¹And he entered again into Capernaum after [several] days, and it was reported that he was at [the] house;

¹ܘܥܠ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܠܝܘܡܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܀

²and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

²ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܐܚܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܀

³And there come to him [men] bringing a paralytic, borne by four;

³ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܀

⁴and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug [it] up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

⁴ܘܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܓܪܐ ܘܐܪܝܡܘ ܬܛܠܝܠܐ ܕܐܬܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܒܘܗ ܥܪܤܐ ܕܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܀

⁵But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].

⁵ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܒܪܝ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܀

⁶But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁶ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܘܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܀

⁷Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?

⁷ܕܡܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁸And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

⁸ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܀

⁹Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?

⁹ܐܝܕܐ ܦܫܝܩܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܡܫܪܝܐ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܐܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܕܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀

¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

¹⁰ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܡܫܪܝܐ ܀

¹¹To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.

¹¹ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܀

¹²And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before [them] all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.

¹²ܘܩܡ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܘܫܩܠ ܥܪܤܗ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܚܙܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܀

¹³And he went out again by the sea, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

¹³ܘܢܦܩ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁴And passing by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܚܙܐ ܠܠܘܝ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹⁵And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

¹⁵ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܝܟ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why [is it] that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹⁶ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܠܥܤ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܥܡ ܚܛܝܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܢܘ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܀

¹⁷And Jesus having heard [it] says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous [men], but sinners.

¹⁷ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܀

¹⁸And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and [the disciples] of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁸ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܀

¹⁹And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

¹⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܓܢܘܢܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܢܨܘܡܘܢ ܠܐ ܀

²⁰But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then shall they fast in that day.

²⁰ܢܐܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܚܬܢܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܨܘܡܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܀

²¹No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment: otherwise its new filling-up takes from the old [stuff], and there is a worse rent.

²¹ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܚܐܛ ܥܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܒܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܒܐ ܡܠܝܘܬܗ ܗܝ ܚܕܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܠܝܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܤܕܩܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܀

²²And no one puts new wine into old skins; otherwise the wine bursts the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine is to be put into new skins.

²²ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܒܠܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܡܨܪܐ ܠܙܩܐ ܘܙܩܐ ܐܒܕܢ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܐܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܀

²³And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears.

²³ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܠܓܝܢ ܫܒܠܐ ܀

²⁴And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful?

²⁴ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܚܙܝ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܀

²⁵And *he* said to them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need and hungered, *he* and those with him,

²⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܐܤܬܢܩ ܘܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܕܥܡܗ ܀

²⁶how he entered into the house of God, in [the section of] Abiathar [the] high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?

²⁶ܐܝܟܢܐ ܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܐܒܝܬܪ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܟܠ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܦ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܘ ܀

²⁷And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath;

²⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܬܒܪܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܒܬܐ ܀ 28 ܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²⁸so that the Son of man is lord of the sabbath also.
