¹ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܡܬܠܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܨܒ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܐܚܕܪܗ ܤܝܓܐ ܘܚܦܪ ܒܗ ܡܥܨܪܬܐ ܘܒܢܐ ܒܗ ܡܓܕܠܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܗ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܘܚܙܩ ܀

¹And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

²ܘܫܕܪ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܚܐ ܥܒܕܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ ܢܤܒ ܀

²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

³ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܦܝܩ ܀

³And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

⁴ܘܫܕܪ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܪܓܡܘܗܝ ܘܨܠܦܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܒܨܥܪܐ ܀

⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

⁵ܘܫܕܪ ܬܘܒ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܚܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܀

⁵And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁶ܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܒܪܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܒܪ ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܪܝ ܀

⁶Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁷ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܬܘ ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܀

⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

⁸ܘܢܤܒܘ ܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܪܡܐ ܀

⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁹ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܘܢܬܠܝܘܗܝ ܟܪܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܀

⁹What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

¹⁰ܘܐܦܠܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܪܫܐ ܕܙܘܝܬܐ ܀

¹⁰And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

¹¹ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐ ܒܥܝܢܝܢ ܀

¹¹This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹²ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܐܚܕܗ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܀

¹²And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

¹³ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܢܨܘܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܀

¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

¹⁴ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܩܝܠ ܐܢܬ ܨܦܬܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܐܪ ܐܢܬ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܬܠ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܐܘ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܐܘ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܀

¹⁴And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁵ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܢܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܝܬܘ ܠܝ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܐܚܙܐ ܀

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

¹⁶ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܢܘ ܨܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܤܪ ܀

¹⁶And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

¹⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܩܤܪ ܗܒܘ ܠܩܤܪ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܬܡܗܘ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܀

¹⁷And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

¹⁸ܘܐܬܘ ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܀

¹⁸Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

¹⁹ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܬܒ ܠܢ ܕܐܢ ܡܐܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܢܤܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܙܪܥܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁹Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁰ܫܒܥܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܙܪܥܐ ܀

²⁰Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

²¹ܘܕܬܪܝܢ ܢܤܒܗ ܘܡܝܬ ܟܕ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܫܒܩ ܙܪܥܐ ܘܕܬܠܬܐ ܗܟܘܬ ܀

²¹And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

²²ܘܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܢܤܒܘܗ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܙܪܥܐ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܝܬܬ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܀

²²And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

²³ܒܩܝܡܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒܘܗ ܀

²³In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

²⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁴And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

²⁵ܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܡܘ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁵For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

²⁶ܥܠ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܢ ܤܢܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܀

²⁶And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

²⁷ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܤܓܝ ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

²⁸ܘܩܪܒ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܕܪܫܝܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܝܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܐܝܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

²⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܕܡܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܕ ܗܘ ܀

²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

³⁰ܘܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܟ ܗܢܘ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

³¹ܘܕܬܪܝܢ ܕܕܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܬܚܒ ܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܀

³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³²ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܤܦܪܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܪܒܝ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܚܕ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܗ ܀

³²And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

³³ܘܕܢܪܚܡܝܘܗܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܕܢܪܚܡ ܩܪܝܒܗ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܩܕܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܀

³³And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

³⁴ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܕܚܟܝܡܐܝܬ ܡܦܢܐ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪܚ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܀

³⁴And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

³⁵ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܀

³⁵And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

³⁶ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܟܘܒܫܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ ܀

³⁶For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

³⁷ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܤܝܡܐܝܬ ܀

³⁷David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

³⁸ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܛܠܐ ܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܀

³⁸And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

³⁹ܘܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܒܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܀

³⁹And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

⁴⁰ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܟܝܢ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܀

⁴⁰Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

⁴¹ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܚܐܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܥܘܪܦܢܐ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝ ܀

⁴¹And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

⁴²ܘܐܬܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܫܡܘܢܐ ܀

⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

⁴³ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܀

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

⁴⁴ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܗ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܪܡܝܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܗ ܀

⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
