1 WA ba‘dēn Yasū‘ dakhal ag-gāmi‘ wa liqa rāgil īdu mayyit. 2 Wa-n-nās ‘āyanū li-l-Masīḥ fi s̠h̠ān yes̠h̠ūfū in kān mās̠h̠i yes̠h̠fīhu fi yōm as-sabit wallā lā; Wa hum dāyrīn sabab ḥatta yes̠h̠takū ‘alēh. 3 Wa Yasū‘ qāl li-r-rāgil el ‘indu īd mayyit, Aqīf fi-l-wasiṭ. 4 Wa Yasū‘ sa-alhum wa qāl, Neqdar nesawwī al-khēr au as̠h̠-s̠h̠irr fi yōm as-sabit; nekhallis au nektil? Wa sakatū sākit. 5 Wa Yasū‘ ‘āyan li-g-gamī‘ bi za‘al fi s̠h̠ān qulūbahum qāsiya, wa qāl li-r-rāgiḥ Midd īdak. Wa ḥālan īdu biqa ṭayyib mitil at-tāni. 6 Wa-sh-shiyūkh maraqū barra min ag-gāmi‘ yitḥad-disū ma‘a ba‘ḍ fi s̠h̠ān dāyrīn yelqū sabab li yektilū al-Masīḥ.
7 Wa Yasū‘ rauwaḥ li-l-ḥaḥar wa ḥērānu rauwaḥu ma‘u. 8 Wa nās ketīrīn itlammū min kull al-ḥilaḥ lamman simi‘ū al-khabar ‘an ‘agāiyibu. 9 Wa Yasū‘ kallam ḥērānu ye-ḥaddirū lēhu murkab ṣag̠h̠āiyir ‘as̠h̠ān an-nās mā yezḥamūhu. 10 Fi s̠h̠ān huwa s̠h̠afā ketīrīn min al-marḍānīn wa an-nās zaḥamū fōqu li yelqū as̠h̠-s̠h̠ifā min al-lemsa sākit. 11 Wa-l-magānīn lamman s̠h̠afūhu saggadū lehū wa kōrakū wa qālū, Bi-l-ḥaqīqa inta Ibn Allah. 12 Wa huwa mana‘hum min al-ḥadīs da.

Wa Yasū‘ daḵh̠al fi waḥid bēt. 20 Wa nas kutār itlammū ḥatta mā kān fi wakit fi s̠h̠ān yākulū. 21 Wa lamman aṣḥābu simi‘ū bi ḵh̠abaru rauwaḥū lēhu dāyrīn yakhudūhu bi-l-g̠h̠aṣib, wa hum qālū huwa magnūn. 22 Wa-sh-shiyūkh kamān qālū fōqu s̠h̠ētān, wa bi qudrat-Iblīs yemarriq as̠h̠-s̠h̠awāṭīn. 23 Wa Yasū‘ nādāhum wa ḥadḍashum bi-l-amsā lwa qāḥ Kēfin as̠h̠-s̠h̠ēṭān yeqdar yemarriq s̠h̠ēṭān? 24 In kān nuṣṣ mamlaka yeḥarrib an-nuṣṣ at-tāni mā yekūn ḥukum tamām fi-l-mamlaka abadan. 25 Wa in kān ahil al-bēt yes̠h̠ākilū ma‘a iḵh̠wānāhum mā yekūn qudra fi-l-bēt abadan. 26 Wa in kān s̠h̠ēṭān yeqūm ‘ala nafsu wēn qudratu? 27 Zōl mā yeqdar yedḵh̠ul fi bēt rāgil qawwi fi s̠h̠ān yesriq mālu wa huwa fi, illa fi-l-awwil yekrub sīd al-bēt; wa lamman makrūb yeqdar yesriq mālu. 28 Bi-l-ḥaqḍ aqūl lēkum, Gamī‘ zunūb beni-ādam takūn musāmaḥa 29 Wa lākin mā fi, musāmaḥa abadan li-zōl in kān yeqūl s̠h̠ī ḍidd ar-Ruḥ al-Qudus; zanbu fōq raqabtu ilā-l-abad. 30 Wa qāl kadi fi s̠h̠ān qālu fōqu s̠h̠ēṭān.
31 Wa ba‘dēn gū ikhwānu wu ummu wāqfīn barra wa nādūhu. 32 Wa gamī‘ al-gā‘idīn ḥawalēhu qālū lēh, Ahō, ummak wa iḵh̠wānak biyenādūk. 33 Wa huwa qāl, Mīn ummi wa ikhwāni? 34 Wa ‘āyan fōq an-nās al-qā‘idin ma‘u wa qāḵ Ahō, an-nās dēl hum ummi wa ikhwāni. 35 Fi s̠h̠ān az-zōl el ya‘-mil irādat Allah, huwa ākhiwa uḵh̠ti wa ummi.
