¹ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

²ܘܐܤܪܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܀

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܐܬܚܝܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܬܘܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܗܦܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܤܦܐ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܀

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܚܛܝܬ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܢ ܡܐ ܠܢ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

⁵ܘܫܕܝܗܝ ܟܤܦܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܫܢܝ ܘܐܙܠ ܚܢܩ ܢܦܫܗ ܀

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

⁶ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܟܤܦܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܕܢܪܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܬ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܝܡܝ ܕܡܐ ܗܘ ܀

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

⁷ܘܢܤܒܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܙܒܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܓܘܪܤܗ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܕܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܀

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁸ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܓܘܪܤܐ ܗܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܀

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܒܝܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܢܤܒܬ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܤܦܐ ܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܩܨܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ܘܝܗܒܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܓܘܪܤܗ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܀

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܡ ܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹²ܘܟܕ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܦܢܝ ܀

¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܟܡܐ ܡܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܀

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܠܐ ܘܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܛܒ ܀

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ܒܟܠ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܚܕ ܠܥܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁶ܐܤܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ܘܟܕ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܡܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܚܤܡܐ ܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁸For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܕܝܢ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܡ ܕܝܠܗ ܫܠܚܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܠܟ ܘܠܗܘ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܤܓܝ ܓܝܪ ܚܫܬ ܒܚܠܡܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܀

¹⁹While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܦܝܤܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢ ܀

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ܘܥܢܐ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܘܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܩܠ ܡܝܐ ܐܫܝܓ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܚܤܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܀

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ܘܥܢܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܡܗ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܢܝܢ ܀

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܘܢܓܕ ܒܦܪܓܠܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܫܠܡܗ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܕܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܠܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܤܦܝܪ ܀

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ܘܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܟܠܡܝܤ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܀

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ܘܓܕܠܘ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܥܘܙܢܝܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܒܪܫܗ ܘܩܢܝܐ ܒܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܒܪܟܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܝܗܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ܘܪܩܘ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܢܝܐ ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܀

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ܘܟܕ ܒܙܚܘ ܒܗ ܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܟܠܡܝܤ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³²ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܫܚܪܘ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܀

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³³ܘܐܬܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܓܓܘܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܬܦܫܩܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܀

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

³⁴ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܕܢܫܬܐ ܚܠܐ ܕܚܠܝܛ ܒܡܪܪܬܐ ܘܛܥܡ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܀

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ܘܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܐ ܀

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

³⁶ܘܝܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܀

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ܘܤܡܘ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܪܫܗ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ܘܐܙܕܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܀

³⁸Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢܝܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܀

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܬܪ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܢ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܘܬ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܀

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܀

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴²ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܢ ܡܠܟܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܚܘܬ ܗܫܐ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܀

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ܬܟܝܠ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܪܩܝܘܗܝ ܗܫܐ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܒܗ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܓܝܤܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܙܕܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ܡܢ ܫܬ ܫܥܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܥܐ ܬܫܥ ܀

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

⁴⁶ܘܠܐܦܝ ܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܠ ܐܝܠ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܀

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

⁴⁷ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܐ ܠܐܠܝܐ ܩܪܐ ܀

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܪܗܛ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܤܦܘܓܐ ܘܡܠܗ ܚܠܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܘܡܫܩܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁹ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܢܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܝܐ ܠܡܦܪܩܗ ܀

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܘܒ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܒܩ ܪܘܚܗ ܀

⁵⁰Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܬ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܀

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵²ܘܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܬܦܬܚܘ ܘܦܓܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܫܟܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܡܘ ܀

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ܘܢܦܩܘ ܘܒܬܪ ܩܝܡܬܗ ܥܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܀

⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܕܥܡܗ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܙܘܥܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝ ܕܚܠܘ ܛܒ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

⁵⁵ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܬܡܢ ܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܀

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁶ܕܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܡܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܕܝܘܤܐ ܘܐܡܗܘܢ ܕܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܀

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܕܐܦ ܗܘ ܐܬܬܠܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

⁵⁸ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܩܕ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܦܓܪܐ ܀

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ܘܫܩܠܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܠܦܓܪܐ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܚܝܨܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܢܩܕܐ ܀

⁵⁹Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ܘܤܡܗ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܢܩܝܪ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܘܥܓܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܀

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܬܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܕܩܒܪܐ ܀

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶²ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܚܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܬܪ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܬܕܟܪܢ ܕܗܘ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܚܝ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁶⁴ܦܩܘܕ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܙܕܗܪܝܢ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܢܓܢܒܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܩܡ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܛܘܥܝܝ ܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

⁶⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ ܙܠܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀ 66 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܘܚܬܡܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܥܡ ܩܤܛܘܢܪܐ ܀

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

⁶⁶

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
