< John 6 >

1 After these things Jesus went away across the lake of Galilee, that of Tiberias.
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܕܛܒܪܝܘܤ
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought on the diseased.
ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܟܪܝܗܐ
3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and sat there with his disciples.
ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
5 Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, saith to Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?
ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܢܙܒܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ
6 But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was going to do.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܐ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܥܒܕ
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries' worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each one may take a tittle.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܤܦܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܩܠܝܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܤܒ
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him,
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ
9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?
ܐܝܬ ܬܢܢ ܛܠܝܐ ܚܕ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܚܡܫ ܓܪܝܨܢ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ
10 Jesus said, Make the men lie down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men lay down, in number about five thousand.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܤܬܡܟܘܢ ܥܤܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܐܤܬܡܟܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ
11 Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed to those that were lying down; in like manner also of the fishes, as much as they desired.
ܘܫܩܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܒܪܟ ܘܦܠܓ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܨܒܘ
12 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain over, that nothing may be lost.
ܘܟܕ ܤܒܥܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܢܫܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܕܝܬܪܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܡܕܡ
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to those that had eaten.
ܘܟܢܫܘ ܘܡܠܘ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܩܨܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܬܪܘ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܕܤܥܪܐ
14 The men therefore seeing the sign which he wrought, said, This is truly the prophet that was to come into the world.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܚܙܘ ܐܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܘ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
15 Jesus therefore, knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, withdrew again to the mountain alone.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܢܚܛܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ
16 But when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܢܚܬܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܝܡܐ
17 and having gone on board a boat, were going over the lake to Capernaum. And darkness had overtaken them, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
ܘܝܬܒܘ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܘܚܫܟܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ
18 And as a strong wind was blowing, the waves ran high.
ܝܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܩܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܢܫܒܬ ܗܘܬ
19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the lake, and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.
ܘܕܒܪܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܥܤܪܝܢ ܘܚܡܫܐ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܝܡܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܤܦܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ
20 But he saith to them, It is I, be not afraid.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ
21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.
ܘܨܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܒܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
22 The day following, the multitude which stood on the other side of the lake having seen that there was no other boat there but one, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone,
ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܗܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܚܙܘ ܕܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܗܝ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܥܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ
23 (but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread, when the Lord had given thanks; )
ܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܛܒܪܝܘܤ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܒܗ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܒܪܟ ܝܫܘܥ
24 when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they went on board the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܗܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦܠܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ
25 And having found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, Rabbi, when didst thou come hither?
ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܪܟܐ
26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܟܠܬܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܤܒܥܬܘܢ
27 Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man giveth to you; for on him hath the Father set his seal, even God. (aiōnios g166)
ܠܐ ܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܐܒܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܡܩܘܝܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܚܬܡ ܐܠܗܐ (aiōnios g166)
28 Then they said to him, What are we to do, that we may work the works of God?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he sent.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܡܢ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ
30 They said therefore to him, What sign doest thou, that we may see, and believe thee? What dost thou work?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܟ ܡܢܐ ܤܥܪ ܐܢܬ
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”
ܐܒܗܝܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ
32 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Moses hath not given you the bread from heaven; but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܝ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ
33 For the bread of God is that which is coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world.
ܠܚܡܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܚܝܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
34 They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܗܒ ܠܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܢܐ
35 Jesus therefore said to them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me will not hunger; and he that believeth in me will never thirst.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܢܟܦܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܨܗܐ ܠܥܠܡ
36 But I said to you, that ye have even seen, and do not believe.
ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
37 All that the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out;
ܟܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܠܘܬܝ ܢܐܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܦܩܗ ܠܒܪ
38 for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
ܕܢܚܬܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
39 And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.
ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܐܘܒܕ ܡܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who looketh on the Son and believeth in him, shall have everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
ܗܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܕܟܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܒܪܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven;
ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ
42 and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, one whose father and mother we know? How is it then that this man saith, I have come down from heaven?
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܘܤܦ ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܚܬܬ
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܪܛܢܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ
44 No one can come to me, unless the Father, who sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܢܓܕܗ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
45 It is written in the prophets, “And they shall all be taught of God.” Every one that hath heard the Father, and hath learnt from him, cometh to me.
ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܒܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܝܠܦ ܡܢܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ
46 Not that any one hath seen the Father, but he who is from God; he hath seen the Father.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ
47 Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth hath everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.
ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܟܠܘ ܡܢܢܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ
50 This is the bread which is coming down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eat of my bread, he will live for ever. Yea, and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. (aiōn g165)
ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܚܬܬ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܠ ܦܓܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܝܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
ܢܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܢܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ
53 Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܠܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܘܬܫܬܘܢ ܕܡܗ ܠܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܟܘܢ
54 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. (aiōnios g166)
ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܓܪܝ ܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
ܦܓܪܝ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܕܡܝ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܬܝܐ
56 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him.
ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܦܓܪܝ ܘܫܬܐ ܕܡܝ ܒܝ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܗ
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live by reason of me.
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܒܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܢܐܟܠܢܝ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܢܚܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread will live for ever. (aiōn g165)
ܗܢܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܢܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܢܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165)
59 These things he said in a synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This teaching is hard; who can listen to it?
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܩܫܝܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܡܥܗ
61 Jesus therefore knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, and said to them, Doth this offend you?
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܪܛܢܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܡܟܫܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ
62 What then if ye behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?
ܐܢ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܠܩ ܠܐܬܪ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ
63 It is the spirit which maketh alive; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.
ܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܚܝܐ ܦܓܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܗܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܠܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܚܝܐ ܐܢܝܢ
64 But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.
ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܠܡ ܠܗ
65 And he said, For this cause I have told you, that no one can come to me, unless it hath been given him from the Father.
ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܝܗܝܒ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ
66 From this time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܒܤܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ
67 Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Do ye also wish to go away?
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܪܥܤܪܬܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ
68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life; (aiōnios g166)
ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܢܐܙܠ ܡܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ (aiōnios g166)
69 and we have believed and known, that thou art the Holy One of God.
ܘܚܢܢ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܘܝܕܥܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ
70 Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you twelve? and one of you is a devil!
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܝܬܟܘܢ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܘܡܢܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܤܛܢܐ ܗܘ
71 He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for it was he that was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.
ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ
