¹ܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.

²ܘܚܙܐ ܐܦ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܝܬ ܫܡܘܢܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܀

²He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins. literally, “two lepta.” 2 lepta was about 1% of a day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.

³ܘܐܡܪ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܡܤܟܢܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܀

³He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,

⁴ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܗ ܟܠ ܕܩܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܪܡܝܬܗ ܀

⁴ for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”

⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܒܟܐܦܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܘܒܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܨܒܬ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁵As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,

⁶ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܒܩ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܕܠܐ ܬܤܬܬܪ ܀

⁶ “As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”

⁷ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܝܢ ܀

⁷They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”

⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܠܡܐ ܬܛܥܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܒܫܡܝ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܀

⁸He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he or, I AM ,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

⁹ܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܘܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܥܬܝܕܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܡܛܬ ܚܪܬܐ ܀

⁹ When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”

¹⁰ܢܩܘܡ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܠܟܘ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘ ܀

¹⁰Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

¹¹ܘܙܘܥܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܕܘܟܐ ܕܘܟܐ ܘܟܦܢܐ ܘܡܘܬܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܤܘܪܕܐ ܘܐܬܘܬܐ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܬܚܙܝܢ ܘܤܬܘܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܀

¹¹ There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

¹²ܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܘܢܪܕܦܘܢܟܘܢ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܢܩܪܒܘܢܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܀

¹² But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

¹³ܗܘܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܀

¹³ It will turn out as a testimony for you.

¹⁴ܤܝܡܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܝܠܦܝܢ ܠܡܦܩ ܪܘܚܐ ܀

¹⁴ Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

¹⁵ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܩܡ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

¹⁶ܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܚܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܡܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁶ You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.

¹⁷ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܀

¹⁷ You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

¹⁸ܘܡܢܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܫܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܒܕ ܀

¹⁸ And not a hair of your head will perish.

¹⁹ܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܩܢܘܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁹ “By your endurance you will win your lives.

²⁰ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܚܕܝܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܚܘܪܒܗ ܀

²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

²¹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܓܘܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܘܕܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܀

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

²²ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܬܒܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܠܡ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܀

²² For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³ܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܛܢܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢܩܢ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܪܘܓܙܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

²³ Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

²⁴ܘܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܘܢܫܬܒܘܢ ܠܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܬܕܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܀

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܒܫܡܫܐ ܘܒܤܗܪܐ ܘܒܟܘܟܒܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܘܦܘܫܟ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܗܬܐ ܕܩܠܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܀

²⁵ There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ܘܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܦܩ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܬܬܙܝܥܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁶ men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܥܡ ܚܝܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܪܒܐ ܀

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܬܠܒܒܘ ܘܐܪܝܡܘ ܪܫܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܟܘܢ ܀

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܠܬܬܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܀

²⁹He told them a parable. “See the fig tree, and all the trees.

³⁰ܕܡܐ ܕܡܦܪܥܝܢ ܡܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܩܝܛܐ ܀

³⁰ When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

³¹ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³¹ Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.

³²ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܀

³² Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.

³³ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܘܡܠܝ ܠܐ ܢܥܒܪܢ ܀

³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

³⁴ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܢܐܩܪܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܘܒܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܨܦܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁴ “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

³⁵ܐܝܟ ܨܦܚܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܨܦܚ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗ ܕܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

³⁵ For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.

³⁶ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܫܗܪܝܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܕܬܫܘܘܢ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܘܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

³⁶ Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

³⁷ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܬ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܀

³⁷Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

³⁸ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܗ ܀

³⁸All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
