¹ܘܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

¹Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

²ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܕܠܘ ܀

²And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

³ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܀

³For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴ܘܡܢ ܫܘܩܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܕܢܛܪܘܢ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܥܪܤܬܐ ܀

⁴And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

⁵ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܀

⁵Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܦܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܝ ܀

⁶He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

⁷Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁸ܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܟܤܐ ܘܕܩܤܛܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢ ܀

⁸For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁹And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

¹⁰ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܘܟ ܘܠܐܡܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܨܚܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܡܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܀

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܩܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢܝ ܬܐܬܪ ܀

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

¹²ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܠܐܡܗ ܀

¹²And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³ܘܡܤܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܠܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܫܠܡܬܘܢ ܘܕܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

¹³Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

¹⁴ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܀

¹⁴And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

¹⁵ܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܗ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁵There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

¹⁶ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ ܀

¹⁶If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ ܀

¹⁷And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܛܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܪ ܥܐܠ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁸And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

¹⁹ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܠܒܗ ܥܐܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܪܤܗ ܘܡܫܬܕܐ ܒܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܟܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܀

¹⁹Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܡܤܝܒ ܠܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

²⁰And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

²¹ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܪܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܩܛܠܐ ܀

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²ܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܨܚܢܘܬܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܫܒܗܪܢܘܬܐ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܀

²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܓܘ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܢ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

²³All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

²⁴ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܛܫܐ ܀

²⁴And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

²⁵ܡܚܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܒܪܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܀

²⁵For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

²⁶ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܚܢܦܬܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܗ ܀

²⁶The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

²⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܢܤܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܪܡܐ ܠܟܠܒܐ ܀

²⁷But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

²⁸ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܀

²⁸And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

²⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܬܟܝ ܀

²⁹And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܟܕ ܪܡܝܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܢܦܝܩ ܡܢܗ ܫܐܕܗ ܀

³⁰And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

³¹ܬܘܒ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܥܤܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀

³¹And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

³²ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܚܕ ܦܐܩܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ ܀

³²And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

³³ܘܢܓܕܗ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܨܒܥܬܗ ܒܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܪܩ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܠܫܢܗ ܀

³³And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

³⁴ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܚ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܀

³⁴And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܬܪܝ ܐܤܪܐ ܕܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܀

³⁵And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

³⁶ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܘܟܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܙܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀ 37 ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܠܚܪܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܕܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܀

³⁶And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

³⁷

³⁷And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
