¹ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܠܐ ܘܦܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܀

¹Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

²ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܀

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

³ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܀

³Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

⁴ܕܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܟܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܀

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

⁵He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

⁶ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

⁶It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁷ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܐܤܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀

⁷The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܩܘܡ ܬܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܨܥܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܡ ܀

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܘ ܕܒܝܫ ܢܦܫܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܀

⁹Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

¹⁰ܘܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ ܀

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹¹But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹²ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܬܡܢ ܐܓܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹²It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³ܘܟܕ ܢܓܗܬ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܓܒܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܫܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴ܫܡܥܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ ܀

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵ܘܡܬܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܛܢܢܐ ܀

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܀

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁷ܘܢܚܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܡ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪ ܝܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܀

¹⁷He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸ܕܐܬܘ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܬܗ ܘܕܢܬܐܤܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܐܠܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁹ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

²⁰ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܕܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁰He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²¹ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܦܢܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܤܒܥܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܠܕܒܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܓܚܟܘܢ ܀

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²²ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܦܩܝܢ ܫܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܝܫܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²³ܚܕܘ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܕܘܨܘ ܕܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܀

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²⁴ܒܪܡ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܒܘܝܐܟܘܢ ܀

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁵ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܥܐ ܕܬܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܕܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܐܒܠܘܢ ܀

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁶ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܀

²⁶ Woe, TR adds “to you” when TR adds “all” men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁷ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸ܘܒܪܟܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܛܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܀

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹ܘܠܕܡܚܐ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܦܟܟ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܡܪܛܘܛܟ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܘܬܝܢܟ ܀

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

³⁰ܠܟܠ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܟ ܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܥ ܀

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³¹ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܟܘܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³²ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܀

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³³ܘܐܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܐܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³⁴ܘܐܢ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܢܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܀

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁵ܒܪܡ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܛܐܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܘܙܦܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܦܤܩܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܤܓܝ ܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܪܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܦܘܪܐ ܀

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁶ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁷ܠܐ ܬܕܘܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܪܘ ܘܬܫܬܪܘܢ ܀

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁸ܗܒܘ ܘܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܝܠܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܪܩܝܥܬܐ ܘܡܫܦܥܬܐ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܥܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܟܝܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܬܬܟܝܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

³⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܤܡܝܐ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܀

³⁹He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܓܡܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ ܀

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴¹ܡܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܠܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܀

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴²ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܐܚܝ ܫܒܘܩ ܐܦܩ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܗܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܢܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܦܩ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܀

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

⁴³ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܀

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܛܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܒܐ ܬܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܤܢܝܐ ܩܛܦܝܢ ܥܢܒܐ ܀

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁵ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠܢ ܤܦܘܬܐ ܀

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁶ܡܢܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܪܝ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

⁴⁷ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܡܐ ܀

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁸ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܚܦܪ ܘܥܡܩ ܘܤܡ ܫܬܐܤܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܐ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܡܠܐܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܙܝܥܝܘܗܝ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܬܐܤܬܗ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܀

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁹ܘܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܗ ܥܠ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܒܗ ܢܗܪܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܢܦܠ ܘܗܘܬ ܡܦܘܠܬܗ ܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܀

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
