¹ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܡܫܡܥܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܀

¹After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

²ܥܒܕܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܚܕ ܥܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܡܬ ܀

²A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

³ܘܫܡܥ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܀

³When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

⁴ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁴When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,

⁵ܪܚܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܥܡܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܝܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܗܘ ܒܢܐ ܠܢ ܀

⁵for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”

⁶ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܤܓܝ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܥܡܠ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܥܘܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܡܛܠܠܝ ܀

⁶Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

⁷ܡܛܠ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܘܝܬ ܕܠܘܬܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܬܐܤܐ ܛܠܝܝ ܀

⁷Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

⁸ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܙܠ ܘܐܙܠ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܬܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܠܥܒܕܝ ܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܀

⁸For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

⁹ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁹When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

¹⁰ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܚܠܝܡ ܀

¹⁰Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

¹¹ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܐܝܢ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

¹¹It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܙܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܘܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܡܗ ܘܗܝ ܐܡܗ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܡܗ ܀

¹²Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

¹³ܚܙܗ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ ܀

¹³When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

¹⁴ܘܐܙܠ ܩܪܒ ܠܥܪܤܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܩܡܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܘܡ ܀

¹⁴He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

¹⁵ܘܝܬܒ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܡܗ ܀

¹⁵He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁶ܘܐܚܕܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܩܡ ܒܢ ܘܤܥܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܡܗ ܀

¹⁶Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

¹⁷ܘܢܦܩܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁷This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

¹⁸ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܀

¹⁸The disciples of John told him about all these things.

¹⁹ܘܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܀

¹⁹John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

²⁰ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܫܕܪܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܀

²⁰When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

²¹ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܤܝ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܀

²¹In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

²²ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܘܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܡܬܕܟܝܢ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܀

²²Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²³ܘܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܫܠ ܒܝ ܀

²³ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²⁴ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܩܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥ ܀

²⁴When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

²⁵ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܒܦܘܢܩܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²⁵ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

²⁶ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷ܗܢܘ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܝ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܟ ܕܢܬܩܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܀

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1

²⁸ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܝܠܝܕܝ ܢܫܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܢܗ ܀

²⁸ “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

²⁹ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܦ ܡܟܤܐ ܙܕܩܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܡܕܘ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܀

²⁹When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

³⁰ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܛܠܡܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܥܡܕܘ ܡܢܗ ܀

³⁰But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

³¹ܠܡܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܕܡܐ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܝܢ ܀

³¹ TR adds “But the Lord said,” “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

³²ܕܡܝܢ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܪܩܕܬܘܢ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܟܝܬܘܢ ܀

³² They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

³³ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܀

³³ For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

³⁴ܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܠܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܘܕܚܛܝܐ ܀

³⁴ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

³⁵ܘܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܗ ܀

³⁵ Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

³⁶ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܢܠܥܤ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܤܬܡܟ ܀

³⁶One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.

³⁷ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܬ ܕܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܝܟ ܢܤܒܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܀

³⁷Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

³⁸ܘܩܡܬ ܒܤܬܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܪܝܬ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܡܨܒܥܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܤܥܪܐ ܕܪܫܗ ܡܫܘܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܘܡܢܫܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܒܤܡܐ ܀

³⁸Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁹ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܘ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܘܡܐ ܛܒܗ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܀

³⁹Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

⁴⁰ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܪܒܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁴⁰Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

⁴¹ܬܪܝܢ ܚܝܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܕ ܡܪܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܀

⁴¹ “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

⁴²ܘܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܫܒܩ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܢܚܒܝܘܗܝ ܀

⁴² When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”

⁴³ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܐܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܕܢܬ ܀

⁴³Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

⁴⁴ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܒܝܬܟ ܥܠܬ ܡܝܐ ܠܪܓܠܝ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܡܥܝܗ ܪܓܠܝ ܨܒܥܬ ܘܒܤܥܪܗ ܫܘܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

⁴⁴Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

⁴⁵ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܢܫܩܬܢܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܥܠܬ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܬ ܪܓܠܝ ܠܡܢܫܩܘ ܀

⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶ܐܢܬ ܡܫܚܐ ܠܪܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܚܬ ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܝ ܡܫܚܬ ܀

⁴⁶ You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷ܚܠܦ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܛܗܝܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܚܒܬ ܤܓܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܠܝܠ ܡܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܚܒ ܀

⁴⁷ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

⁴⁸ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܠܟܝ ܚܛܗܝܟܝ ܀

⁴⁸He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

⁴⁹ܫܪܝܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܛܗܐ ܫܒܩ ܀

⁴⁹Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

⁵⁰ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܝ ܐܚܝܬܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܀

⁵⁰He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
