¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܟܪܙܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܀

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܬܫܩܠܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܤܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴ܘܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܦܘܩܘ ܀

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵ܘܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܦ ܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܦܨܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܀

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶ܘܢܦܩܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܬܟܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܐܤܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟ ܀

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁷ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܛܛܪܪܟܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܩܡ ܀

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܢܐ ܦܤܩܬ ܡܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ ܀

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰ܘܟܕ ܗܦܟܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܘܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܀

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹ܟܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܐܤܝܘܬܐ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹²ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܘܡܐ ܠܡܨܠܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ܘܠܟܦܪܘܢܐ ܕܢܫܪܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܀

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܙܠܢܢ ܘܙܒܢܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܀

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܤܡܟܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܡܟܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܒܤܡܟܐ ܀

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵ܘܥܒܕܘ ܗܟܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܐܤܡܟܘ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶ܘܢܤܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܘܬܪܘ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܀

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸ܘܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܫܐܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܀

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܩܡ ܀

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܫܝܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܀

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܢܚܫ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܀

²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܀

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²⁴ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܐ ܡܘܒܕ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܢܐ ܡܚܐ ܠܗ ܀

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁵ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܬܪ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܒܕ ܐܘ ܢܚܤܪ ܀

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶ܡܢ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܘܒܡܠܝ ܢܒܗܬ ܒܗ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܥܡܘܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁸ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܡܢܝܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܀

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹ܘܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܬܚܠܦ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܪܘ ܘܡܒܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰ܘܗܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܠܝܐ ܀

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹ܕܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܦܩܢܗ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²ܘܝܩܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܦܪܫ ܡܢܗ ܐܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܪܒܝ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܢ ܕܗܪܟܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܬܠܬ ܡܛܠܝܢ ܠܟ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܡܘܫܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܀

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܥܢܢܐ ܘܐܛܠܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܕܥܠܘ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܀

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘ ܀

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܫܬܩܘ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܘ ܀

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁸ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܝ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܀

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ܘܪܘܚܐ ܥܕܝܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܩܥܐ ܘܡܚܪܩ ܫܢܘܗܝ ܘܡܪܥܬ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܦܪܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܡܐ ܕܫܚܩܬܗ ܀

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰ܘܒܥܝܬ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܕܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܀

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܥܩܠܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܝܒܪܟܘܢ ܩܪܒܝܗܝ ܠܟܐ ܠܒܪܟ ܀

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴²ܘܟܕ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܪܡܝܗ ܕܝܘܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܥܤܗ ܘܟܐܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܀

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ܤܝܡܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܘܕܥܘܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܟܤܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܕܥܘܢܗ ܘܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܥܠܝܗ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ܘܥܠܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܪܒ ܒܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܒ ܛܠܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܥܘܪ ܒܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܀

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹ܘܥܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܪܒܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܫܡܟ ܘܟܠܝܢܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܡܢ ܒܬܪܟ ܀

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܀

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܤܘܠܩܗ ܐܬܩܢ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܥܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܩܢܘܢ ܠܗ ܀

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³ܘܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܀

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܘܬܚܘܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܬܤܝܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܕܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܀

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܢܦܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܀

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܀

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܥܠܐ ܢܩܥܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠܠܐ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܤܡܘܟ ܪܫܗ ܀

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܙܠ ܐܩܒܘܪ ܐܒܝ ܀

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩ ܡܝܬܐ ܩܒܪܝܢ ܡܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܙܠ ܤܒܪ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܡܪܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܐܙܠ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܀

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶²ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܦܕܢܐ ܘܚܐܪ ܠܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܚܫܚ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
