¹ܒܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܛܛܪܪܟܐ ܫܡܥܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܗܢܘ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܤܬܥܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܀

²And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

³ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܐܚܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܪܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܀

³For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

⁴ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܀

⁴For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

⁵ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܘܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܒܝܐ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

⁵And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

⁶ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܠܕܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܪܩܕܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܤ ܀

⁶But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

⁷ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܀

⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

⁸ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܠܦܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܐܡܗ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܀

⁸And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

⁹ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܤܡܝܟܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܀

⁹And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

¹⁰ܘܫܕܪ ܦܤܩܗ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀

¹⁰And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

¹¹ܘܐܝܬܝ ܪܫܗ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܬܗ ܠܐܡܗ ܀

¹¹And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

¹²ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܩܒܪܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܚܘܝܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹²And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

¹³ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܒܝܒܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀

¹³When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

¹⁴ܘܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܝ ܟܪܝܗܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁴And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

¹⁵ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܀

¹⁵And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܀

¹⁶But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

¹⁷ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܬܢܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܫ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܀

¹⁷And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

¹⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀

¹⁸He said, Bring them hither to me.

¹⁹ܘܦܩܕ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܠܡܤܬܡܟܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܤܡܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁹And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

²⁰ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܬܪܐ ܕܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܀

²⁰And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

²¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܠܦܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܀

²¹And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

²²ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܠܨ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܩܘܢ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܥܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

²²And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

²³ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܟܕ ܚܫܟܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܀

²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

²⁴ܘܐܠܦܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܬܓܫܐ ܤܓܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܗܘܬ ܀

²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

²⁵ܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܀

²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

²⁶ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܗܘܢ ܩܥܘ ܀

²⁶And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

²⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܀

²⁷But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

²⁸ܘܥܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܦܩܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܀

²⁸And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

²⁹ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

³⁰ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܫܝܐ ܕܚܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܛܒܥ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܩܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ ܀

³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

³¹ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܦܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܐܚܕܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܬܦܠܓܬ ܀

³¹And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

³²ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܀

³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

³³ܘܐܬܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܦܐ ܤܓܕܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³³Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

³⁴ܘܪܕܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܤܪ ܀

³⁴And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

³⁵ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܀ 36 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܐܦܢ ܠܟܢܦܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܠܒܘܫܗ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܒܘ ܐܬܐܤܝܘ ܀

³⁵And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

³⁶

³⁶And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
