¹ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

²ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܬܐ ܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܀

²So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

³ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܕܢܪܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܐ ܤܓܝ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܡܫܚܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܝܚܗ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܀

³Mary, therefore, took a pound a Roman pound of 12 ounces, or about 340 grams of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܀

⁴Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

⁵ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܕܒܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܠܬ ܡܐܐ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܀

⁵“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a year’s wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor?”

⁶ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܓܠܘܤܩܡܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܀

⁶Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

⁷ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝܗ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܒܘܪܝ ܢܛܪܬܗ ܀

⁷But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

⁸ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

⁹ܘܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁹A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹⁰ܘܐܬܪܥܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

¹⁰But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

¹¹ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

¹²ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

¹²On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹³ܫܩܠܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܕܕܩܠܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

¹³they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Psalm 118:25-26 the King of Israel!”

¹⁴ܐܫܟܚ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܀

¹⁴Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

¹⁵ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܟܟܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܟܝ ܘܪܟܝܒ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܒܪ ܐܬܢܐ ܀

¹⁵“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” Zechariah 9:9

¹⁶ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁶His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

¹⁷ܘܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

¹⁷The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

¹⁸ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܒܬܪܗ ܀

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

²⁰ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܡܤܓܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܀

²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

²¹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

²¹These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

²²ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

²²Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

²³ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²³Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²⁴ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܛܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܦܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܝܬܝܐ ܀

²⁴ Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁵ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܤܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܛܪܝܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

²⁶ܐܢ ܠܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܝܩܪܝܘܗܝ ܐܒܐ ܀

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

²⁷ܗܫܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܐ ܫܓܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܦܨܢܝ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܀

²⁷ “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But for this cause I came to this time.

²⁸ܐܒܐ ܫܒܚ ܫܡܟ ܘܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܒܚܬ ܘܬܘܒ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ ܀

²⁸ Father, glorify your name!” Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

²⁹ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܥܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܀

²⁹The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

³⁰ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀

³⁰Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

³¹ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ ܀

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

³²ܘܐܢܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܪܝܡܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܓܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܠܘܬܝ ܀

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

³³ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܐܬ ܀

³³But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

³⁴ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܡܥܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܩܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

³⁴The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44 (but see also Isaiah 53:8) How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܗܠܟܘ ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܀

³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

³⁶ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܬܛܫܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܀

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

³⁷ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܀

³⁷But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

³⁸ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢ ܠܫܡܥܢ ܘܕܪܥܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܀

³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1

³⁹ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܀

³⁹For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

⁴⁰ܕܥܘܪܘ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܚܫܟܘ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܐܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

⁴⁰“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.” Isaiah 6:10

⁴¹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

⁴¹Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Isaiah 6:1

⁴²ܐܦ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܀

⁴²Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

⁴³ܪܚܡܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴³for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

⁴⁴ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

⁴⁴Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

⁴⁵ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܚܙܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

⁴⁵ He who sees me sees him who sent me.

⁴⁶ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܀

⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

⁴⁷ܘܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

⁴⁷ If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

⁴⁸ܡܢ ܕܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܕܕܐܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

⁴⁸ He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

⁴⁹ܕܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ ܀

⁴⁹ For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

⁵⁰ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܗ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁵⁰ I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
