¹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܦܩ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܪܓܠܬܐ ܕܩܕܪܘܢ ܐܬܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܓܢܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܥܠ ܗܘ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

¹When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

²ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝ ܙܒܢܐ ܟܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

²And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

³ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܕܒܪ ܐܤܦܝܪ ܘܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܒܪ ܕܚܫܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܡܢ ܥܡ ܢܦܛܪܐ ܘܠܡܦܝܕܐ ܘܙܝܢܐ ܀

³Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܢܦܩ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

⁵ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀

⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

⁶ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܒܤܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

⁶As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷ܬܘܒ ܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܀

⁷Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢ ܠܝ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܀

⁸Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

⁹ܕܬܫܠܡ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܐܘܒܕܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕ ܀

⁹That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

¹⁰ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܘܫܡܛܗ ܘܡܚܝܗܝ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܫܩܠܗ ܐܕܢܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܡܠܟ ܀

¹⁰Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

¹¹ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܤܝܡ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܒܚܠܬܗ ܟܤܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹¹Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

¹²ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܦܝܪ ܘܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܕܚܫܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܤܪܘܗܝ ܀

¹²Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

¹³ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܚܢܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܡܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܝܦܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܀

¹³And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

¹⁴ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܝܦܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܟ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܦܩܚ ܕܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܀

¹⁴Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁵ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܪܬܐ ܀

¹⁵And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

¹⁶ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܠܘܬ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܢܛܪܬ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܐܥܠܗ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܀

¹⁶But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

¹⁷ܐܡܪܬ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܡܬܐ ܢܛܪܬ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܀

¹⁷Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

¹⁸ܘܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܕܚܫܐ ܘܤܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܢܘܪܐ ܕܢܫܚܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܫܚܢ ܀

¹⁸And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

¹⁹ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܐܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܥܠ ܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܀

¹⁹The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

²⁰ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡ ܥܡܐ ܘܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܠܦܬ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܀

²⁰Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

²¹ܡܢܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܫܐܠ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܀

²¹Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

²²ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܕܚܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܚܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܦܟܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܬ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

²²And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܡܠܠܬ ܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܚܝܬܢܝ ܀

²³Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

²⁴ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܕܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪ ܠܘܬ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

²⁴Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁵ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܚܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܘܗܘ ܟܦܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܀

²⁵And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܐܚܝܢܗ ܕܗܘ ܕܦܤܩ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܕܢܗ ܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܙܝܬܟ ܥܡܗ ܒܓܢܬܐ ܀

²⁶One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

²⁷ܘܬܘܒ ܟܦܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܀

²⁷Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

²⁸ܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܩܝܦܐ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܘ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܘܫܘܢ ܥܕ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܦܨܚܐ ܀

²⁸Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

²⁹ܢܦܩ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܒܪ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

²⁹Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

³⁰ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܟ ܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

³⁰They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

³¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܘܒܪܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܕܘܢܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܢܡܘܤܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܠܡܩܛܠ ܠܐܢܫ ܀

³¹Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

³²ܕܬܫܠܡ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܘܕܥ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܡܘܬ ܀

³²That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

³³ܥܠ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܗܘܢ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³³Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

³⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܕܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܟ ܥܠܝ ܀

³⁴Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

³⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܢܝ ܥܡܟ ܗܘ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܐܫܠܡܘܟ ܠܝ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܀

³⁵Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

³⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܠܟܘܬܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܝ ܡܬܟܬܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܫܡܫܢܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܟܐ ܀

³⁶Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

³⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܡܕܝܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܕܐ ܝܠܝܕ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܗܕܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܫܡܥ ܩܠܝ ܀

³⁷Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

³⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܡܢܘ ܫܪܪܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܕܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܀

³⁸Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

³⁹ܥܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܦܨܚܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³⁹But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

⁴⁰ܘܩܥܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܓܝܤܐ ܀

⁴⁰Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
