| 12 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܘܡܐ ܠܡܨܠܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܪܝ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ܘܠܟܦܪܘܢܐ ܕܢܫܪܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܀ | 12 It was late afternoon when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they cango to the vil ages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here.' |
| 13 ܐܡܪ 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 ܀ | 13 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five loavesand two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for al these people.' |
| 14 ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܤܡܟܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܡܟܐ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܒܤܡܟܐ ܀ | 14 For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in parties ofabout fifty.' |
| 15 ܘܥܒܕܘ ܗܟܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܐܤܡܟܘ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܀ | 15 They did so and made them al sit down. |
| 16 ܘܢܤܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܘܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܩܨܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܀ | 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing overthem; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd. |
| 17 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܒܥܘ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܘܬܪܘ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܀ | 17 They al ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were col ected they fil ed twelvebaskets. |

| 20 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܫܝܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 20 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' hesaid. |
| 21 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܙܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܀ | 21 But he gave them strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone. |
| 22 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܢܚܫ ܘܕܢܤܬܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܀ | 22 He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priestsand scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.' |
| 23 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܀ | 23 Then, speaking to al , he said, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, let him renounce himself andtake up his cross every day and fol ow me. |
| 24 ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܐ ܡܘܒܕ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܢܐ ܡܚܐ ܠܗ ܀ | 24 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, wil save it. |
| 25 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܬܥܕܪ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܐܬܪ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܒܕ ܐܘ ܢܚܤܪ ܀ | 25 What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self? |

| 27 ܫܪܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܛܥܡܘܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 27 'I tel you truly, there are some standing here who wil not taste death before they see the kingdom ofGod.' |

| 29 ܘܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܬܚܠܦ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܪܘ ܘܡܒܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀ | 29 And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing becamesparkling white. |
| 30 ܘܗܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܠܝܐ ܀ | 30 And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah |
| 31 ܕܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܦܩܢܗ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀ | 31 appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. |
| 32 ܘܝܩܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܀ | 32 Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two menstanding with him. |
| 33 ܘܟܕ 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 ܀ | 33 As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let usmake three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying. |
| 34 ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܥܢܢܐ ܘܐܛܠܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܐܠܝܐ ܕܥܠܘ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܀ | 34 As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into thecloud the disciples were afraid. |
| 35 ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘ ܀ | 35 And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.' |
| 36 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܫܬܩܘ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܘ ܀ | 36 And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time,told no one what they had seen. |
| 37 ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀ | 37 Now it happened that on the fol owing day when they were coming down from the mountain a largecrowd came to meet him. |
| 38 ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܝ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܀ | 38 And suddenly a man in the crowd cried out. 'Master,' he said, 'I implore you to look at my son: he is myonly child. |
| 39 ܘܪܘܚܐ ܥܕܝܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܩܥܐ ܘܡܚܪܩ ܫܢܘܗܝ ܘܡܪܥܬ ܘܠܡܚܤܢ ܦܪܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܡܐ ܕܫܚܩܬܗ ܀ | 39 A spirit wil suddenly take hold of him, and all at once it gives a sudden cry and throws the boy intoconvulsions with foaming at the mouth; it is slow to leave him, but when it does, it leaves the boy worn out. |
| 40 ܘܒܥܝܬ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܕܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܀ | 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, and they could not.' |
| 41 ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܥܩܠܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܐܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܤܝܒܪܟܘܢ ܩܪܒܝܗܝ ܠܟܐ ܠܒܪܟ ܀ | 41 In reply Jesus said, 'Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be among you andput up with you? Bring your son here.' |
| 42 ܘܟܕ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܪܡܝܗ ܕܝܘܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܥܤܗ ܘܟܐܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܀ | 42 Even while the boy was coming, the devil threw him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebukedthe unclean spirit and cured the boy and gave him back to his father, |
| 43 ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀ | 43 and everyone was awestruck by the greatness of God. But while everyone was ful of admiration for alhe did, he said to his disciples, |
| 44 ܤܝܡܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܀ | 44 'For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be deliveredinto the power of men.' |

| 46 ܘܥܠܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܪܒ ܒܗܘܢ ܀ | 46 An argument started between them about which of them was the greatest. |
| 47 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܒ ܛܠܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܀ | 47 Jesus knew what thoughts were going through their minds, and he took a little child whom he set byhis side |
| 48 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܙܥܘܪ ܒܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܀ | 48 and then he said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; andanyone who welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. The least among you all is the one who is thegreatest.' |
| 49 ܘܥܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܪܒܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܦܩ ܕܝܘܐ ܒܫܡܟ ܘܟܠܝܢܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܡܢ ܒܬܪܟ ܀ | 49 John spoke up. 'Master,' he said, 'we saw someone driving out devils in your name, and because he isnot with us we tried to stop him.' |
| 50 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܀ | 50 But Jesus said to him, 'You must not stop him: anyone who is not against you is for you.' |
| 51 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܤܘܠܩܗ ܐܬܩܢ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀ | 51 Now it happened that as the time drew near for him to be taken up, he resolutely turned his facetowards Jerusalem |
| 52 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܥܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܩܢܘܢ ܠܗ ܀ | 52 and sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan vil age to makepreparations for him, |
| 53 ܘܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܀ | 53 but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem. |
| 54 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܘܬܚܘܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܬܤܝܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܐܠܝܐ ܥܒܕ ܀ | 54 Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, 'Lord, do you want us to cal down fire from heaven toburn them up?' |
| 55 ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܕܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܀ | 55 But he turned and rebuked them, |

| 57 ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܀ | 57 As they travel ed along they met a man on the road who said to him, 'I wil fol ow you wherever you go.' |

| 59 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܙܠ ܐܩܒܘܪ ܐܒܝ ܀ | 59 Another to whom he said, 'Fol ow me,' replied, 'Let me go and bury my father first.' |
| 60 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩ ܡܝܬܐ ܩܒܪܝܢ ܡܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܙܠ ܤܒܪ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 60 But he answered, 'Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of thekingdom of God.' |
| 61 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟ ܡܪܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܐܙܠ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܀ | 61 Another said, 'I wil fol ow you, sir, but first let me go and say good -- bye to my people at home.' |
| 62 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܪܡܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܦܕܢܐ ܘܚܐܪ ܠܒܤܬܪܗ ܘܚܫܚ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀ | 62 Jesus said to him, 'Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom ofGod.' |
