘܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܀

⁵And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,

⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܢܐܙܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܒܦܠܓܘܬ ܠܠܝܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܚܡܝ ܐܫܐܠܝܢܝ ܬܠܬ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܀

⁶since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;

⁶ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܠܗ ܀

⁷and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?

⁷ܘܗܘ ܪܚܡܗ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܢܥܢܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܗܪܝܢܝ ܕܗܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܗܘ ܘܒܢܝ ܥܡܝ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܩܘܡ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟ ܀

⁸-- I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.

⁸ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܡܛܠ ܪܚܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܚܨܝܦܘܬܗ ܢܩܘܡ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܟܡܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܀

⁹And *I* say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

⁹ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܐܠܘ ܘܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܘܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܩܘܫܘ ܘܢܬܦܬܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁰For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.

¹⁰ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܐܠ ܢܤܒ ܘܕܒܥܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܘܕܢܩܫ ܡܬܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܀

¹¹But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?

¹¹ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܒܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܒܪܗ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܡܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܘܢܐ ܚܘܝܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܀

¹²or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?

¹²ܘܐܢ ܒܪܬܐ ܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܀

¹³If therefore *ye*, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹³ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܐܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁴And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb [man] spoke. And the crowds wondered.

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܪܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܠܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܫܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁵But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.

¹⁵ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܡܦܩ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

¹⁶And others tempting [him] sought from him a sign out of heaven.

¹⁶ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁷But *he*, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;

¹⁷ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܕܬܬܦܠܓ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܬܚܪܒ ܘܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܩܢܘܡܗ ܡܬܦܠܓ ܢܦܠ ܀ ܀

¹⁸and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

¹⁸ܘܐܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܬܦܠܓ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

¹⁹But if *I* by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons -- by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason *they* shall be your judges.

¹⁹ܘܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܀

²⁰But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²⁰ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܨܒܥܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܦܩ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²¹When the strong [man] armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;

²¹ܐܡܬܝ ܕܚܤܝܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܙܝܢ ܢܛܪ ܕܪܬܗ ܒܫܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܩܢܝܢܗ ܀

²²but when the stronger than he coming upon [him] overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil [he has taken] from him.

²²ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܤܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܢܙܟܝܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܙܝܢܗ ܫܩܠ ܗܘ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܙܬܗ ܡܦܠܓ ܀

²³He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

²³ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܟܢܫ ܥܡܝ ܡܒܕܪܘ ܡܒܕܪ ܀

²⁴When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding [any] he says, I will return to my house whence I came out.

²⁴ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܡܬܟܪܟܐ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܢܝܚܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܒܝܬܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܀

²⁵And having come, he finds it swept and adorned.

²⁵ܘܐܢ ܐܬܬ ܐܫܟܚܬܗ ܕܚܡܝܡ ܘܡܨܒܬ ܀

²⁶Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.

²⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܢ ܡܢܗ ܘܥܐܠܢ ܘܥܡܪܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܚܪܬܗ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܗ ܀

²⁷And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܪܝܡܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܩܠܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܗ ܠܟܪܤܐ ܕܛܥܢܬܟ ܘܠܬܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܢܩܘܟ ܀

²⁸But *he* said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep [it].

²⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

²⁹But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas.

²⁹ܘܟܕ ܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

³⁰For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

³⁰ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘܐ ܝܘܢܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

³¹A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.

³¹ܡܠܟܬܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܩܘܡ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܬܚܝܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܥܒܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܀

³²Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

³²ܓܒܪܐ ܢܝܢܘܝܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܥܡ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܗ ܕܬܒܘ ܒܟܪܘܙܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܘܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܀

³³But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

³³ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܪ ܫܪܓܐ ܘܤܐܡ ܠܗ ܒܟܤܝܐ ܐܘ ܬܚܝܬ ܤܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܡܢܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܀

³⁴The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.

³⁴ܫܪܓܗ ܕܦܓܪܟ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܝܢܟ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܥܝܢܟ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܐܦ ܟܠܗ ܦܓܪܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܗܝܪ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܦܓܪܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟ ܀

³⁵See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁵ܐܙܕܗܪ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܟ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁶If therefore thy whole body [is] light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.

³⁶ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܓܪܟ ܟܠܗ ܢܗܝܪ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܡܢܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܪ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܪܓܐ ܒܕܠܩܗ ܡܢܗܪ ܠܟ ܀

³⁷But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.

³⁷ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܚܕ ܕܢܫܬܪܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܥܠ ܐܤܬܡܟ ܀

³⁸But the Pharisee seeing [it] wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܥܡܕ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܪܘܬܗ ܀

³⁹But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward [parts] are full of plunder and wickedness.

³⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܫܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܦܝܢܟܐ ܡܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܓܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܚܛܘܦܝܐ ܘܒܝܫܬܐ ܀

⁴⁰Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also?

⁴⁰ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܠܒܪ ܘܕܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁴¹But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

⁴¹ܒܪܡ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܒܘܗܝ ܒܙܕܩܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܟܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁴²But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.

⁴²ܐܠܐ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܡܥܤܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܢܥܐ ܘܦܓܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܝܘܪܩ ܘܥܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܀

⁴³Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.

⁴³ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܀

⁴⁴Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know [it].

⁴⁴ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܘܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܀

⁴⁵And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.

⁴⁵ܘܥܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܦ ܠܢ ܡܨܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁴⁶And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܝ ܕܡܛܥܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܘܒܠܐ ܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܥܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܘܒܠܐ ܀

⁴⁷Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.

⁴⁷ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

⁴⁸Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for *they* killed them, and *ye* build [their sepulchres].

⁴⁸ܤܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁹For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,

⁴⁹ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܪܕܦܘܢ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܀

⁵⁰that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

⁵⁰ܕܢܬܬܒܥ ܕܡܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܬܐܫܕ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܒܪܝ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁵¹from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

⁵¹ܡܢ ܕܡܗ ܕܗܒܝܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܡܗ ܕܙܟܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܩܛܠ ܒܝܢܝ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܕܒܚܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܬܬܒܥ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁵²Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.

⁵²ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܬܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܟܠܝܬܘܢ ܀

⁵³And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;

⁵³ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܬܒܐܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܚܡܬܝܢ ܘܡܬܟܤܝܢ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܀

⁵⁴watching him, [and seeking] to catch something out of his mouth, [that they might accuse him].

⁵⁴ܘܢܟܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܟܕ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀
