¹And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.

¹ܘܤܠܩ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܥܒܪ ܐܬܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܀

²And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

²ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܪܡܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܐܬܠܒܒ ܒܪܝ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܀

³And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

³ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܡܓܕܦ ܀

⁴And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?

⁴ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܀

⁵For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

⁵ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܫܝܩ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܛܗܝܟ ܐܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܩܘܡ ܗܠܟ ܀

⁶But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

⁶ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܀

⁷And he rose up and went to his house.

⁷ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܀

⁸But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

⁸ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

⁹And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

⁹ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܤܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܬܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹⁰And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁰ܘܟܕ ܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܐܬܘ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

¹¹And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹¹ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܥܡ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܚܛܝܐ ܠܥܤ ܪܒܟܘܢ ܀

¹²But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

¹²ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܀

¹³But go and learn what [that] is -- I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

¹³ܙܠܘ ܝܠܦܘ ܡܢܘ ܚܢܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܩܪܐ ܠܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܀

¹⁴Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁴ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܤܓܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܀

¹⁵And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܓܢܘܢܐ ܠܡܨܡ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܚܬܢܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܨܘܡܘܢ ܀

¹⁶But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

¹⁶ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܥܠ ܢܚܬܐ ܒܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܘܦ ܡܠܝܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܢܚܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܙܥܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܀

¹⁷Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.

¹⁷ܘܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܒܠܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܙܩܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܘܙܩܐ ܐܒܕܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܙܩܐ ܚܕܬܬܐ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪܝܢ ܀

¹⁸As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

¹⁸ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܩܪܒ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܫܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܬܐ ܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܬܚܐ ܀

¹⁹And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

¹⁹ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

²⁰And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

²⁰ܘܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܗ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܐܬܬ ܡܢ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܠܩܪܢܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܀

²¹for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

²¹ܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܐܦܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܡܐܢܗ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܐܤܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܀

²²But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

²²ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܚܙܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܠܒܒܝ ܒܪܬܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܘܐܬܐܤܝܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܀

²³And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

²³ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܙܡܪܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܫܝܢ ܀

²⁴he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

²⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

²⁵But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

²⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܩܡܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܀

²⁶And the fame of it went out into all that land.

²⁶ܘܢܦܩ ܛܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܀

²⁷And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܕܒܩܘܗܝ ܤܡܝܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܩܥܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܀

²⁸And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

²⁸ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܢ ܀

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

²⁹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܪܒ ܠܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

³⁰And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

³⁰ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܙܘ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܀

³¹But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

³¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܐܛܒܘܗܝ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܀

³²But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

³²ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

³³And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

³³ܘܡܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܡܠܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܫܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܐܝܤܪܐܝܠ ܀

³⁴But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

³⁴ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܫܐ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܀

³⁵And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

³⁵ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܟܪܙ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܡܐܤܐ ܟܠ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܢ ܘܟܠ ܟܐܒܝܢ ܀

³⁶But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁶ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܫܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܥܝܐ ܀

³⁷Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

³⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܀ 38 ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ ܀

³⁸supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.

³⁸
