¹ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܦ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ

¹And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

²ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܡܬܠܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܀

²And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

³ܫܡܥܘ ܗܐ ܢܦܩ ܙܪܘܥܐ ܠܡܙܪܥ ܀

³Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

⁴ܘܟܕ ܙܪܥ ܐܝܬ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܘܐܟܠܬܗ ܀

⁴And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

⁵ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܒܠܨ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܘܡܩܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀

⁵And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

⁶ܟܕ ܕܢܚ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܫܐ ܚܡܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܩܪܐ ܝܒܫ ܀

⁶But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

⁷ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܚܢܩܘܗܝ ܘܦܐܪܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܀

⁷And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

⁸ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܘܪܒܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܫܬܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܡܐܐ ܀

⁸And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ ܀

⁹And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁰ܟܕ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܥܡ ܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ ܀

¹⁰And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

¹¹ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܡܕܥ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܒܪܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܡܬܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹¹And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

¹²ܕܟܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܢܫܬܒܩܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹²That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

¹³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܀

¹³And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

¹⁴ܙܪܘܥܐ ܕܙܪܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܙܪܥ ܀

¹⁴The sower soweth the word.

¹⁵ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܝܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܙܕܪܥܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܐ ܤܛܢܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܙܪܝܥܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

¹⁶ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܐܙܕܪܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁶And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

¹⁷ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܩܪܐ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܘ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܓܠ ܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ ܀

¹⁷And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

¹⁸ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ ܡܙܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܀

¹⁸And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

¹⁹ܘܪܢܝܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܥܐܠܢ ܚܢܩܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܀

¹⁹And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

²⁰ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܙܕܪܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܘܝܗܒܝܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܒܫܬܝܢ ܘܒܡܐܐ ܀

²⁰And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

²¹ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܫܪܓܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܤܐܬܐ ܢܬܬܤܝܡ ܐܘ ܬܚܝܬ ܥܪܤܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܠ ܡܢܪܬܐ ܢܬܬܤܝܡ ܀

²¹And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

²²ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܛܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܓܠܐ ܀

²²For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

²³ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ ܀

²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

²⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܡܢܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܟܝܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܬܬܟܝܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܬܘܤܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܀

²⁴And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

²⁵ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗ ܀

²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

²⁶ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܪܡܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܀

²⁶And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

²⁷ܘܢܕܡܟ ܘܢܩܘܡ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܙܪܥܐ ܢܪܒܐ ܘܢܐܪܟ ܟܕ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܀

²⁷And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

²⁸ܐܪܥܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܝܬܝܐ ܠܗ ܠܦܐܪܐ ܘܠܘܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ܥܤܒܐ ܘܒܬܪܗ ܫܒܠܐ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܚܛܬܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܬܐ ܒܫܒܠܐ ܀

²⁸For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

²⁹ܡܐ ܕܫܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܝܐ ܡܓܠܐ ܕܡܛܝ ܚܨܕܐ ܀

²⁹But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

³⁰ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܢܐ ܢܕܡܝܗ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܢܡܬܠܝܗ ܀

³⁰And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

³¹ܐܝܟ ܦܪܕܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܪܕܠܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܙܕܪܥܬ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܪܥܘܢܐ ܕܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

³²ܘܡܐ ܕܐܙܕܪܥܬ ܤܠܩܐ ܘܗܘܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܪܩܘܢܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܤܘܟܐ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܬܫܟܚ ܕܒܛܠܠܗ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܬܫܟܢ ܀

³²But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

³³ܒܡܬܠܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܀

³³And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

³⁴ܘܕܠܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗܘܢ ܡܦܫܩ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܀

³⁴But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

³⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܢܥܒܪ ܠܢ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܀

³⁵And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

³⁶ܘܫܒܩܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܤܦܝܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀

³⁶And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

³⁷ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܘܓܠܠܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܀

³⁷And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

³⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܒܤܕܝܐ ܕܡܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܪܬܗ ܕܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܐܩܝܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܟ ܕܐܒܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܀

³⁸And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

³⁹ܘܩܡ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܡܐ ܫܠܝ ܙܓܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܢܘܚܐ ܪܒܐ ܀

³⁹And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

⁴⁰ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܚܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܢ ܘܠܡܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀ 41 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܗܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܡܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

⁴⁰And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

⁴¹

⁴¹And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
