¹And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.

¹ܘܩܪܒܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red;

²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܚܘܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܩܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

³and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red [and] lowering; ye know [how] to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times.

³ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܤܬܘܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܩܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܡܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܒܩܘܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܦܪܫܘܢ ܀

⁴A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

⁴ܫܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܥܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܀

⁵And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܛܥܘ ܕܢܤܒܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܀

⁶And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܕܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܀

⁷And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread.

⁷ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܀

⁸And Jesus knowing [it], said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

⁸ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܀

⁹Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took [up]?

⁹ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܕܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܀

¹⁰nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took [up]?

¹⁰ܘܠܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܐܤܦܪܝܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܀

¹¹How do ye not understand that [it was] not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

¹¹ܐܝܟܢ ܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܬܙܕܗܪܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܕܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܀

¹²Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

¹²ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܙܕܗܪܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܕܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܀

¹³But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

¹³ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܩܤܪܝܐ ܕܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁴And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

¹⁴ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܐܘ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

¹⁵He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am?

¹⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܀

¹⁶And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁶ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܀

¹⁷And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

¹⁷ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܟ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܘܕܡܐ ܠܐ ܓܠܐ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

¹⁸And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

¹⁸ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܒܢܝܗ ܠܥܕܬܝ ܘܬܪܥܐ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܠܐ ܢܚܤܢܘܢܗ ܀

¹⁹And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

¹⁹ܠܟ ܐܬܠ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܐܤܘܪ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܤܝܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܪܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁰Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

²⁰ܗܝܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²¹From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

²¹ܘܡܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܚܘܝܘ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܓܝ ܢܚܫ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܬܩܛܠ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܀

²²And Peter taking him to [him] began to rebuke him, saying, [God] be favourable to thee, Lord; this shall in no wise be unto thee.

²²ܘܕܒܪܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܤ ܠܟ ܡܪܝ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܗܕܐ ܀

²³But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

²³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܒܤܬܪܝ ܤܛܢܐ ܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܪܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

²⁴Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

²⁴ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܀

²⁵For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁵ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܢܫܟܚܝܗ ܀

²⁶For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

²⁶ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܗܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܢܩܢܐ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܤܪ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܬܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܬܚܠܘܦܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܀

²⁷For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

²⁷ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܦܪܘܥ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܀ 28 ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܬܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܥܡܘܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܀

²⁸Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
