¹And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear 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 ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.

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

³And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.

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

⁴But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.

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

⁵And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.

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

⁶And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.

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

⁷And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.

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

⁸But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.

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

⁹For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;

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

¹⁰and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching 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 having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.

¹¹ܘܩܪܒܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܤܦܝܢܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܒܩܘ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܐܬܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹²And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

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 stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.

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

¹⁴And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

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

¹⁵But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.

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

¹⁶And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܕܒܪܐ ܘܡܨܠܐ ܀

¹⁷And it came to pass on one of the 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 [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.

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 lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.

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

¹⁹And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little 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 [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?

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

²²But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to 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, Rise up and walk?

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

²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.

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

²⁵And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.

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

²⁶And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and 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 saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.

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

²⁸And having left all, rising up, he followed him.

²⁸ܘܫܒܩ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

²⁹And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.

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

³⁰And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?

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

³¹And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

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

³²I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.

³²ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܀

³³And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also 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 he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?

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

³⁵But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.

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

³⁶And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit 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 one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

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

³⁸but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.

³⁸ܐܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪܝܢ ܀

³⁹And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.

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