¹Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

¹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܀

²Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

²ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܀

³But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?

³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁴For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

⁴ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܡܡܬ ܢܡܘܬ ܀

⁵But *ye* say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

⁵ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܬܗܢܐ ܡܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܀

⁶and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.

⁶ܘܒܛܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁷Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

⁷ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܀

⁸This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

⁸ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ ܀

⁹but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.

⁹ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁰And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

¹⁰ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܀

¹¹Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

¹¹ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܐܠ ܠܦܘܡܐ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

¹²Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

¹²ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܟܫܠܘ ܀

¹³But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

¹³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܢܨܒܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܨܒܗ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܬܬܥܩܪ ܀

¹⁴Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

¹⁴ܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܓܘܕܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܐܢ ܢܕܒܪ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܀

¹⁵And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

¹⁵ܘܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܦܫܩ ܠܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁶But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

¹⁷Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?

¹⁷ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܐܠ ܠܦܘܡܐ ܠܟܪܤܐ ܗܘ ܐܙܠ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ ܀

¹⁸but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

¹⁸ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܢܦܩ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁹For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

¹⁹ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܩܛܠܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܤܗܕܘܬ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܀

²⁰these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

²⁰ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܢܠܥܤ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܝܒ ܀

²¹And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

²¹ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܀

²²and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

²²ܘܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܢܥܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩܬ ܟܕ ܩܥܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܬܝ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܀

²³But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

²³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܦܢܝܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܪܝܗ ܕܩܥܝܐ ܒܬܪܢ ܀

²⁴But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

²⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܕܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܛܥܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

²⁵But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

²⁵ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܬ ܤܓܕܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܝ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܀

²⁶But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܠܡܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܠܡܪܡܝܘ ܠܟܠܒܐ ܀

²⁷But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

²⁷ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܚܐܝܢ ܀

²⁸Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from *that* hour.

²⁸ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܀

²⁹And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

²⁹ܘܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܬܡܢ ܀

³⁰and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:

³⁰ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܚܓܝܪܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܘܦܫܝܓܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܤܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

³¹so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

³¹ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܚܪܫܐ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܦܫܝܓܐ ܕܡܬܚܠܡܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

³²But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

³²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܕܐܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܥܘܦܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܀

³³And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?

³³ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܢ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܤܒܥ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܀

³⁴And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

³⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܩܠܝܠ ܢܘܢܐ ܕܩܕܩܐ ܀

³⁵And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;

³⁵ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³⁶and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

³⁶ܘܫܩܠ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܠܢܘܢܐ ܘܫܒܚ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܝܗܒܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

³⁷And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

³⁷ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܡܠܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܀

³⁸but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁸ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܀ 39 ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܓܕܘ ܀

³⁹And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
