1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
1ܒܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܛܛܪܪܟܐ ܫܡܥܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀
2and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: *he* is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.
2ܘܐܡܪ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܗܢܘ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܀
3For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.
3ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܐܚܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܪܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܀
4For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
4ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܀
5And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.
5ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܘܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܒܝܐ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀
6But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;
6ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܪܩܕܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܀
7whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
7ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܀
8But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
8ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܠܦܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܐܡܗ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܀
9And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.
9ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܤܡܝܟܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܀
10And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
10ܘܫܕܪ ܦܤܩܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀
11and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] to her mother.
11ܘܐܝܬܝ ܪܫܗ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܬܗ ܠܐܡܗ ܀
12And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.
12ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܩܒܪܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܚܘܝܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀
13And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.
13ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܒܝܒܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀
14And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.
14ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܝ ܟܪܝܗܝܗܘܢ ܀
15But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.
15ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܀
16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.
16ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܀
17But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
17ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܬܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܫ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܀
18And he said, Bring them here to me.
18ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀
19And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.
19ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܠܡܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀
20And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
20ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܀
21But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
21ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܠܦܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܀
22And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.
22ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܠܨ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܩܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܥܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀
23And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
23ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܟܕ ܚܫܟܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܀
24but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
24ܘܐܠܦܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܬܓܫܐ ܤܓܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܗܘܬ ܀
25But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
25ܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܀
26And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.
26ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܗܘܢ ܩܥܘ ܀
27But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid.
27ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܀
28And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
28ܘܥܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܦܩܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܀
29And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
29ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܀
30But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
30ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܕܚܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܛܒܥ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܩܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ ܀
31And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
31ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܐܚܕܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܬܦܠܓܬ ܀
32And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
32ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܀
33But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.
33ܘܐܬܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܦܐ ܤܓܕܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
34And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.
34ܘܪܕܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ ܀
35And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,
35ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܀ 36 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܐܦܢ ܠܟܢܦܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܘ ܐܬܐܤܝܘ ܀
36and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.
