ܠܘܩܘܣ 20

1 ܘܗܘܐ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܩܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ

And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,

2 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ

And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?

3 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܝ

And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:

4 ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ

The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?

5 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢܝܗܝ

And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?

6 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܓܡ ܠܢ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ

But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.

7 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܝ

Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

8 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ

Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.

9 ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܨܒ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܗ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܘܐܒܥܕ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ

Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.

10 ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܥܒܕܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ

And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.

11 ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܨܥܪܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ

Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.

12 ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܨܠܦܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ

Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.

13 ܐܡܪ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܫܕܪ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܟܒܪ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܟܚܕܘܢ

Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.

14 ܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܬܘ ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ

But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

15 ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ

So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?

16 ܢܐܬܐ ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܠ ܟܪܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ

He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.

17 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܪܝܫ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܙܘܝܬܐ

And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?

18 ܘܟܠ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܬܪܥܥ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܗܝ ܬܦܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܕܪܝܘܗܝ

Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.

19 ܒܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ

Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.

20 ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܫܘܫܐ ܕܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܙܕܝܩܐ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܘܠܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܗܓܡܘܢܐ

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.

21 ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܠܦ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.

22 ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܐܘ ܠܐ

Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?

23 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܟܠ ܚܪܥܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ

But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?

24 ܚܘܐܘܢܝ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܨܠܡܐ ܘܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܤܪ

Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.

25 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܒܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܤܪ ܠܩܤܪ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ

Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.

26 ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܡܢܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܥܠ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܘܫܬܩܘ

And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.

27 ܩܪܒܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ

Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

28 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܬܒ ܠܢ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܘܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܙܪܥܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ

Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

29 ܫܒܥܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ

Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.

30 ܘܢܤܒܗ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܗܢܐ ܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ

And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.

31 ܘܕܬܠܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܢܤܒܗ ܘܗܟܘܬ ܘܐܦ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܒܢܝܐ

Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.

32 ܘܡܝܬܬ ܒܚܪܬܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܬܐ

And last of all the woman dyed also.

33 ܒܩܝܡܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒܘܗ

Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.

34 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ (aiōn g165)

Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)

35 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܗܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܫܘܘ ܘܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ (aiōn g165)

But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)

36 ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܡܬ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ

For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.

37 ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܦ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܕܩ ܐܕܟܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܢܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ

And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.

38 ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗ

For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.

39 ܘܥܢܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ

Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.

40 ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪܚܘ ܠܡܫܐܠܘܬܗ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ

And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.

41 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܕܘܝܕ

Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?

42 ܘܗܘ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ

And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

43 ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ

Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.

44 ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܪܝ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ

Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?

45 ܘܟܕ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ

Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,

46 ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܐܤܛܠܐ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܒܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ

Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:

47 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܟܝܢ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ

Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
