¹ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

¹It happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,

²ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܬܪ ܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܦܨܚܐ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

² “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܠܕܪܬܗ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܩܝܦܐ ܀

³Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

⁴ܘܐܬܡܠܟܘ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܒܢܟܠܐ ܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁴They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

⁵ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܀

⁵But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”

⁶ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܓܪܒܐ ܀

⁶Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷ܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܡܫܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܤܓܝ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܐܫܦܥܬܗ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܤܡܝܟ ܀

⁷a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

⁸ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

⁸But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

⁹ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܙܕܒܢ ܗܢܐ ܒܤܓܝ ܘܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܀

⁹For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”

¹⁰ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܡܠܐܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܠܘܬܝ ܀

¹⁰However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

¹¹ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹¹ For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

¹²ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܝܬ ܒܤܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܠ ܓܘܫܡܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܩܒܪܢܝ ܥܒܕܬ ܀

¹² For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

¹³ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܟܐ ܕܬܬܟܪܙ ܤܒܪܬܝ ܗܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܢܬܡܠܠ ܐܦ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܗܕܐ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܗ ܀

¹³ Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”

¹⁴ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܠܘܬ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

¹⁵ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܩܝܡܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܤܦܐ ܀

¹⁵and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁶ܘܡܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܦܠܥܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁶From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁷ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܦܛܝܪܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܛܝܒ ܠܟ ܕܬܠܥܤ ܦܨܚܐ ܀

¹⁷Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

¹⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܡܪ ܙܒܢܝ ܡܛܐ ܠܗ ܠܘܬܟ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܦܨܚܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܝ ܀

¹⁸He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”

¹⁹ܘܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܛܝܒܘ ܦܨܚܐ ܀

¹⁹The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

²⁰ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܤܡܝܟ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

²⁰Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

²¹ܘܟܕ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܫܠܡ ܠܝ ܀

²¹As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”

²²ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܒ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܀

²²They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”

²³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܥ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܡܝ ܒܠܓܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܫܠܡܢܝ ܀

²³He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.

²⁴ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܝ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܦܩܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܀

²⁴ The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

²⁵ܥܢܐ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܪܒܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀

²⁵Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”

²⁶ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܫܩܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܐܟܘܠܘ ܗܢܘ ܦܓܪܝ ܀

²⁶As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for TR reads “blessed” instead of “gave thanks for” it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

²⁷ܘܫܩܠ ܟܤܐ ܘܐܘܕܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܐܫܬܘ ܡܢܗ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܀

²⁷He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,

²⁸ܗܢܘ ܕܡܝ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܚܠܦ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܬܐܫܕ ܠܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܀

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܝܠܕܐ ܕܓܦܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܫܬܝܘܗܝ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܚܕܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܀

²⁹ But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

³⁰ܘܫܒܚܘ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܛܘܪ ܙܝܬܐ ܀

³⁰When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

³¹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܬܬܟܫܠܘܢ ܒܝ ܒܗܢܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܚܐ ܠܪܥܝܐ ܘܢܬܒܕܪܘܢ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܥܢܗ ܀

³¹Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ Zechariah 13:7

³²ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܀

³² But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

³³ܥܢܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܦܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܢܬܟܫܠ ܒܟ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܟܫܠ ܒܟ ܀

³³But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

³⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܒܗܢܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܬܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܀

³⁴Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

³⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܡܬ ܥܡܟ ܠܐ ܐܟܦܘܪ ܒܟ ܘܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܀

³⁵Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.

³⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܓܕܤܡܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܬܒܘ ܗܪܟܐ ܥܕ ܐܙܠ ܐܨܠܐ ܀

³⁶Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

³⁷ܘܕܒܪ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܬܟܡܪܘ ܘܠܡܬܥܩܘ ܀

³⁷He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

³⁸ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܗ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܩܘܘ ܠܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܫܗܪܘ ܥܡܝ ܀

³⁸Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”

³⁹ܘܦܪܩ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܐܢ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܢܥܒܪܢܝ ܟܤܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܡ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܢܬ ܀

³⁹He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

⁴⁰ܘܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܡܟܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬܘܢ ܚܕܐ ܫܥܐ ܕܬܫܗܪܘܢ ܥܡܝ ܀

⁴⁰He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

⁴¹ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܨܠܘ ܕܠܐ ܬܥܠܘܢ ܠܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܛܝܒܐ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܪܝܗ ܀

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴²ܬܘܒ ܐܙܠ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܨܠܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܢܐ ܟܤܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܫܬܝܬܗ ܢܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܀

⁴²Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”

⁴³ܘܐܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܫܟܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܕܡܟܝܢ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܩܝܪܢ ܗܘܝ ܀

⁴³He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ܘܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܬܘܒ ܨܠܝ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܀

⁴⁴He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܟܘ ܡܟܝܠ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚܘ ܗܐ ܡܛܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܚܛܝܐ ܀

⁴⁵Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ܩܘܡܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܗܐ ܡܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܠܡ ܠܝ ܀

⁴⁶ Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

⁴⁷ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܐ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܤܪܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܥܡܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܡ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܘܚܘܛܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܀

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ܘܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܕܢܫܩ ܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܠܗ ܐܚܘܕܘ ܀

⁴⁸Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

⁴⁹ܘܡܚܕܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܠܡ ܪܒܝ ܘܢܫܩܗ ܀

⁴⁹Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁵⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܚܒܪܝ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܩܪܒܘ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܀

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹ܘܗܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܘܫܛ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܡܛ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܘܡܚܝܗܝ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܫܩܠܗ ܐܕܢܗ ܀

⁵¹Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁵²ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܗܦܟ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܠܕܘܟܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܤܒܘ ܤܝܦܐ ܒܤܝܦܐ ܢܡܘܬܘܢ ܀

⁵²Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

⁵³ܐܘ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܠܝ ܗܫܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܠܓܝܘܢܝܢ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ ܀

⁵³ Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܬܡܠܘܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܀

⁵⁴ How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

⁵⁵ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܠ ܓܝܤܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܒܤܦܤܪܐ ܘܒܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܬܐܚܕܘܢܢܝ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܡܠܦ ܘܠܐ ܐܚܕܬܘܢܢܝ ܀

⁵⁵In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

⁵⁶ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܘܬ ܕܢܬܡܠܘܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܘܥܪܩܘ ܀

⁵⁶ But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

⁵⁷ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

⁵⁷Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

⁵⁸ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܪܬܗ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܝܬܒ ܠܓܘ ܥܡ ܕܚܫܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܚܪܬܐ ܀

⁵⁸But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁹ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܤܗܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁵⁹Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܤܗܕܐ ܕܫܘܩܪܐ ܐܚܪܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܪܝܢ ܀

⁶⁰and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

⁶¹ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܐܒܢܝܘܗܝ ܀

⁶¹and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

⁶²ܘܩܡ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܦܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܡܢܐ ܡܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܀

⁶²The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”

⁶³ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܫܬܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܢܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܘܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܬܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁶³But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

⁶⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܬܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܥܢܢܝ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

⁶⁴Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

⁶⁵ܗܝܕܝܢ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܨܪܝ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܓܕܦ ܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܢ ܤܗܕܐ ܗܐ ܗܫܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܓܘܕܦܗ ܀

⁶⁵Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

⁶⁶ܡܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܡܘܬܐ ܀

⁶⁶What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

⁶⁷ܗܝܕܝܢ ܪܩܘ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܡܩܦܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

⁶⁷Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

⁶⁸ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܬܢܒܐ ܠܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܟ ܀

⁶⁸saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

⁶⁹ܟܐܦܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܕܪܬܐ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܡܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܀

⁶⁹Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

⁷⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܦܪ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܀

⁷⁰But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

⁷¹ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܠܤܦܐ ܚܙܬܗ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܀

⁷¹When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁷²ܘܬܘܒ ܟܦܪ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܀

⁷²Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”

⁷³ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܩܠܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܩܪܒܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܢܬ ܐܦ ܡܡܠܠܟ ܓܝܪ ܡܘܕܥ ܠܟ ܀

⁷³After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”

⁷⁴ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܚܪܡܘ ܘܠܡܐܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܀ 75 ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܩܕܡ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܬܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܒܪ ܒܟܐ ܡܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܀

⁷⁴Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

⁷⁵

⁷⁵Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.
