THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

384

LUKE: CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1 S1.1

Because many have desired to write and to tell of the matters which were completed in us,

S1.2

How they delivered them to us, who were observers from the beginning, and ministers of the word,

S1.3

It seems to me good, even to me, who examined all those things from the beginning, each one of them carefully, to write to you, distinguished Theophilus,

S1.4

So that you will know the truth of the words in which you have been instructed.

S1.5

It came to pass in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, whose name was Zechariah, of the order of Abia; and his wife was the daughter of Aaron, her name was Elisabeth;1

S1.6

Now the two of them were righteous before God, and they walked in all his commandments and in the righteousness of the Lord, and were blameless in all their living.

S1.7

But they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and both of them had many days (i.e. “were aged”).

S1.8

Now it came to pass, as he was serving in the order of the priests before God,

S1.9

According to the service of the priests, it was his turn to carry in the incense, and when he went into the temple,

S1.10

Many of the people were standing and praying at the time of the incense.

S1.11

And an angel of the Lord appeared to Zachariah as he was standing to the right of the incense altar. 1

i.e. Elishava‘

LUKE: CHAPTER 1

S1.12

And he was troubled and shaken when he saw the angel, and fear fell upon him.

S1.13

The angel said to him, Do not fear Zechariah, for behold God has heard the sound of your prayers, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.

S1.14

And you will have joy and pride, and many will will rejoice at his birth.

S1.15

Because he will be great before the Lord, and he will not drink wine liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while he is in his mother’s womb.

S1.16

And many of the . . . (text broken) . . . . . . . . . .

S1.39

And Mary arose in those days and went up carefully into the mountain(s) to a city of Judah.

S1.40

And she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

S1.41

And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the fetus lept within her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

S1.42

And she cried out in a loud voice and said to Mary, You are blessed among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

S1.43

What is this that he has done for me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

S1.44

For behold, when the sound of your greeting fell upon my ears, the fetus in my womb leapt with great joy.

LUKE: CHAPTER 1

S1.45

And blessed is she who believes1 there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told to her by the Lord.

S1.46

And Mary said, my soul magnifies the Lord.

S1.47

And my spirit rejoices in God the life-giver.2

S1.48

Who beheld the lowliness of his handmaid, for from now on the generations will call me blessed.

S1.49

Who has done great things for me; praiseworthy and holy is the name!

S1.50

Who is gracious for generations3 and upon nations to those who fear him.

S1.51

And he made strength in his arm and scattered the fantasies of the proud.

S1.52

And he has brought the mighty down from their seats and exalted the lowly.

S1.53

And he filled the poor from his goodness and treated the rich with contempt because they were vain.

S1.54

And he has taken care of Israel, his son.4 And he remembered his mercy. In the other Syriac versions, this verb is in the past tense, but the present tense is certainly more dynamic. 2 The word ‫ܐ‬ can also be translated as “Savior,” but the more common word for “savior” in Syriac is ‫ ܘ ܐ‬, which focusses more on the act of redemption, while ‫ܐ‬ has the basic sense of “life giver” and hence focusses on a different aspect of the Savior’s activity. 3 The translation of “from generation to generation” does not work in Syriac because it uses two different words (except in the Harklean version). Even though both of these words do indeed have “generation” as one meaning, the second word - ‫ ܒ ܐ‬- also means “people,” “tribe,” “nation” etc. Therefore the Syriac is trying to convey something other than the length of time; instead it appears to speak to the breadth of that mercy in affecting all people as well as to the fact that it will always be operative. 4 It may have some theological significance that Israel is here called his “son” rather than his “servant.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 1

S1.55

As he spoke to our fathers, with Abraham, and with his seed forever.

S1.56

Now Mary stayed with Elisabeth about three months and returned to her home.

S1.57

And when Elizabeth’s gestation period was completed she gave birth to a son.

S1.58

And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had multiplied his mercy toward her and they rejoiced with her.

S1.59

And it came to pass, on the eighth day they came to circumcise the boy, and they called him by the name of his father, Zechariah.

S1.60

And his mother said, Not so, but he will be called John.

S1.61

And they said to her, there is no one in your family called by the name of John.

S1.62

And they also spoke to his father about how he wanted him to be called.

S1.63

And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote on it that John was his name.

S1.64

And immediately the binding of his tongue was loosened and he blessed God and they were all amazed.

S1.65

And there was fear upon all of their neighbors and all these things were told throughout Mount Judah.

S1.66

And they put it in their hearts and said, What will this child be, that the hand of the Lord is with him?

S1.67

And Zechariah, his father, was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied saying:

LUKE: CHAPTER 1

S1.68

Blessed be the God of Israel who looked after his people and worked redemption for them.

S1.69

And he has raised up for us a horn of life in the house of his servant, David.

S1.70

As he said by the mouth of his holy prophets since always,

S1.71

And snatched us for life from the hand of our enemies, and from all who hate us.

S1.72

Who will work mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant.

S1.73

The oath which he swore to Abraham our father, which he gave us.

S1.74

That without fear we would be freed from the hands of our enemies, that we might serve him.

S1.75

In rectitude and righteousness all the days of our lives.

S1.76

And you child will be called the prophet of the most high. You will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his way.

S1.77

To give knowledge of life1 to his people in the remission of sins.

S1.78

Because of the compassionate mercy of our God by which the sunrise from on high will visit us.

S1.79

It will shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadows of death, to guide our feet in the way of perfection.

S1.80

Now the boy grew and became stronger in spirit and he fled to the desert until the day of showing himself to Israel.

1 The Syriac word ‫ܐ‬ literally means “life.” It can also be translated in some contexts as “salvation” because salvation is life as opposed to sin, which is death.

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2 S2.1

And it came to pass in those days that Augustus Caesar decreed that all the earth should be enrolled.1

S2.2

Now this enrollment was in the years that Cyrenius was governor of Syria.

S2.3

So every man went to be enrolled by his own city. He went to the place where he would be enrolled.

S2.4

And Joseph also went up from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to Judah, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because both of them were of the house of David;

S2.5

He and Mary, his wife, when she was pregnant, to be enrolled.

S2.6

And when they were there, the days were fulfilled to give birth.

S2.7

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, for there was no place for them.

S2.8

Now there were in that same place shepherds, and they were watching and keeping guard over their sheep.

S2.9

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, standing, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them, and they feared greatly.2

S2.10

The angel said to them, Do not fear, for behold I bring you news of great joy, which is for all the world.

1 2

I.e. for tax purposes. Lit. “feared a great fear.”

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

S2.11

That a savior has been born to you today, the anointed Lord,1 in the city of David.

S2.12

Behold, I will give you a sign. You will find the child wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger.

S2.13

And suddenly there appeared to him hosts and many heavenly angels praising God and saying:

S2.14

Praise to God in the highest, and peace on the earth and goodwill2 to men.

S2.15

After the angels had left them (lit. “their presence”) for heaven, the shepherds said to each other, Come, let us gird ourselves for Bethlehem and let us see this thing that has happened as the angels showed us.

S2.16

And they went quickly and found Joseph and Mary and the infant placed in a manger.

S2.17

And they told what had been said to them about the boy.

S2.18

Now everyone who heard from the shepherds as they were telling about the things which they had seen and heard was astonished and amazed.

S2.19

Now Mary put everything in her heart and was considering it in her mind.

S2.20

And the shepherds returned, praising God and talking about the things which they had seen and heard, as it had been told to them.

The Syriac term ‫ܐ‬ means “anointed,” which is also the meaning of the Greek term from which “Christ” is derived. But in this instance, it appears not to be a noun, but rather an adjective, since it follows the word “Lord.” Therefore, the usual phrase “Christ the Lord” cannot be derived from the Syriac of this passage. 2 I am assuming that the word ‫ܬܐ‬ ‫ ܐܪ‬was mistakenly written for ‫ܬܐܪ ܬܐ‬, i.e. an aleph was written (or transcribed later) instead of a taw. 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

S2.21

And when eight days were past, the child was circumcised, and his name was called Jesus, as had been said by an angel before he was conceived in the womb.

S2.22

And the days of her purification were ended, as is written in the law of Moses, and they took him up to Jerusalem to present him before the Lord,

S2.23

(As is written in the law of Lord, that every firstborn who opens the womb will be called a holy one1 of the Lord.)

S2.24

And to offer a sacrifice as is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of pigeons or two young doves.

S2.25

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simon. He was upright and righteous, and looking forward for the intercession of Israel, and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

S2.26

And it was told him by the Holy Ghost that he would not see death until he (first) saw the Lord’s messiah.

S2.27

And he came in the spirit to the temple as his (i.e. Jesus’) parents were bringing Jesus the child into the temple to do with him as is prescribed in the Torah (or “Pentateuch”).

S2.28

This Simon received him in his arms and blessed God and said:

S2.29

Now Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you have said.

S2.30

For behold, my eyes have seen your mercy;

S2.31

He whom you prepared before the face of all nations.

S2.32

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

S2.33

Now his father and his mother marveled over the things that were said about him.

S2.34

And Simon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother, Behold, this one is placed in Israel for the fall and the rise of many, and for a sign of verbal controversies.

S2.35

And a spear will pierce your own soul, that the inner thoughts of many might be revealed.

S2.36

And also Hannah, a prophetess, daughter of Penuel of the tribe of Asher, she too was advanced in years and was only seven days with a man since her virginity.

S2.37

And the rest of her life she was in widowhood, 84 years, and she was engaged in fasting and in prayer and in seeking day and night.

S2.38

And she also arose at that time and thanked the Lord and spoke about him to everyone who was waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

S2.39

Now Joseph and Mary, when they had accomplished everything with the firstborn in the temple that is written in the Torah, returned to Galilee to Nazareth, their city.

S2.40

Now the child grew and strengthened and was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

S2.41

And every year his people went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover.

S2.42

And when he was twelve years old they went up to the feast as they usually did.

S2.43

And when the feast was over, they returned. But the boy, Jesus, separated from them in Jerusalem and his people did not know it.

LUKE: CHAPTER 2

S2.44

For they assumed that he had left with their company, and when they had come one day’s journey, they looked for Jesus among their company and among their relatives and acquaintances.

S2.45

And when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem and looked for him there.

S2.46

And after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, and he was listening to them and asking them questions.

S2.47

And all who heard him were astonished and amazed at his wisdom and his words.

S2.48

And when his people found him they were astonished and his mother said to him, My son, why did you do this to us, for behold your father and I have been searching for you in great exhaustion. . . . did you do this to us, for behold, we are distressed and have been searching for you in great exhaustion.

C2.48 S2.49 C2.49

He said to them, Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that it was fitting for me to be in my Father’s house?1 idem

S2.50 C2.50

But they did not understand the saying he said to them. idem

In the Greek text there is no mention of the temple from Jesus. Instead he says, “I must be about my Father’s business.” The reference to the temple is present in both of the Old Syriac texts (Sinaiticus and Curetonianus) as well as the Peshitta. If the Syriac had been translated from the Greek, as many would like to assume, then we would scarcely expect the Syriac translator to emend the text by inserting a reference to the temple such as this (Jesus’ affirmation that he needed to be in his Father’s house at this point would furnish a strong case for considering Christianity to be a hierocentric religion), because by the time of the supposed translation from Greek to Syriac (second century at the earliest) even Judaism was no longer hierocentric. Therefore it is more reasonable to assume that the temple reference was original and that “my Father’s business” was the later emendation by scribes who did not see Christianity as hierocentric. This then, would also be evidence for the Aramaic as the earlier (and more original) version.

Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, in the governorship of Pontius Pilate in Judah, when Herod was tetrarch in the Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch in the places of Iturea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene. idem During the high priesthood of Hannan (Annas) and of Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zechariah, idem And he was preaching in the wilderness, and in all the places around the Jordan, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. idem As is written in the prophecies of Isaiah the prophet, A crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, and straight in the valley the paths for our God. As is written in the prophecies of Isaiah the prophet, A crying in the wilderness, Restore3 the way of the Lord, and straight in the valley the paths for our God.

lit. “in her mind.” Men” here and not “man.” 3 See section 2.4 for a discussion of this interesting variant. 1 2

LUKE: CHAPTER 3

C3.5

Every river shall be filled and all the mountains and high places will be brought low, and the steep place will become a smooth place, and the rough place will become a plain.

S3.6

And the glory1 of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together, because the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.2

C3.6 S3.7 C3.7 S3.8 C3.8 S3.9

And he said to the crowd, to those who came to him to be baptized, O offspring of vipers, who warned3 you to flee from the wrath to come? And he said to the crowd, to those who came to him, O offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore do fruits fitting for repentance and do not begin to say, We have father Abraham. For I say to you that God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. idem

C3.9

And behold the ax has arrived at the root of the tree, and every tree therefore which does not bring forth4 good fruit is cut off and cast into the fire. idem

S3.10 C3.10

And they asked him, What shall we do. And they asked him, What shall we do to live.

In the Greek, men will not see the glory of God, but rather his salvation. This is another example of an emendation that could only have been in the direction away from the Syriac message (thus indicating the Syriac was prior to the Greek and not translated from it), because the general tendency when anthropomorphisms are encountered (seeing the glory of God could imply seeing God himself, and many were opposed to the idea of a God who could be seen) is to dilute or remove the anthropomorphism. In this case, the quote in the OS versions is in harmony with both the Septuagint and MT, for they both say “glory of God.” 2 Curetonianus adds here “for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it!” That phrase also appears in both LXX and MT. 3 Lit. “showed.” 4 Lit. “make” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 3

He said to them, Whoever has two garments, let him give one to him who has none, and whoever has food, let him do likewise. He said to them, Whoever has two garments, let him give one of them to him who has none, and whoever has food, let him do likewise. And tax collectors also came to be baptized and they said to him, what shall we do? idem He said to them, Do not steal1 anything more than is decreed for you. He said to them, Do not collect anything more than is decreed for you. And the soldiers also asked and said, What shall we do? He said to them, Do not oppress anyone, do not harm anyone, let your wages be sufficient for you. And the soldiers also asked and said to him, What shall we do? He said to them, Do not oppress anyone, do not harm anyone, let your wages be sufficient for you. And people who heard him pondered in their hearts about John and said, perhaps he might be the messiah. And people who heard him pondered in their hearts and said, perhaps he might be the messiah. He responded to everyone and said to them, Behold, I am baptizing you with water. But one comes after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost. He said to them, Behold, I am baptizing you with water . . . (text of C broken here. It resumes again with Luke 7:22)

The word here is ‫ܬܓ ܒ ܢ‬, which is very similar to the word ‫ ܬܓܒ ܢ‬that appears in Curetonianus, but the former means “steal” and the latter means “collect.” The word in S may be a scribal error.

And when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized and when he prayed the heavens opened,

And the Holy Ghost descended upon him in the likeness of the body of a dove, and a voice was heard from heaven, You are my son, and my beloved in whom I am pleased.

The following list of names (through verse 38) is handled in various ways. When the names were well known, I used the usual English form (e.g. John), in other cases I fluctuated between trying to represent the Aramaic form and simply using the more common Hebrew form.

LUKE: CHAPTER 4

S4.2

To be tested by Satan. And he was there forty days and after forty days of fasting he was hungry.

S4.3

And the slanderer said to him, If you are the son of God, say to this stone to become bread.

S4.4

Jesus said to him, It is written that not by bread alone shall man live.

S4.5

And Satan led (and) took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth in a short time.

S4.6

And he said to him, These are all the kingdoms and their glory which are delivered1 to me, I will give you all this dominion and its glory, because it is given to me and to whomever I wish to give it.

S4.7

If you will bow down before me, it will all be yours.

S4.8

Jesus answered and said to him, It is written to bow down to the Lord God and to serve2 him alone.

S4.9

And he brought him to Jerusalem and placed him upon the horn3 of the temple and said to him, If you are the son of God, cast yourself down from here.

S4.10

For it is written that he will command his angels concerning you to preserve you.

S4.11

And they will lift you up in their hands that you do not stumble on a rock.

S4.12

Jesus answered and said to him, You will not test the Lord your God.

S4.13

And when Satan had finished testing him, he left him for a while.

It is interesting to note that the word used here also has the meaning of “betrayed.” 2 Lit. “you will serve.” 3 i.e. “corner” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 4

S4.14

And Jesus returned by the power of the Spirit to Galilee and reports about him spread everywhere.

S4.15

And he taught them in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

S4.16

And he came to Nazareth, the place where he had grown up, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day as was his custom.

S4.17

And the book of Isaiah the prophet was given to him and he arose to read it. When he opened the book he found a place (where) was written,

S4.18

The Spirit of the Lord is upon you, because of which he has anointed you to bring good tidings to the poor, and he has sent me to announce emancipation to the captives, and sight to the blind, and liberty for the broken (hearted).

S4.19

And to announce the acceptable year of the Lord.

S4.20

And he rolled up1 the book and gave it to the minister and sat down, and all of them were looking at him.

S4.21

And he began to say to them, Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

S4.22

And they all witnessed him and were astonished by the beautiful words that came out of his mouth, and they said, Is this not the son of Joseph?

S4.23

He said to them, Perhaps you will tell me this proverb, physician, heal thyself. And those things which you have heard that I did in Capernaum, you will say to me, Do also here in your city.

S4.24

He said to them, Verily I say to you that there is no prophet who is received in his own city.

1

He was using a scroll.

LUKE: CHAPTER 4

S4.25

Truly I say to you that there were many widows in the House of Israel in the days of Elijah the prophet, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine in all the land.

S4.26

And Elijah was sent to none but to Sarepta of Sidon to the widow woman.

S4.27

And there were many lepers in the House of Israel in the days of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was purified except the Syrian.

S4.28

And when those who were in the synagogue heard these things, they were filled with anger.

S4.29

And they took him outside of the city and brought him to the crest of a mountain, on which their city was built, to throw1 him.

S4.30

And he was also passing among them.

S4.31

And he decended to Capernaum, a city of the Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbaths.

S4.32

And they were amazed at his teaching, for his word was authoritative.

S4.33

And there was in their synagogue a man in whom was the spirit of a filthy demon, and he cried out in a loud voice.

S4.34

What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know you, that you are the holy one of God.

S4.35

And Jesus admonished him and said to him, Shut your mouth2 and come out of him and the demon threw him into the middle and came out of him without harming (him).

The basic meaning of the word here is “give,” but that does not translate into sensible English. Nevertheless, I am not absolutely certain that “cast” is meant. 2 This may not sound as elegant as the “Hold thy peace” of the KJV, but it is a literal translation of the Syriac ‫ܪ‬ . 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 5

S4.36

And astonishment seized all of them and they spoke to each other and said, What is this word, that by authority and power he commands these unclean spirits and they leave?

S4.37

And the news of him was everywhere in the country round about.

S4.38

And when he arose from the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and Simon’s mother-in-law had a great fever,

S4.39

And he rebuked the fever and it left her and immediately she arose and served them.

S4.40

Now at sunset, all those who had anyone suffering difficult illnesses, they brought them to him and he laid his hand on each one of them and healed all of them.

S4.41

And demons came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the son of God, and he rebuked them and did not permit them to speak, because they knew him, that he was the messiah.

S4.42

And at the break of day he left and went to a deserted place and a great crowd sought him and came to him and held him that he would not go away from them.

S4.43

Now he said to them, It is fitting that I also preach the kingdom of God in other cities.

S4.44

And he preached in the synagogues of Judah.1

CHAPTER 5 S5.1

And the crowd was silent to hear from him the word of God, and he was standing beside the sea of Gennesaret.2

Luke seems to harp on the fact that Jesus preached in the synagogues. He thus emphasizes the connection Jesus has to that Jewish religious institution. One might wonder if this is not an unusual observation for a gentile. 2 I.e. Sea of Galilee. 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 5

S5.2

And he saw two boats standing on the bank of the sea, and his1 fishermen who were coming up out of them and washing their nets.

S5.3

And one of them (i.e. one of the boats) was of Simon, and Jesus went up (and) sat in it and said to take it out a little from the land into the sea. And he sat and taught the crowd from the boat.

S5.4

And when he stopped his speaking, he responded and said to Simon, Take it out to the deep part and cast your nets in for fishing.

S5.5

Simon answered and said to him, Rabbi, we have labored all night and found nothing, but now, at your word we will put in the nets.

S5.6

And when they threw in their nets they caught many fish, and their nets tore.

S5.7

And they motioned to their companions who were in the other boat to come and help them, and when they came they brought up the fish and filled the two boats and they were close to sinking from their loads.

S5.8

And when Simon saw it he fell on his face before Jesus’ feet and said to him, Lord, save yourself from me, because I am a sinful man.

S5.9

For astonishment seized him and all those who were with him at the number2 of fishes that they caught.

S5.10

And thus also Jacob (James) and John, the sons of Zebedee, because they were Simon’s partners, and Jesus said to Simon, From now on, do not fear, you will be catching men for salvation.3

The Peshitta has simple “the fishermen.” I have no idea why Sinaiticus says “his fishermen.” 2 Lit. “catch.” 3 Lit. “life” but the same word is also used for “salvation.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 5

S5.11

And they brought the boats near to land and left everything and followed him.

S5.12

And when he was in one of the cities, a certain man came to him who was full of leprosy. He saw Jesus and fell on his face and entreated him and said to him, Lord, if you want to, you can cleanse me.

S5.13

And he stretched forth his hand toward him and said to him, I want to, be clean. And immediately the leprosy left him.

S5.14

And Jesus admonished him that he should not tell this to anyone, But go and show yourself to the priests and take for your cleansing what Moses prescribed, that you may be a witness to them.

S5.15

And his fame spread greatly and a great crowd gathered to listen to him and to be healed of their illnesses.

S5.16

And he withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.

S5.17

And it came to pass on a certain day as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting (there) coming from all towns of the Galilee, of Judea and from Jerusalem, and power was on Jesus, who was healing.

S5.18

And behold, some men brought a certain man on his bed, paralyzed, and they were seeking a way to bring him in and place him before him.

S5.19

And they were not able to bring him inside because of the people. They went up to the roof and lowered him with his bed into their midst before Jesus.

S5.20

And when he saw their faith he said to the paralytic, Man, your sins are forgiven you.

S5.21

And the scribes and Pharisees were thinking and saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?

LUKE: CHAPTER 6

S5.22

Now Jesus knew their thoughts. He answered and said to them, What are you thinking in your hearts?

S5.23

Which is easier, to say your sins are forgiven, or to say arise and walk?

S5.24

But so that you may know that the Son of man is authorized to forgive sins on earth (he said to the paralytic), To you I say, arise, take up your bed and go to your home.

S5.25

And immediately he arose before them and picked up that on which he had been placed, and he went to his home praising God.

S5.26

And astonishment seized them and they all praised God and said, Today we have seen great glories.

S5.27

After these things Jesus went out and saw a tax collector sitting in the customs house, whose name was Levi, and he said to him, Follow me.

S5.28

And he left everything and went . . . (text broken. It resumes with 6:12)

CHAPTER 6 S6.12

. . . (text resumes) and in those days he went up to a mountain to pray, and there he remained all night in his prayer to God.

S6.13

And it dawned, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them whom he named apostles.

S6.14

Simon, whom he called Cepha, and Andrew his brother, and Jacob (James) and John, the sons of Zebedee, and Philip and Bartholomew,

S6.15

And Matthew and Thomas, and Jacob (James) the son of Halfai (or “Alpheus”), and Simon who is called the zealot.

LUKE: CHAPTER 6

S6.16

And Judah, son of Jacob, and Judah1 Iscariot, he who betrayed him.

S6.17

And he descended with them to the plain, and he stood (there with) the group of his disciples, and a great crowd of people who came from all over Judea and from Jerusalem, and from the coasts and from Tyre and Sidon.

S6.18

Who came to hear him and to be healed of all their diseases, and those who were possessed by unclean spirits to be healed.

S6.19

And they all wanted to get near him, for power was going out from him and healing them all.

S6.20

And he lifted his eyes to his disciples and said, Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

S6.21

Blessed are they who hunger now, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are they who weep now, for they will laugh.

S6.22

Blessed are you when men hate you and separate2 you and revile you and call you bad names because of the Son of man.

S6.23

But you should rejoice at that time and be glad and make merry, for your reward is great in heaven, for thus did their fathers to the prophets.

S6.24

But woe to you wealthy who have received your reward.

S6.25

Woe to those who laugh now, for you will weep and lament.

S6.26

Woe to you when men will say good things about you, for thus they did to the false prophets.

S6.27

But I say to you who are listening, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you. The more familiar form of this name (from the Greek) is Judas, but I am trying to retain the flavor of the names in Aramaic except for the most important people, such as Mary (where the Aramaic name, Mariam, would be confusing). 2 This word could also be translated as “excommunicate.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 6

S6.28

Bless those who curse you and pray for those who slander you.

S6.29

And to those who slap you on one cheek, offer him the other. And whoever takes your coat or garment, do not withhold it.

S6.30

And give to anyone who asks of you, and whoever takes what is yours, do not seek it (again).

S6.31

And whatever good you wish men to do to you, do for them.

S6.32

And if you love those who love you, what is your benefit?

S6.33

And if you do good to him who does good for you, what is your benefit? Even the sinners do thus.

S6.34

And if you lend to him from whom you think you will be compensated, what is your benefit? For behold, even the sinners lend to sinners to be compensated.

S6.35

But love your enemies and do good to them, and lend and do not despair, for your reward will be great in heaven, and you will be children of the most high - he who is kind to the wicked and thankless.

S6.36

Be merciful as your Father is merciful.

S6.37

Do not judge, so that you might not be judged. Do not condemn, so that you might not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

S6.38

Give, and it shall be given to you. In good and abundant measure will they place it in your lap. With the measure that you measure out, will it be measured out to you.

S6.39

And he told them this saying, Can the blind lead the blind and both of then not fall into the ditch?

LUKE: CHAPTER 6

S6.40

No student is as accomplished as his master in learning.1

S6.41

Why then do you see the chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but the beam that is in your own eye is not visible to you?

S6.42

How can you say to your brother, My brother, let me remove the chaff from your eye and behold, in your eye is a beam? Hypocrite! First remove the beam from your eye and then you will be able to see2 to remove the chaff from your brother’s eye.

S6.43

For there is not good tree that produces bad fruit, nor a bad tree that produces good fruit.

S6.44

Every tree is known by his fruit. They do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from bushes.

S6.45

A good man brings forth good things from the good treasure of his heart, and a bad man brings forth bad things from the bad treasure of his heart, for the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.

S6.46

Now why do you call to me Lord, Lord, but you do not do what I tell you?

S6.47

For anyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like.

S6.48

Like a man who built a house and dug down deep and placed the foundation on rock, and when there was a flood and the river filled, they (the waters) beat against the house, but they were not able to move it.

This verse is much different from that in the KJV which says, “The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.” The KJV is incongruous with the context, for in the preceding verse Jesus had established that the blind cannot lead the blind, therefore, if teacher and student are on the same level, there is not progress. This verse in Sinaiticus is completely consistent with the context established in the preceding verse. 2 Lit. “it will be visible to you.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 7

And he who heard and did it not is like the man who built his house on ground with no foundation, and the river beat against it and immediately knocked it down, and the fall of it was great.

CHAPTER 7 S7.1

And when these words had all been said within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

S7.2

And the servant of a certain centurion was very sick and was valuable to his master, and he was near to death.

S7.3

And he heard about Jesus and sent to him the elders of the Jews, and asked him to come heal his servant.

S7.4

And they came to Jesus and asked him immediately and said, He is worthy that you should do this for him.

S7.5

For he loves our people and he even built us a synagogue.

S7.6

And Jesus went with them and when neared the house, behold, the centurion send his friends and inquired of him, Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.

S7.7

But say the word and my servant will be healed.

S7.8

For I too am a man who is placed under authority, and under my hands are soldiers, and I say to this one to go and he goes, and to another to come and he comes, and to my servant to do this and he does it.

S7.9

And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed at him and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, I say to you that not even in the House of Israel is found such faith as this.

S7.10

And those who were sent returned and found the servant well.

LUKE: CHAPTER 7

S7.11

And afterwards they went to the city called Nain, and his disciples went with him, and a great crowd.

S7.12

He arrived at the gate of the city and saw them carrying out a dead man who was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And there was with her a great crowd of people from the city.

S7.13

Jesus saw her and took pity on her and said to her, Do not weep,

S7.14

And he went and approached the litter1 and those who were carrying it stood (there and) he said, Young man, I say to you arise!

S7.15

And the dead man arose and sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.

S7.16

And fear seized all of them and they praised God and said, A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has witnessed to his people.

S7.17

And this went out about him in all the land of Judea and in all the land round about.

S7.18

And John’s disciples related all these things to him.

S7.19

And John called two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus and said, Are you he who is to come, or shall we expect another?

S7.20

And they came to him and said to him, John the Baptist sent us to you and said, Are you he who was to come, or shall we expect another?

S7.21

And immediately he healed some who were sick and some who were afflicted, and some who had evil spirits, and he gave sight to many who were blind.

I am not really sure about the meaning of the word ‫ܐܪ ܐ‬, but I assume it refers to the litter on which the corpse was carried, because that is the message in other versions of this pericope.

LUKE: CHAPTER 7

S7.22

And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John everything that you have seen and what you have heard, that the blind see and the lame walk and that lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the poor have good news and the dead arise.

S7.23

And blessed is he who will not stumble because of me.

S7.24

And when John’s disciples had left, he began to speak to the crowd about John. What did you go out to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

S7.25

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they who are in glorious and luxurious clothes are in the king’s palace.

S7.26

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you that he is greater than the prophets.

S7.27

It is he of whom is written, I send my messenger before your face, and he will prepare the way before you.

S7.28

I say to you that there never arose among the children of women a prophet greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

S7.29

And all the people and the tax collectors who heard it justified God in their hearts, who were baptized with the baptism of John.

S7.30

But the scribes and Pharisees cheated the desire of God in their hearts, who were not baptized by him.

S7.31

To what therefore will I compare the people of this generation, and what do they resemble?

S7.32

They are like children sitting in the market place and they greet their friends, We sang for you but you did not dance, and we mourned for you but you did not weep.

A certain sinful woman was in that city and when she found out that he was eating in the house of that Pharisee she took a container of fragrant oil. idem And she stood behind him toward his feet1 and wept and moistened his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the oil. idem Now when the Pharisee who had called him saw it he thought to himself and said, this one, if he were a prophet, he would have known who she is and what the reputation is of that sinful woman who touched him. idem

They ate reclining on a couch, so that she was behind him at the foot of the couch.

I entered your house. You did not give me water for my feet, but this (woman) has washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You did not kiss me, but she has not stopped kissing my feet from the time I came in. idem You did not anoint me, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant oil. idem Therefore I say her many sins are forgiven her because she has loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. Therefore I say to you, her many sins are forgiven her because she has loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, loves little.

And those which fell beside the path are those who hear the word, and the adversary comes and picks the word from their heart so that they might not believe and be saved. And those which fell beside the path are those who hear the word of God, and the adversary comes and picks the word from their heart so that they might not believe and be saved. And that which fell on rock are those who, when they hear the word, quickly receive joyfully, but they have no root, and they believe for a while, but in times of trial they stumble. And that which fell on rock are those who, when they have heard the word, quickly receive joyfully, but they have no root, and they believe for a while, but in times of trial they stumble. And that which fell among the thorns is those who hear, and are occupied with cares and riches and pleasantries of life, and they are choked and do not produce fruit. And that which fell among the thorns is those who hear the word, and are occupied with cares and riches of the world and pleasantries of life, and they are choked and do not produce fruit. But that which is on good ground is those who heard the word with a plain and good heart and seized it and produced fruit in patience.1 And that which fell on good ground is those who heard the word with a plain and good heart and seized it and produced fruit in patience. No man lights a lamp and hides it in a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but rather, he puts it on a stand so that everyone who enters sees its light. He told them another parable: No man lights a lamp and hides it in a vessel, or puts it under a bed, or in a secret place; but rather, he puts it on a stand so that everyone who enters sees its light. For there is nothing covered which will not be revealed, and nothing hidden which will not be known and come out into the open. idem 1

For whoever has, to him will be given, and it will increase for him,1 and he who has not, from him will be taken that which he thought he had. And his mother and brothers came to him and were not able to see (him), and waited because of the crowd. And his mother and brothers came to Jesus, and were standing outside and were not able to see him, and waited because of the crowd of people. And they said to him, Your mother and brothers are standing outside and wish to see you. idem But he answered and said to them, My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it. But he answered and said to them, They are my mother and brothers who hear the word of God and do it. And it came to pass, on a certain day he went up and sat in a boat, he and his disciples with him. And he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea. And it came to pass, on a certain day Jesus went up and sat in a boat, he and his disciples with him. And he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the sea. And as they sailed2 he slept and there was a gust of wind on the sea, and the boat was filled and they were close to sinking. And as they sailed on the sea he slept and there was a gust of wind on the sea, and the boat was filled by the waves and they were close to sinking.

And they approached (and) woke him, saying to him, Lord, we are perishing! And he arose and rebuked the wind and the storm of the water and there was calm. And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they were afraid and amazed and said to each other, Who is this that he commands even the wind and the sea and they obey him? idem And they traveled to the place of the Gadarenes1 which is before the passing into Galilee. idem Now when he went up to land, a certain man from the city met him, in whom was a demon for a long time. And he wore no clothes and did not dwell in a house, but among the tombs. Now when he went up to land, a certain man met him, in whom was a demon for a long time. And he wore no clothes and did not dwell in a house, but among the tombs and called out all (manner of) curses, and struck himself with stones. When he saw Jesus he called out and fell (and) worshipped him, and said in a loud voice, What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech you, do not torture me. And when he saw Jesus he called out and fell (and) worshipped him, and said in a loud voice, What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech you, do not torture me. He commanded that unclean spirit to come out of the man, for it had been joined to him a long time. And he had been bound in chains and in fetters to be guarded, but he broke his bonds and tore (them) and was led by the demon into the desert.

For he commanded that unclean spirit to come out of the man, for it had been joined to him a long time. And he had been bound in chains and in fetters to be guarded, but he broke his bonds and tore (them) and was led by the demon into the desert.

Now Jesus asked him and said, What is your name? He said to him, Legion, because many of us are in him. Now Jesus asked him and said, What is your name? And he said to him, Legion, because many of us are in him.

And the demons went out of that man and entered the swine and the herd all made straight for a precipice and fell into the sea and suffocated. idem Now when the swineherds saw what had happened, they fled and told of it in the cities and towns. idem And people went out and saw what had happened and came to Jesus, and found that man from whom the devils had gone out, clothed and with self-control, and sitting at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid. idem

But others said that Elijah had appeared and others said that one of the ancient prophets had arisen. And others said that Elijah had appeared; others said that one of the ancient prophets had arisen from the grave. And Herod said, I have cut off the head of John. Who is this about whom I hear these things? And he wanted to see him. idem And the apostles returned and related to him everything they had done and he led them by themselves and went to the gate of the city called Bethsaida. And the apostles returned and related to him everything they had done and he led them by themselves and went to a place of solitude. And when the multitudes knew it, they went after him, and he received them and spoke about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of healing, he healed them. And when the multitudes knew it, they went after him on foot, and he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of healing, he healed them. And the day approached the evening. His twelve approached and said to him, We are in the desert.1 Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the neighboring towns and villages to lodge or get provisions.

1 S ‫ܒ ܐ‬ , C ‫ ܪܒܐ‬In either case, this probably refers to a solitary place rather than to a true desert, because there are towns within walking distance where they can get food and lodging. A true desert is the Judean wilderness, but it would be too far from Jerusalem to get there on foot in the time allowed. However, just east of Jerusalem the landscape becomes desolate and dry, even though it is still not a true desert. It is possible he was in such a place.

Others say that it is Elijah. He said to them, What do you say that I am. Simon Cepha answered him and said to him, You are the Messiah! He said to them, And you, what do you say that I am. Simon Cepha answered him and said to him, You are the Messiah! And he admonished them and commanded them not to say this to anyone. idem And he said, The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day he will arise. And he said, The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the scribes, and priests, and be killed, and on the third day he will arise. And he said, Let anyone who will follow me deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. And he said, Let anyone who will follow me deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. For anyone who wishes to save his soul will lose it, and whoever will lose his soul for my sake will save it. idem For what does it profit a person if he acquires the whole world but neglects1 and loses his soul? For what does it profit a person if he acquires the whole world but neglects and loses his soul and perishes? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words before men, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in glory with the holy angels. 1

The word here actually means “lose” in the sense of allowing it to be insufficient.

And when they began to separate from him, Cepha said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we are here, and let us make three shelters there: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah. But he did not know what he was saying. And while he said these things, there was a cloud and shade over them, and when they saw these things, that they entered into the cloud, they were afraid. idem And a voice was heard from the cloud: This is my chosen1 Son, hear him. And a voice was heard from the cloud saying: This is my Son and my beloved, hear him. And when the voice was (gone), Jesus was found alone. And they were silent and did not tell any man what they had seen in those days. idem And on that day, when they descended from the mountain, a great crowd met them. And again on that day, when they descended from the mountain, a great crowd met him. And a certain man from that crowd called out and said, Teacher, I beg you, have regard for me, he is my only son. And a certain man from that crowd called out and said, Teacher, have mercy on my son, he is my only one. And he has a spirit, and from a deep sleep it casts him down and torments him and makes (him) sick, and hardly has separated from him when it thrashes him (again).

LUKE: CHAPTER 10

Another said to him, I will follow you Lord, but first permit me to go appear to those of my house and I will come. idem Jesus said to him, No man who has lifted his hand to the plowshare and looks behind him is fit for the kingdom of God. idem

CHAPTER 10 S10.1 C10.1

S10.2 C10.2

And after these things he separated from his disciples seventy two others and sent them two by two before him to every place and city where he would be going. And after these things he separated seventy two others and sent them two by two before him to every place and city where he would be going. He said to them, The harvest is great and the workers are few. Ask the son1 of the harvest to bring out workers for his harvest. He said to them, The harvest is great and the workers are few. Ask the master of the harvest to bring out workers for his harvest.

S10.3 C10.3

Go. Behold, I am sending you as sheep among wolves. Go now. Behold I am sending you as sheep among wolves.

S10.4

Do not take with you a purse nor wallet nor shoes, and do not greet anybody on the way. idem

C10.4 S10.5

And whichever is the first house you enter say, Peace be in the house.

1 Even the other Syriac versions have the more familiar “Lord (or ‘master’) of the harvest.” The difference between “Lord” and “son” is one letter - ‫ ܒ ܐ‬vs. ‫ ܐ‬so it is possible that an error in transcription occurred, either anciently or in modern times. Sinaiticus is, after all, a palimpsest, meaning that the text in question was partially erased and another text written over it.

LUKE: CHAPTER 10

C10.5

And whichever is the first house you enter say, Peace be in this house.

S10.6

If there is harmony (or “agreement”) there, your peace will rest upon it, if not, it will return to you.1 And if there is harmony (or “agreement”) there, your peace will rest upon it, and if not, it will return to you.

C10.6 S10.7 C10.7

S10.8 C10.8 S10.9 C10.9

And eat and drink in that house from that which they have, for the worker is worthy of his wages, and do not go from that house to its neighbor. And eat and drink in that house from that which they have; the worker is worthy of his food,2 and do not go from that house to its neighbor. And whatever city you enter, when they receive you, eat whatever is put before you. idem And heal the sick who are there3 and say that the kingdom of God is near you. idem

S10.10 In whatever city you enter, and they do not accept you there, go out into their streets and say, C10.10 Now in whatever city you enter, and they do not accept you there, go out and say in its streets,

The Syriac phrase ‫ܐ‬ ‫ ܒ‬has the literal value of “son of peace” but actually is an expression which means “harmony” or “agreement,” in other words, the opposite of contention. But since the Greek and Latin both have “the son of peace” for that phrase, this would appear to be evidence that both of those were actually translated from an Aramaic original, but rendered the phrase literally because they did not understand its meaning properly. Thus, this passage weakens the argument that Luke originally wrote in Greek and gives evidence that he wrote in Syriac, which was one of the two languages spoken in his home town of Antioch. 2 All other versions have “wages,” but the redactor of C apparently thought that since the verse was concerned with justifying the acceptance of food, that food rather than wages should be in the second half of the verse in order to be consistent. 3 Lit. “in it” (meaning in the city). 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 10

S10.11 Behold, even the dust which clings to our feet do we shake off, however, know this, that the kingdom of God is near. C10.11 idem S10.12 I say unto you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom in the day of judgment than for this city. C10.12 idem S10.13 Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida, for if the mighty works had been in Tyre and Sidon that were in you, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes. C10.14 idem S10.14 But for Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable than for you in that day. C10.14 But for Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable than for you in the day of judgment. S10.15 And you, Capernaum, you will not be exalted to the heavens, you will descend to Sheol! C10.15 And also you, Capernaum, you will not be exalted to the heavens, you will descend to Sheol! S10.16 He who hears you hears me, and whoever cheats you cheats him who sent me, but whoever hears me, hears him who sent me. C10.16 He who hears you hears me, and whoever cheats you cheats me, and he who cheats me, cheats him who sent me, but whoever hears me, hears him who sent me. S10.17 And the seventy two he had sent out returned with joy saying, Lord, even the demons obey us in your name. C10.17 And the seventy he had sent out returned with joy saying, Lord, even the demons obey us in your name S10.18 He said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

C10.18 Jesus said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning which falls from heaven. S10.19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and also power over the adversary, and nothing will harm you. C10.19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and all power over the adversary, and nothing will harm you S10.20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the demons obey you, but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven. C10.20 idem S10.21 And immediately he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and from the intellectuals and revealed them to children. Yes, Father, for thus was your will.1 C10.21 idem S10.22 Everything has been turned over to me by the Father,2 and who knows the Son but the Father? And who knows the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal him? C10.22 Everything has been turned over to me by the Father, and no man knows who is the Son but the Father. And no one (knows) the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. S10.23 And he turned toward his disciples and said to them, Blessed are the eyes which see that which you see. C10.23 And he turned toward his disciples and said to them, Blessed are the eyes which see that which you have seen. S10.24 For I say to you that many prophets and kings wished to see what you are seeing, but did not see it, and to hear what you are hearing, but did not hear it.

Lit. “for thus was the desire before you.” The phrase ‫ܐܒܐ‬ ‫ ܐ‬could also mean “has been completed for me by the Father.”

He said to him, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? C10.25 And when he had said these things, a certain teacher of the law who was standing (there) approached him to test him. He said to him, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? S10.26 Jesus said to him, How is it written in the law and how do you read it? C10.26 Jesus said to him, How is it written in the law and how have you read it? S10.27 Now he answered and said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. C10.27 He said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your might, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. S10.28 Jesus said to him, you have said correctly. Do these things and you will live.1 C10.28 idem S10.29 But he wanted to justify himself. He said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? C10.29 idem S10.30 He said to him, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and robbers fell (upon him), and they stripped him and beat him, and left him half dead2 and went on their way. C10.30 Jesus said to him, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and left him half dead and went on their way. 1 2

C10.32 And also a Levite, when he reached the place, saw him and passed by him. S10.33 But a certain Samaritan, while he was traveling the road, reached him, saw him and took pity on him. C10.33 But a certain Samaritan, while he was traveling the road, and reached him, saw him and took pity on him. S10.34 And he approached (him and) bandaged his wounds, and he put oil and wine1 on them, and let him ride his donkey, and brought him to an inn and nourished him. C10.34 And he approached (him and) bandaged his wounds, and he poured wine and oil on them, and let him ride his donkey, and brought him to an inn and nourished him. S10.35 And at the break of day he brought out two dinars and gave them to the innkeeper and said, “Nourish him, and when I have returned again, whatever you have spent on him, I will repay you. C10.35 And at the break of day he brought out two dinars and gave them to the innkeeper and said, “Nourish him, and when I have returned again, whatever you have spent, I will repay you again. S10.36 Who of these three do you think2 was a neighbor to him who fell into the hands of the robbers? C10.36 idem S10.37 He said to him, He who took pity on him. Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise yourself. C10.37 idem

The word “wine” is missing in both Curetonianus and in the Peshitta. That is especially interesting in the case of Curetonianus, because it follows Sinaiticus word for word in this verse except for the lack of “wine.” 2 Lit. “does it seem to you.” 1

CHAPTER 11 S11.1 C11.1

And when he was praying in a place, after he stopped his prayer, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples. And when he was praying in a certain place, shortly after he stopped his prayer, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples.

The Aramaic name is actually Mariam, and that is true of all other “Marys” in the NT.

LUKE: CHAPTER 11

S11.10 For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds, and anyone who knocks, it will be opened to him. C11.10 idem S11.11 Which of you, if his son asks him for a fish, will he give (him) a serpent instead of a fish? C11.11 Which of you, if his son asks him for bread will hand him a stone, or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? S11.12 If he asks for an egg, will he hand him a scorpion? C11.12 And if he asks for an egg, will hand him a scorpion? S11.13 And if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him. C11.13 And if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Father give the Holy Ghost from heaven1 to those who ask him. S11.14 And it came to pass that he was casting a devil out of a mute, and when the devil had gone out the mute spoke and the crowd was amazed. C11.14 idem S11.15 And men from the Pharisees said, By Beelzebub, the head of the demons, does he cast out devils. C11.15 idem S11.16 But others, when they tested him, asked him for a sign from heaven. C11.16 idem

S corresponds to Matt. 7:11 in stating that God will give “good things” to those who ask. The idea that the phrase “good things” refers to the gift of the Holy Ghost appears to be editorializing which may have originated with C, or C may have seen it elsewhere. In any case, it is perpetuated in the other Syriac versions and in the Greek. For a more complete discussion, see section 2.5.

LUKE: CHAPTER 11

S11.17 Now when he knew their mind, he said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself will perish, and any house that is divided against a/the house1 will fall. C11.17 idem S11.18 And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand, of whom you are saying that by Beelzebub I cast out devils? C11.18 idem S11.19 And if by Beelzebub I cast out unclean spirits from your children, by what will your children cast them out? Because of this they will be your judges. C11.19 And if then by Beelzebub I cast out devils from your children, by what will your children cast them out? Because of this they will be your judges. S11.20 But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God is upon you. C11.20 idem S11.21 For when a strong man armed watches his homestead, his possessions are in peace. C11.21 idem S11.22 But if one stronger than he comes and conquers him and takes his weapons in which he trusted, will he also divide up his plunder with him? C11.22 idem S11.23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me surely2 scatters from me. C11.23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me surely scatters.

Since Syriac does not preserve a clear distinction between definite and indefinite articles, it is not clear whether the same house is meant, or any house. 2 ‫ܒ ܪܘ ܒ ܪ‬ is a construction using the infinitive absolute for emphasis - “surely.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 11

S11.24 An unclean spirit, when it comes out of a man, goes about quietly in (various) places where there is no water to find rest, and when it finds none it says, I will return I will go to my house which I went out of. C11.24 An unclean spirit, when it comes out of a man, goes about in (various) places where there is no water to find rest, and when it finds none it says, I will return I will go to my house which I went out of. S11.25 When it comes it finds it warm and set in order. C11.25 And when it comes it finds it warm and set in order. S11.26 Then it goes (and) leads seven others more evil than itself enter and dwell in it, and the last of that man is worse first. C11.26 It goes (and) leads seven other spirits more evil than itself enter and dwell in it, and the last of that man is worse first.

and they than the and they than the

S11.27 And when he had said these things, a certain woman from the midst of the crowd said to him in a loud voice, Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts that nursed you. C11.27 idem S11.28 Jesus said to her, Blessed are they who have heard the word of God and keep it. C11.28 idem S11.29 And when crowds had gathered, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation seeking for a sign. No sign will be given to them from heaven but the sign of Jonah the prophet. C11.29 And when crowds had gathered, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation seeking for a sign. No sign will be given to it.1

The phrase “but the sign of Jonah the prophet” is present in all other Syriac versions. It is strange that it is missing in C, especially since it is in S, but perhaps this was an unintentional omission. On the other hand, the redactor of C might have thought it was redundant to leave it in this verse when the reference to Jonah is clearly made in the subsequent verse.

S11.30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man is to this generation. C11.30 But as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man is to this generation. S11.31 The queen of the south will rise up in judgment with this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, one greater than Solomon is here. C11.31 idem S11.32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in judgment with this generation and condemn them, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold, one greater than Jonah is here. C11.32 idem S11.33 No man lights a lamp and places it in hiding, but rather he puts it on a stand, so that those who enter will see its light. C11.33 No man lights a lamp and places it under a bushel, or in a secret place, but rather he puts it on a stand, so that those who enter will see its light. S11.34 For the lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is straight, the whole body is enlightened. But if you eye is evil, your body is darkened. C11.34 For the lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is straight, the whole body is enlightened. But if you eye is evil, your whole body is darkened. S11.35 Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. C11.35 idem S11.36 Therefore also your body, when there is no lamp in it to light the darkness. Thus when your lamp is lit, it illuminates you.

C11.36 And if the light that is in you is dark, how great will your darkness be?1 S11.37 And a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him, and he entered (and) sat down.2 C11.37 idem S11.38 They wondered about why he did not wash before his meal. C11.38 And that Pharisee began to say in his mind, Why did he not wash before his meal? S11.39 Jesus said to him, For you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and plate, but the inside is full of violence3 and evil. C11.39 Our Lord said to him, You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and plate, but the inside is full of violence and evil. S11.40 You fools, did not he who made the outside not also make the inside? C11.40 idem S11.41 But whatever is inside you, give it as alms, and behold, everything is clean for you. C11.41 idem S11.42 But woe to you Pharisees who tithe mint and rue and all the herbs, but you pass over judgment and the love of God. It is appropriate for these things to be done, but also these (others) should not be neglected. C11.42 But woe to you scribes4 and Pharisees who tithe mint and rue and all the herbs, but you pass over judgment and the love of God. It is appropriate for you to do these things, but these (others) should not be neglected. S11.43 Woe to you Pharisees, who love the seat of honor in the synagogue, and greetings in the market place.

It is rare for the entire verse in C to differ from S, as it does in this case. Lit. “reclined” as was the custom for eating. 3 The word ‫ܐ‬ refers to a range of violent crimes from seizure to rape. 4 C is the only Syriac version to insert “scribes.” 1 2

LUKE: CHAPTER 11

C11.43 Woe to you scribes1 and Pharisees, who love the seat of honor in the synagogue, and greetings in the market place. S11.44 Woe to you who are tombs which you do not see, and men walk by them and you do not know it. C11.44 Woe to you who are tombs, and men walk by you and do not know.2 S11.45 And one of the scribes answered and said to him, Teacher, when you say these things, you also dishonor us. C11.45 idem S11.46 He said to him, You too, woe to you scribes, who load on men heavy burdens, but you do not touch them with (even) one of your fingers. C11.46 He said to him, You too, woe to you scribes, who pick up heavy burdens and place them on the shoulders of men, but you do not touch them with even one of your fingers. S11.47 Woe to you who build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. C11.47 idem S11.48 From now on you will witness and confess the deeds of your fathers, that they killed them and you are the children.3 C11.48 From now on you will witness and confess the deeds of your fathers, and you are the children of those murderers. S11.49 Because of this, the wisdom of God has said, I will send prophets and apostles among them, and some of them they will kill, and persecute (others). C11.49 idem Again, “scribes” appears only in C, not in S, P or H. “know” here is simply the participle yd‘yn, so it is not clear whether the subject is supposed to be the men who walk by, or the scribes and Pharisees who are the tombs. 3 The phrase ‫ܐ ܘܢ‬ ‫ ܐ ܘܢ ܒ‬could mean either “you are children” or “you are builders/building.” C understood the former, but P and the Greek witnesses understood the latter. In any case, that divergence in the later texts is good evidence that all were taken from an Aramaic original, for this ambiguity can only occur in Aramaic. 1 2

C11.52 idem S11.53 And when he had said these things, in front of them, in the sight of all the people, he began to displease the scribes and Pharisees. C11.53 idem S11.54 And they disputed many things with him, and sought grounds to arrest him. C11.54 And they disputed many things with him, and sought grounds to arrest him, that they might slander him.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and secret which will not be known. idem For those things you have said in darkness will be heard in light. And whatever you have whispered in (someone’s) ear in the inner chamber will be announced on the rooftops. idem Now I say to you my friends, Do not fear those who kill your body and afterward there is nothing (more) they can do. idem But I will show you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he kills (you), has authority to cast (you) into Gehenna. Yes, I say to you that you should fear this one. But I will show you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he kills (you), has authority to cast (you) into Gehenna. Yes, I say to you that it is fitting that you should fear this one. For five sparrows are sold for two assar,1 but not (even) one of them is lost before God. Five sparrows are sold for an assar, but not (even) one of them is lost before God. For even the individual hairs2 of your head are numbered. Therefore do not fear, for you are much better than the sparrows. For even the individual hairs of your head are numbered. Therefore do not fear, for you are much more than the sparrows. For I say to you that everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God. Now I say to you that everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before his holy angels.

An assar is a small Roman coin of copper. Lit. “hairs of the hair.”

C12.40 You too, be prepared, for at a time when you do not know it the Son of man will come. S12.41 Cepha said to him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us or also to everyone (else)?

C12.42 Our Lord said to him, Which is the faithful, wise and good ruler whom his master has placed over his fellow servants, to give them their portion in its season? S12.43 Blessed is he who, when his master comes, finds him doing thus. C12.43 Blessed is that servant who, when his master comes, finds him doing thus. S12.44 Truly I say to you that he will make him ruler over everything he has. C12.44 Truly I say to you that he will place him over all his possessions. S12.45 But if the servant says to himself, My master delays coming, and he begins to beat the servants and the maidservants and to eat and drink and to be drunk, C12.45 idem S12.46 And the servant’s master will come on a day when he did not think (he would) and at a time when he was not aware, and he will divide up his portion, and put him with those who do not believe.

C12.46 And the servant’s master will come on a day when he did not think (he would) and at a time when he was not aware, and he will divide up and place his portion with those who do not believe. S12.47 The servant who knew the will of his master and did not prepare for him according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes. C12.47 idem S12.48 And he who did not know but did something worthy of stripes will be beaten with few stripes. For everyone to whom much is given, much is required at his hand. And he to whom they have entrusted much, more will be required of him. C12.48 idem S12.49 For I came to pour out fire upon the earth, and what (more) do I want if it is kindled even now? C12.49 idem S12.50 There is a baptism for me with which I must be baptized, and how I am afflicted until it is over! C12.50 And there is a baptism for me with which I must be baptized, and how I am afflicted until it is over! S12.51 You think that I came to pour out peace on the earth. I say to you, no, but rather divisions. C12.51 idem S12.52 For from this time on five in one house will be divided three against two, and two against three. C12.52 idem S12.53 The father against his son, and the son against his father, the mother against her daughter, and the daughter against her mother, and the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.

But you also, unless you repent, you will all perish likewise. idem And those 18 upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were sinners more than all other men who dwell in Jerusalem? idem I say to you, no!.

It would be a smoother sentence in English if we would omit this “and” but Syriac uses the conjunction much more frequently than English and it is retained in the English here to give the flavor of the Syriac.

S13.15 Jesus responded and said to him, Hypocrite! Does not each one of you untie his ox or ass from the stall and go give him water on the Sabbath day? C13.15 Jesus responded and said to him, Hypocrite! Does not each one of you untie his ox or ass from the stall on the Sabbath day and go give him water? S13.16 And she is a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound lo eighteen years. Was it not fitting that she should be loosed from these bonds on the Sabbath day? C13.16 But this is a daughter of Abraham whom the Slanderer has bound lo eighteen years. Was it not fitting that she should be loosed from these bonds on the Sabbath day? S13.17 And when he had said these things . .. (short break in text) . . all those who were standing before him1 were ashamed, and all the people rejoiced for all the wondrous things which were (done) by his hand. C13.17 And when he had said these things, all those who were standing before him were ashamed, and all the people rejoiced for all the wondrous things which were (done) by his hand. S13.18 He said, What does the kingdom of God resemble, and to what shall I compare it? C13.18 And he said, What does the kingdom of God resemble, and to what shall I compare it? S13.19 It resembles a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky built nests in its branches. C13.19 idem S13.20 Again he said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? C13.20 idem S13.21 It is like leaven which a woman took and buried in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened.

S13.31 And in those days, men of the Pharisees1 came and said to him, Leave, go away from here, because Herod seeks to kill you. C13.31 idem S13.32 He said to them, Go (and) say to that fox, I cast out devils and I complete my healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be finished.2 C13.32 He said to them, Go (and) say to that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and I complete my healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be finished.

Or “certain Pharisees.” The word used here is . Since there are no vowel points, it could be either an ethpe’el or ethpa’al form and it has several meanings, “betrayed” “handed over” “finished” “perfected” or even “killed.” So this ambiguity is actually wonderfully pregnant with meaning and therefore much nicer than the Greek for this verse. 1 2

C13.33 But it is fitting for me today and tomorrow, and after tomorrow I will travel, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem. S13.34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killed the prophets and stoned those who were sent to you. How many times I wanted to gather your children like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you did not want it. C13.34 idem S13.35 Behold your house is left, and I say to you, that you will not see me until it comes that you will say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. C13.35 Behold your house is left to you desolate. I say to you, that you will not see me until the day comes that you will say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

The word in S is ‫ܣ‬ ‫ܗܕܪܘ‬, and in C is ‫ܗܕܪܘ‬. They are both forms of the Greek word υδρωπικος. This word was not well known among Syriac speakers as demonstrated by the fact that both P and H substituted ‫ܗܘܐ ܐ‬ ‫ܕ‬, lit. “who was gathering water.” At first blush, this might be seen as support for the assumption that Luke originally wrote in Greek, but that is not necessarily so. Since he came from Antioch, where Greek and Syriac were both used, he would have been bilingual, and bilingual speakers often introduce a word from one language into the other language if they feel it is more descriptive or more accurate. And in this case, Syriac apparently did not have any corresponding term, because if it did, then P and H would not have had to resort to a circumlocution. Therefore the use of a Greek word, even by one writing in Aramaic, is quite understandable.

C14.26 idem S14.27 (verse not present in Sinaiticus) C14.27 And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. S14.28 For who of you who wants to build a tower does not sit down first to consider the cost, whether he has (enough) to finish it? C14.28 idem S14.29 Lest when he has laid the foundation, he is not able to finish it. All who see it will be making fun of him. C14.29 idem S14.30 And they say, This man began to build, but cannot finish. C14.30 And they say, This man began to build a tower, but cannot finish. S14.31 Or what king goes to fight against another king, and does not first consider whether he can with ten thousand meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

LUKE: CHAPTER 15

S15.4

Who among you who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them does not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness and goes to seek the lost one until he finds it? C15.4 idem

S15.5 C15.5

And when he finds it lifts it up on his shoulders and rejoices? And when he finds it places it on his shoulders and rejoices?

S15.6

And he comes home and calls his friends and neighbors and says, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost! And he comes home and calls his friends and neighbors and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!

C15.6 S15.7 C15.7

S15.8 C15.8 S15.9 C15.9

I say to you that so will there be rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, or1 over ninety nine righteous who do not need repentance. Now I say to you that so will there be rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety nine righteous who do not need repentance. Or what woman who has ten zuz2 and loses one of them does not light a lamp and sweeps the house and diligently searches until she finds it? idem And when she finds it she calls friends and neighbors and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my zuz that was lost! idem

S15.10 I say that so will there be rejoicing before all the angels of God over one sinner who repents. C15.10 idem

Curetonianus has “more than over ninety nine . . .” but the Peshitta, like Sinaiticus, only has the conjunction “or.” Obviously there is a theological difference. 2 A zuz is one quarter of a shekel. 1

C15.16 He was longing to eat some of the sea carobs2 that the swine were eating to fill his belly, but no one gave him any.

S15.25 And his older son was in the field, and when he came near to the house, he heard the sound of singing and of bagpipes.1 C15.25 idem S15.26 And he called one of the servants and asked him about this. C15.26 And he called one of the servants and asked him, what is this sound of music I hear? S15.27 He said to him, Your brother has come and your father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him healthy.2 C15.27 idem S15.28 And he was angry and did not wish to go in. And his father went out and entreated him. C15.28 idem S15.29 He answered and said to his father, Behold, how many years have I been working for you and I have not transgressed your orders and you never even gave me a young goat for me to make merry with my friends. C15.29 He said to his father, Behold, how many years have I been working for you and I have not transgressed your orders and you never even gave me a young goat for me to make merry with my friends. S15.30 And this son of yours, after he has squandered your wealth with prostitutes, you have killed the fatted calf for him. C15.30 idem S15.31 He said to him, My son, you have always been with me, and everything I have is yours. C15.31 idem S15.32 But it was fitting to make merry and to rejoice, for this your brother was dead, but (now) he lives, and he was lost, but (now) is found.

‫ܐ‬ ‫ܨ‬ While “healthy” is a literal rendering, the phrase “safe and sound” in the KJV makes for a better English sentence and still conveys the message.

And he said again to his disciples, There was a certain rich man and he had a steward, and the steward was accused before him of misusing his money. And Jesus said again to his disciples, There was a certain rich man and he had a steward, and the steward was accused before him of misusing his money. And his master called him and said to him, What is this that I am hearing about you? Come, give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be my steward. idem The steward said to himself, What shall I do? For my master is taking from me the stewardship and I cannot dig,1 and I am embarrassed to beg. The steward said to himself, What shall I do? For my master is taking from me the stewardship and I cannot labor, and I am embarrassed to beg. I know what I will do, so that when I have left the stewardship they will receive me in their houses. idem And he called to one of his master’s debtors and said to the first one, How much do you owe my master? And he sent (and) called to one of his master’s debtors and said to the first one, How much do you owe my master? He said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he sat down quickly and wrote fifty.

C16.6

He said to him, One hundred measures of oil. He said to him, Take your book and sit down quickly (and) write fifty.

S16.7

And afterward he said to another, And you, how much do you owe him. He said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he sat down quickly and wrote eighty. And afterward he said to another, And you, how much do you owe my master. He said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. He said to him, take your book and write eighty.

C16.7

S16.8 C16.8 S16.9 C16.9

And the master praised the evil steward because he had done wisely, and the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. idem And I also say to you, make for yourselves friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when it is over they may receive you into their eternal dwellings. And I say to you, make for yourselves friends of this mammon of iniquity, that when it is over they may receive you into their eternal dwellings.

S16.10 For whoever is faithful in little will also be faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in little, will also be unrighteous in much. C16.10 idem S16.11 If indeed you have not been faithful in the mammon of iniquity, who will entrust the truth to you? C16.11 idem S16.12 And if you have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give you your own? C16.12 And if you are not faithful in that which is not yours, who will give you your own? S16.13 For there is no servant who is able to serve two masters, who will not hate the one and love the other, or else endure the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

C16.13 For there is no servant who is able to serve two masters, who will not love the one and hate the other, or else endure the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. S16.14 And it came to pass, when the Pharisees heard all these things, they mocked him because they loved money. C16.14 idem S16.15 He said to them, You are they who justify themselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts, and what is exalted among men is loathsome to God. C16.15 idem S16.16 The law and the prophets were until John, from now on the kingdom of God is preached and everyone is pressing toward it. C16.16 The law and the prophets prophesied until John, from now on the kingdom of God is preached and everyone is crowding into it. S16.17 Now it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter of the law to pass away. C16.17 idem S16.18 Any man who divorces his wife and takes another commits adultery, and he who takes the one divorced commits adultery. C16.18 Now any man who divorces his wife and takes another commits adultery, and he who takes the one divorced commits adultery. S16.19 A certain man, who had riches, dressed in purple and made merry every day. C16.19 And again he said, A certain man, who had riches, dressed in fine linen and purple, and fine robes and pompously made merry every day.

S16.20 And there was a certain poor man whose name was Lazarus. And he was lying at his door. C16.20 And there was a certain poor man whose name was Lazarus. And he was lying at his door (and) he had abscesses.1 S16.21 And he longed to fill his belly with something that fell from the table of the rich man, and the dogs even came and licked his abscesses. C16.21 idem S16.22 And it came to pass that the poor man died and angels carried him to the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man died and was buried. C16.22 And the poor man died and angels carried him to the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. S16.23 And he was lying in hell, (and) he lifted his eyes while he was in torment,2 and he saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. C16.23 And he was lying in hell in torment, (and) he lifted his eyes while he was in torment, and he saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. S16.24 And he called and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he might dip his finger in water (and) cool my tongue, for I am tormented in these flames. C16.24 And he called and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he might dip his finger in water and come (and) moisten my tongue, for I am tormented in these flames. S16.25 Abraham said to him, But remember that you received your good things during your lifetime, and likewise Lazarus (received) bad things. And now therefore he is comforted and you are tormented.

1 This root could mean “was warming himself” or “he had ulcers/abscesses.” The connection with abscesses or ulcers presumably derives from the fact that skin ulcers are usually red and hence warm. In this case, the redactor apparently intended to say that he had ulcers/abscesses, because the following verse mentions that the dogs licked those sores. 2 Or “being punished.”

S16.26 And besides all these things, there is a great abyss laid down between us and you, so that those who would pass from here to you cannot, and neither do they pass from there to us. C16.26 idem S16.27 He said, Then I ask you, my father, to send him to the house of my father, C16.27 He said, Then I ask you, my father Abraham, to send him to the house of my father, S16.28 For I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they too come to this place of punishment. C16.28 idem S16.29 Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them. C16.29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them. S16.30 He said to him, No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead went to them they would repent. C16.30 idem S16.31 He said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe one from the dead if he went to them.1 C16.31 Abraham said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe one from the dead if he went to them.

And he said to his disciples, It is not possible that offenses will not come, but woe to him by whom they come. And Jesus said to his disciples, It is not possible that offenses will not come, but woe to him by whom the offenses come. It would be better for him if a millstone were hanged on his neck and he were cast into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. idem Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents forgive him. idem And if he sins seven times in a day and the seven times turns to you and says I repent, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day and the seven times turns to you and says to you I repent, forgive him.

S17.5 C17.5

His apostles said to Jesus, Increase our faith. The apostles said to our Lord, Increase our faith.

S17.6

He responded and said to them, if you had the faith of a grain of mustard you could have said to this sycamore tree, Be plucked up from the foundation and be planted in the sea, (and) it would have obeyed you. He said to them, if you had the faith of a mustard seed you could tell a mountain to move from here and it would move, or to a sycamore tree, Be plucked up and be planted in the sea, (and) it would have obeyed you.

LUKE: CHAPTER 17

C17.7

Who of you has a servant who plows or feeds sheep, and when he returns from the field you would say to him immediately, Go sit down (to a meal).

S17.8

But rather you would say to him, Prepare me something to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you too will eat and drink. idem

C17.8 S17.9 C17.9

Does the servant obtain benefit to himself for doing those things that were commanded him? idem

S17.10 Thus you also, when you have done those things which were commanded you say, We are servants, we have done that which we ought to do. C17.10 Thus you also, when you have done those things which were commanded you say, We are useless servants,1 we have done that which we ought to do. S17.11 And when he went to Jerusalem, he passed by between the Samaritans and the Galileans. C17.11 And when he went to Jerusalem, he passed by between the Samaritans and the Galileans to Jericho.2 S17.12 And he entered a certain village and behold, ten leprous men were standing afar off. C17.12 idem S17.13 And they raised their voices and said to him, Jesus, Rabbi, have mercy on us. C17.13 idem

Lit. “servants of refuse.” I know of no other witness which adds “to Jericho.” I have no idea why C added that phrase, but it is true that one common route from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem followed the Jordan River south to Jericho and then turned westward to ascend the mountains to Jerusalem (which is almost 4000 feet higher than Jericho, the latter being about 1300 feet below sea level).

C17.21 And they will not say, Behold, here it is, or behold there it is, for behold, the kingdom of God is among you. S17.22 And he said to his disciples, the days will come that you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it. C17.22 idem S17.23 And if they say to you, Behold there it is, or behold, here it is, do not run and do not go. C17.23 And if they say to you, Behold there it is, or behold, here it is, do not let them deceive you and do not go. S17.24 For as the lightning strikes from the beginning of heaven to its end,1 so shall the day of the Son of man. C17.24 idem S17.25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. C17.25 idem S17.26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. C17.26 idem S17.27 For they were eating and drinking and marrying women and giving (them) to men until the day that Noah entered into the ark. And the flood came and carried them all away. C17.27 idem S17.28 And as it was in the days of Lot, they were eating and drinking, buying and selling.

Again he said to them also this parable, that they would always pray and it should not be tedious for them. idem A certain judge was in a city, who did not fear God and did not revere man. idem And a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him and saying to him, Avenge me of my (legal) adversary. And a widow was in that city, and she kept coming to him for a very long time, and saying to him, Avenge me of my (legal) adversary. And he did not want to. Afterward he said to himself, Though I do not fear God and do not revere man, And he did not want to. Afterward that judge said to himself, Though I do not fear God and do not revere man, But this widow wearies me thus. I will avenge her lest in the latter end she comes and holds me. But this widow wearies me constantly. I will avenge her so she will not constantly bother me. Jesus said, Hear what the unjust judge says. And our Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.

LUKE: CHAPTER 18

How much more will God therefore do vengeance for his elect who call to him day and night, and his spirit continues1 with them. idem I say to you that he will perform their revenge quickly. Nevertheless the Son of man will surely come (and) find faith on the earth. idem And he spoke this parable before men who trusted in themselves to be righteous, and they despised many. idem

S18.10 Two men went up to the temple to pray: one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. C18.10 idem S18.11 The Pharisee stood by himself (and) prayed, I thank you God, that I have not been like the rest of mankind, extortionists, or greedy people, or adulterers, nor like this tax collector. C18.11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed these things, I thank you God, that I have not been like the rest of mankind, extortionists, and evildoers, and adulterers, nor like this tax collector. S18.12 But I fast twice a week, and I tithe everything that I acquire. C18.12 idem S18.13 But the tax collector stood afar off and did not even want to raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest and said, God have mercy on me a sinner. C18.13 But the tax collector stood afar off and did not even dare to raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest and said, God have mercy on a sinner.

The choice of “continues” is based on the assumption that ‫ ܓ‬is the aph‘el form of the root ‫ ܓ‬, but it could also be the aph‘el form of the root ‫ܓ‬, in which case the translation would be “leads.” The latter might also be acceptable theologically, because it would imply that the spirit of God actually encourages the elect to cry out to him.

S18.21 He said, Behold, I have kept these things since I was a child. C18.21 He said to him, Behold I have kept all these things since I was a child. S18.22 When Jesus heard that, he said to him, One more thing is lacking for you; sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and follow me. C18.22 idem S18.23 But when he heard these things it grieved him greatly, for he was very rich. C18.23 But when he heard these things it grieved him greatly, for he was rich. S18.24 When Jesus saw that it grieved him, he said, How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! C18.24 idem S18.25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man the kingdom of God. C18.25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. S18.26 And those who heard it said, Who can be saved? C18.26 idem S18.27 He said to them, Those things which are not possible for men are possible with God. C18.27 idem S18.28 Cepha said to him, Behold we left everything we had and followed you. C18.28 idem S18.29 Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, that (there is) no one who has left a house or parents or siblings or wife or children because of the kingdom of God,

C18.29 Jesus said to him, Verily I say to you, that whoever has left a house or parents or siblings or wife or children because of the kingdom of God, S18.30 Who will not get one hundred fold in this time,1 and will inherit eternal life in the world to come. C18.30 Will get one hundred fold in this time, and will inherit eternal life in the world to come. S18.31 And he took his twelve and said to them, Behold we are going up to Jerusalem, and all those things which are written in the prophets about the Son of man will be fulfilled. C18.31 idem S18.32 For he will be handed over to the gentiles and they will insult him and abuse him and spit in his face. C18.32 idem S18.33 And they will scourge him and kill him and on the third day he will arise. C18.33 idem S18.34 And they, not one of them understood, but the meaning was hidden from them and they did not understand these things that were spoken to them. C18.34 idem S18.35 And when he was near Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the road begging. C18.35 And when he was about to enter Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the road begging. S18.36 And when he heard the noise of the crowd that was passing by, he asked who it was. C18.36 idem S18.37 They said to him, Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.

And he wanted to see who Jesus was, and he was not able because of the crowd, because he was small in stature, And he wanted to see Jesus, and he was not able, because Zachai was small in stature, And he ran before him and climbed up a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was supposed to pass that way.1 idem And when he saw him he said to him, Hurry, come down Zachai, for today it is fitting for me to be at your house. And when Jesus passed by, he saw him he said to him, Hurry, come down Zachai, for today it is fitting for me to be at your house.

And Zachai hurried down and received him joyfully. And he hurried down and received him joyfully.

And Zachai arose and said to our Lord, Behold Lord, half of my wealth I give to the poor, and anything I have seized (wrongfully) I pay back fourfold.

Lit. “Because thus was Jesus passing.” Or “salvation.” The word ‫ ܐ‬has the basic meaning of “life” but it is also used for the theological concept of salvation. 1 2

S19.11 And when they had heard these things, he continued to speak a parable because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that that was when the kingdom of God would be revealed.1 C19.11 And when they had heard these things, he continued to speak a parable because he was about to enter Jerusalem and they were thinking that that was when the kingdom of God would be revealed. S19.12 He said to them, A certain man who was descended from a great family went to a distant place to receive a kingdom and to return. C19.12 idem S19.13 And he called his ten servants, and he gave them ten minas and said to them, keep busy with this until I come. C19.13 idem S19.14 And people of the city hated him and they sent a messenger after him saying to him, We do not want him to rule over us. C19.14 idem S19.15 And he returned (and) said2 to summon to him his servants to whom he had given money so that he might find out what they had earned. C19.15 And when he had received the kingdom he returned (and) said to summon to him his servants to whom he had given money so that he might find out what they had earned. S19.16 And the first came and said, Master, your talent has increased to ten talents. C19.16 idem

That is to say, they were expecting the kingdom to be revealed as soon as he reached Jerusalem. 2 I.e. “gave orders.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 19

S19.17 He said to him, O good servant who has been found faithful over little, you will have authority over ten cities.1 C19.17 idem S19.18 And another came and said to him, Master, your talent has made five talents. C19.18 idem S19.19 He said also to him, You will have authority over five cities. C19.19 idem S19.20 And another came and said, Master, Behold your talent which I had and put in a cloth.2 C19.20 And another came and said, Behold your talent which I had and put in a cloth. S19.21 For I feared you, because you are a hard man who takes what you have not put down and reaps what you have not sown. C19.21 idem S19.22 He said to him, from your own mouth I will judge you, unfaithful servant! You knew that I was a hard man and I pickup what I have not put down and reap what I have not sown. C19.22 His master said to him, from your own mouth I will judge you, unfaithful servant! You knew that I was a hard man and I pickup what I have not put down and reap what I have not sown. Black, Matthew, in An Aramaic Approach to the Gospels and Acts, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1967, on page 2 notes that Nestle had suggested that the odd inclusion of the word “cities” here (which does not appear in the version of the parable in Matt. 25:14ff) is due to a simple metathesis, and hence a confusion of meaning “cities” with meaning “talents.” This is a very two words, viz. attractive explanation which would further support the notion that even Luke was originally written in Aramaic, but if it is true, then the confusion (or mistranscription at some stage of the transmission of the text) took place before the middle of the fourth century, because the form in Sinaiticus as well as Curetonianus is that of “cities.” 2 KJV has “napkin.” Zimmermann , Frank The Aramaic Origin of the Four Gospels (New York: Ktav Publishing House, 1979), page 25 attempts to explain the disparity between the napkin or cloth in Luke and the ground (where it was buried) in the Matthew version by saying that in Eastern Aramaic the word ‫ܐ‬ can mean either “dust” or “hood.” I find that explanation a bit far fetched and it is certainly not supported by either S or C which both have the word ‫“ ܘ ܐ‬cloth.” 1

LUKE: CHAPTER 19

S19.23 Why did you not invest my money in the bank,1 and when I came back I would have demanded what was mine with interest. C19.23 idem S19.24 And he said to them who were standing near him, take from him the talent and give it to him who has ten talents. C19.24 idem S19.25 (this verse not present in S) C19.25 (this verse not present in C) S19.26 For I say to you that anyone who has, it will be added to him, and anyone who has not, even that which he has will be taken from him. C19.26 For I say to you that anyone who has, to him will be given, and it will be added to him, and anyone who has not, even that which he thinks has will be taken from him. S19.27 But bring here those my enemies who do not want me to be king over them, and kill them before me. C19.27 idem S19.28 And when he had said these things, they went out from there and afterward he went up to Jerusalem. C19.28 idem S19.29 And he reached Bethphage and Bethany and he reached the Mount of Olives. He sent two of his disciples. C19.29 And he reached Bethphage and Bethany and he reached the mount that is called the House2 of Olives. He sent two of his disciples.

Lit. “table” referring to the table on which the money changers did business. This is actually similar to the word “bank” which originally referred to a bench on which money changers did business. 2 P also preserves this designation “House of Olives” while H follows the Greek and simply says “The mount which is called Olives.” Logic would suggest that this later phrase came about through a scribal error which omitted the word “house”. Such an error could have occurred either during the process of transcription (copying in the same language) or translation (from Aramaic to Greek). 1

C20.32 idem S20.33 In the resurrection, to which of them will she belong? For behold, she had been the wife of the seven of them. C20.33 In the resurrection, to which of them will she belong? For behold, she had been (the wife of) the seven of them. S20.34 Jesus answered and said, The children of this world bear children and beget children, and take wives and become wives. C20.34 Jesus said to them, The children of this world bear children and beget children, and take wives and become wives. S20.35 But those who are worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the grave will not be1 wives to men. C20.35 But those who are worthy to receive that world and of the resurrection from the grave will not be men taking wives, neither will there be wives to men. S20.36 Neither can they die, for they have become equal to the angels, like children of the resurrection.

LUKE: CHAPTER 20

C20.36 Neither can they die, for they have become equal to the angels, like children of God, children of the resurrection. S20.37 But concerning the dead who will arise, even Moses demonstrated it when God spoke to him from the bush, and he said, Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. C20.37 idem S20.38 For behold, he was not the God of the dead, but of the living, for they all are alive to him. C20.38 idem S20.39 Some of the scribes said to him, Teacher, you have spoken well. C20.39 idem S20.40 And they did not dare to ask him anything again. C20.40 idem S20.41 And he said to them, Why do the scribes say that the messiah is the son of David? C20.41 idem S20.42 And David himself says in the writing of his psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, C20.42 And David himself says in the writing of the psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, S20.43 Until I place your enemies as a footstool under your feet. C20.43 Until I place your enemies under your feet. S20.44 If David therefore called him lord, how is he his son? C20.44 idem

LUKE: CHAPTER 21

S20.45 And as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples: C20.45 idem S20.46 Beware of the scribes who wish to walk about in the porches and love greetings in the streets, and the most honored seats in the synagogue, and the head seats at banquets. C20.46 idem S20.47 And they devour the houses of widows. For a pretext they make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation. C20.47 idem

CHAPTER 21 S21.1 C21.1 S21.2 C21.2 S21.3 C21.3 S21.4 C21.4 S21.5

And he lifted his eyes and saw rich men casting their offerings into the treasury. idem And he saw also a certain poor woman, and she was casting in two farthings. And he saw also a certain poor widow, and she was casting in two farthings. He said, Truly I say to you that this poor widow cast in more than all of them. idem For they who cast into the treasury from what is surplus to them, but she cast in from her want1 all the possessions she had. idem And when men spoke about the temple being ornamented with fine stones and offerings, he said to them,

C21.5

And when men spoke about the temple being ornamented with fine stones and offerings, he said.

S21.6

You see these stones? The days are coming when not one stone will be left upon (another) stone that is not broken down. You see these? The days are coming when not one stone will be left here upon (another) stone that is not broken down.

C21.6 S21.7 C21.7 S21.8 C21.8 S21.9 C21.9

And they inquired and said to him, Teacher, when will these things be and what is the sign that they are beginning to take place?1 idem Now he said to them, Watch lest you stray, for many will come in my name and say it is I and the time is near. Do not go after them. idem And when you hear of wars and trouble, do not fear, for these things will take place first, but the end has not yet come. idem

S21.10 For nation will arise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. C21.10 idem S21.11 And great earthquakes in various places, and plagues in various places, and famines and there will be fear from heaven,2 and great signs will be seen.3

Lit. “beginning to be.” Or “dreadful things from the sky.” 3 This differs from the Greek, for in the Greek the signs are in the sky, whereas here the location of the great signs is not specified. They could just as easily be signs on earth. 1 2

C21.11 And great earthquakes in various places, and plagues, and famines and there will be fear from heaven, and great signs will be seen, and great storms.1 S21.12 For before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you and turn you over to the synagogues and prisons and bring you before kings and governors because of my name. C21.12 idem S21.13 But let it be a testimony to you. C21.13 But let it be this testimony to you. S21.14 And put into your hearts not to rehearse how to defend yourself, C21.14 idem S21.15 For I will give to each one a mouth and wisdom such that none of your enemies will be able to withstand you. C21.15 For I will give to each one a mouth and wisdom such that none of your enemies will be able to withstand it. S21.16 For your brothers, and your people, and your relatives, and your friends will betray you and will kill some of you. C21.16 Your people, and your brothers, and your relatives, and your friends will betray you and will kill some of you. S21.17 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. C21.17 idem S21.18 But not one hair (lit. “hair of the hairs”)of your head will be lost. C21.18 (this verse not present in C) S21.19 For by enduring you will possess your souls.

The only Greek text to mention “storms” (χειµωνες) is ms. 1012, which is an 11th century ms containing the gospels. However, it is found in the following Vetus Latina mss.: Vercellensis (4th cent.), Aureus (7th cent.), Colbertinus (12th or 13th cent.), Corbeiensis II (5th cent.), Vindobonensis (5th cent.), Rhedigeranus (7th or 8th cent.), Monacensis (7th cent.), Usserianus I (7th cent.), and Ambrosianus ((5th cent.). This fact may point to a connection between the Old Latin texts and the Old Syriac texts. 1

C21.19 But by enduring you will possess your souls. S21.20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by an army, know that her desolation is near. C21.20 idem S21.21 And those who are in Judea should flee to the mountain, and those inside her1 should go out from her, and those in the villages should not enter her. C21.21 idem S21.22 Because those are the days of vengeance, that all which is written might be fulfilled. C21.22 idem S21.23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing,2 in those days, for there will be great distress and wrath upon this people. C21.23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing, in those days, for there will be great distress on the earth and severe wrath upon this people. S21.24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and carried off captive everywhere, and Jerusalem will be trampled by all the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. C21.24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and carried off captive to all peoples,3 and Jerusalem will be trampled by all the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. S21.25 And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars, and distress in the earth and faltering4 of the gentiles and sounds of the sea.

Meaning Jerusalem Actually, the KJV phrase “give suck” is a very literal translation. 3 Or “to all the gentiles.” 4‫ܐ ܐ‬ ‫ ܪܘ‬is literally “paralysis of the hands” i.e. helplessness. 1 2

C21.25 And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars, and distress in the earth and anxiety1 of the gentiles and sounds of the sea. S21.26 And earthquakes, and mens souls will leave for fear of what is to come upon the earth, and the powers of heaven will shake. C21.26 idem S21.27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with numerous hosts, and in glory. C21.27 idem S21.28 Now when these things begin to take place, look out and raise your heads, because your redemption is nigh. C21.28 idem S21.29 And he said to them this parable, Look at the fig tree and all the trees. C21.29 idem S21.30 For when the buds come forth and give their fruit, you understand that summer is near. C21.30 idem S21.31 Thus also when you see these things take place, know that the kingdom of heaven is near. C21.31 idem S21.32 Verily I say to you that this generation will not pass until all these things take place.2 C21.32 idem

1 The phrase ‫ܐ ܐ‬ is translated by Payne Smith as “clapping the hands,” but by Louis Costaz as “anxiety, distress.” 2 Lit. “will be,” but the tone is not adequately rendered by that English phrase. The message is closer to “come to pass” or “take place.”

C21.34 Take heed to yourselves that your hearts do not cool in provisions of the flesh, or in drunkenness with wine and in cares of the world and that day come upon you silently.

LUKE: CHAPTER 22

S22.11 To the house that he enters and say to the owner of the house, our Rabbi says, where is the guest room where my disciples and I can eat the Passover? C22.11 idem S22.12 Behold, he will show you a large upper room for guests. Prepare for us there. C22.12 idem S22.13 And they went and found it as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. C22.13 idem S22.14 And when it was time, they sat down, and his disciples1 with him. C22.14 And when it was time, they sat down, and his apostles with him. S22.15 He said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat the Passover with you before I suffer. C22.15 idem S22.16 For I say to you that from now on I will not eat it until the kingdom of God is completed.2 C22.16 idem S22.17 He took the cup and gave thanks over it and said, Take this, divide it among you. C22.17 idem S22.18 For I say to you that from now on I will not drink of this fruit until I the kingdom of God comes.

It appears that S is the only NT witness to say his “disciples” sat with him (instead of his “apostles”), for the (normally) reliable GNT apparatus does not list any other ms as saying “disciples.” If that is indeed true, then it is at least interesting to note that at the time of the redaction of S the term “apostles” had not become the fixed title for the twelve. 2 The connotation of ‫ ܬ‬is that of “perfected in its full and final form.” In any case, the subject of that verb (the thing to be finished or perfected) is clearly the Kingdom of God and not the Passover (as in the Greek). 1

C22.19 And he took the bread and gave thanks over it and broke it and gave it to them and said, This is my body which is for your sakes. Therefore do it in remembrance of me.

C22.22 And the Son of man goes, as was decreed for him, but woe to him by whose hand he is betrayed. S22.23 And they began to discuss among themselves who it was who would commit this thing. C22.23 idem S22.24 And there was a controversy among them over who was the greatest among them. C22.24 idem S22.25 He said to them, The kings of the gentiles are their masters, and those who rule them and do good are called benefactors. C22.25 Our Lord said to them, The kings of the gentiles are their masters, and those who rule them and do good are called benefactors. S22.26 But you are not that way, but he who would be greatest among you should be as the least, and he who (would be) the head should be like a servant.

S22.31 Simon, Simon, behold Satan desires to sift you1 as wheat. C22.31 idem S22.32 But I have desired that your faith might not be lacking, and you too in time, be converted,2 and strengthen your brothers. C22.32 idem S22.33 He said to him, Lord, I am prepared to go with you even into prison, even to the death. C22.33 He said to him, Lord, I am prepared to go with you even into prison, and even to the death. S22.34 He said to him, I say to you, Cepha, that before the rooster crows today you will deny three times that you know me.

The “you” in this verse is plural, but in the next verse it will shift into the singular. 2 The term “be converted” is actually an imperative. This is true in both S and C even though they use different words (synonyms). 1

They said to him, Nothing. C22.35 idem S22.36 He said to them, from this time on, whoever has a purse or bag, let him take it. And whoever has none, let him sell his coat and buy himself a sword. C22.36 He said to them, from this time on, whoever has a purse or bag, let him take it. And whoever has no sword, let him sell his coat and buy himself a sword. S22.37 For I say to you, that also this which is written must be fulfilled in me, that I will be counted with the wicked and whatever I have to do will be accomplished. C22.37 idem S22.38 And they said to Jesus, Behold, here are two swords. He said to them, They are enough for you. C22.38 And they said to our Lord, Behold, we have here two swords. He said to them, They are enough. Arise, let us go. S22.39 And he left and went as was his custom to the mountain called The House of Olives, and his disciples with him. C22.39 And he left and went as was his custom to the mountain called The House of Olives, and his disciples also went with him. S22.40 And when he reached the place he said to them, Pray that you don’t enter into temptation. C22.40 And when he reached the place he said to them, Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.

In C the phrase is literally “you will deny me, that you don’t know me.” or “wallet.”

S22.45 And he arose from his prayer and came to his disciples (and) found them sleeping because of their distress. C22.45 idem S22.46 And he said to them, Why are you sleeping? Arise (and) pray that you do not enter into temptation. C22.46 idem S22.47 And as he was speaking, a large crowd appeared, and the one called Judah, one of the twelve, came before them and approached (and) kissed Jesus.

C22.52 And he said to those chief priests, and temple soldiers and elders, You have come upon me as upon a robber, with swords and staffs. S22.53 Every day that I was with you in the temple you did not lay a hand on me, but this is your hour, and your power of darkness.

S22.64 And they covered his face1 and said to him, Prophesy, who is beating you? C22.64 idem S22.65 And again many things they spoke against him as blasphemy. C22.65 idem S22.66 And when it was dawn the elders of the people gathered and the chief priests and the scribes. And they took him up to their synagogue. C22.66 And when it was dawn the elders gathered and the chief priests and the scribes. And they took him up to their synagogue. S22.67 And they said, If you are the Messiah, tell us. He said to them, If I say it to you, you will not believe me. C22.67 idem S22.68 And if I ask you, you will not give me an answer, and neither will you release me. C22.68 idem S22.69 For after this the Son of man will sit at the right hand of God. C22.69 For after this the Son of man will sit at the right hand of the power2 of God. S22.70 They all said, Are you indeed the Son of God? He said to them, You have said that I am. C22.70 idem S22.71 They said, Why are we seeking testimony? For behold, we have heard it from his own mouth! C22.71 idem

i.e. blindfolded him. Since S is the only version lacking “of the power,” one might suspect that that phrase was added at a very early date to dampen the anthropomorphic reference inherent in S.

And he turned over Jesus to their will. C23.25 And he released to them the one who had been cast into prison for murders and heresies, as they asked. And he turned over Jesus to their will. S23.26 And as they were leading him away they seized Simon the Cyrenian, who had come from a village, to carry the cross, and he followed Jesus.

C23.27 idem S23.28 And Jesus turned and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. C23.28 And Jesus turned toward them and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. S23.29 For the days are coming in which you will say, Blessed are the barren and the wombs which did not bear and the breasts that did not nurse. C23.29 idem S23.30 And you will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us. C23.30 idem

LUKE: CHAPTER 23

S23.31 If1 they do these things with the green wood, what will they do with the dry?2 C23.31 If they do these things with the green wood, what will the dry become? S23.32 And they brought with him two evildoers to be killed. C23.32 And they brought with him two other evildoers to be killed. S23.33 And when they came to the place which is called the skull, they crucified him there; and the two evildoers, one on his right and one on his left. C23.33 idem S23.34 And they divided his garments and cast lots for them. C23.34 And Jesus responded and said, My Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided his garments and cast lots for them. S23.35 And the people were standing (there) and watching. And the rulers were mocking him with them, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Messiah, the Chosen of God. C23.35 idem S23.36 And the soldiers also mocked him and approached him, C23.36 idem S23.37 And said, Greetings. If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. And they also put a crown of thorns on his head. C23.37 idem S23.38 And a label was written and placed above him, This is the king of the Jews.

Lit. “that.” I am going to hazard a guess at the meaning of this enigmatic verse. The contrast is between green wood which is young and in a developing stage as opposed to dry wood which is mature. It is therefore possible that he is saying that if they do these things to the young church in its formative stages, how much greater will be the opposition when the church has grown and matured.

LUKE: CHAPTER 23

C23.46 And Jesus called out in a loud voice and said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit, and I die.1 S23.47 And when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, Truly this was a righteous man. C23.47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, Truly this is a righteous man. S23.48 And all those who were present there and saw what had happened smote their chests and said, Woe to us, what has happened to us? Woe to us because of our sins! C23.48 idem S23.49 And Jesus’ female relatives2 and the women who had come with him from the Galilee were standing at a distance and watching these things. C23.49 idem S23.50 And a certain man whose name was Joseph was a counsellor, a just and good man from Arimathea, a city of Judah. C23.50 idem S23.51 And he was watching for the kingdom of heaven; this one who did not share the opinion of the slanderers.3 C23.51 idem S23.52 He approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. C23.52 He approached and asked for the body of Jesus. S23.53 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and placed it in a hewn out tomb in which no man had been placed until then. C23.53 And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and placed it in a hewn out tomb in which no man had been buried until then.

The verb form ‫ ܐ‬could be pe‘al 1s “I die” or aph‘el 3ms “he surrendered.” The meaning of the Syriac word here is not clear. It seems to refer to female relatives, but the exact relationship to Jesus is not clear because this is a very rare word. 3 Lit. “this one who did not make his opinion equal with the slanderers.” 1 2

LUKE: CHAPTER 24

S23.54 And it was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was dawning. C23.54 idem S23.55 And those women who had come with him from the Galilee came to the tomb soon after them and saw the corpse as they took it in there. C23.55 idem S23.56 And they1 returned (and) prepared sweet spices and scented oil and rested on the sabbath as was prescribed. C23.56 idem

CHAPTER 24

C24.1

Now on the first day of the week at dawn they came2 to the tomb and brought what was prepared and other women came with them. idem

S24.2 C24.2

And they found3 the stone rolled away from the tomb. idem

S24.3 C24.3

And they entered and did not find the body of Jesus. idem

S24.1

We would expect that it was the women who returned and prepared the spices, but the verb form here is masculine singular. There are two possibilities: either it refers to Joseph, or else it is supposed to be feminine plural but was written defectively. I prefer the latter solution because in the next chapter this pericope is continued and in 24:2 where it is clearly still talking about the women, the verb form also appears to be masc. singular when it can only be fem. plural “they found.” 2 The verb here is feminine, so this refers to the women. 3 In this and the following verses the verb appears to be masc. singular, but it is actually fem. plural, because the women are clearly the subject of each of these verbs. This can occur because the final yod was not pronounced, and therefore not always written. When it is not written, the verb has the same form as masc. sing. 1

About 7.5 miles. Lit. “what are these words you are speaking as you are sad?” 3‫ܐ‬ Syriac but it is a Greek name, so I will leave it in the more familiar form. 4 Lit. “from” but the meaning is that he is not from Jerusalem or familiar with it. 5 Lit. “something that was in it.” 1 2

LUKE: CHAPTER 24

S24.19 He said to them, Why? They told him about Jesus of Nazareth who was a man, a prophet and was capable of power and (great) deeds before God and before all the people. C24.19 idem S24.20 And the chief priests and elders betrayed him to the condemnation of death and crucified him. C24.20 idem S24.21 And we were thinking that he would redeem Israel, but behold, it is three days since all these things took place. C24.21 idem S24.22 And even our women went to the tomb where he had been placed. C24.22 idem S24.23 And when they did not find his body, they came (and) said to us that they had seen angels there, and they were amazed and said about him that he is alive. C24.23 idem S24.24 And also our men went to the tomb and found it just as he women had said, but they did not see him. C24.24 idem S24.25 Then Jesus said to them, Oh you who lack understanding and are slow of heart to believe all those things which the prophets spoke. C24.25 Then Jesus said to them, Oh you who lack faith and are slow of heart to believe all those things which the prophets spoke. S24.26 Were not these things for the Messiah to bear and to enter into his glory? C24.26 idem

S24.27 And he began to speak to them, from Moses and from all the prophets and he explained to them about himself from all the scriptures. C24.27 idem S24.28 And they neared the village where they were going and he appeared to them as though he were going to a far place. C24.28 idem S24.29 And they began asking him to remain with them, because it was nearly dark, and he went in with them to be with them. C24.29 idem S24.30 And when he sat down he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. C24.30 idem S24.31 And immediately their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he was taken from them.

S24.35 And also these told them the things which had happened on the road, and how he was made known when he broke the bread. C24.35 idem S24.36 And as they were speaking, he was found standing in their midst, and he said to them, Peace be unto you. C24.36 idem S24.37 And they were troubled and alarmed, and they thought they were seeing a spirit. C24.37 idem S24.38 Then Jesus said to them, Why are you troubled? And why do concerns arise in your hearts? C24.38 idem S24.39 Behold, see my hands and feet, and touch them and see that it is I. For a spirit does not have flesh and bone as you see that I have. C24.39 idem S24.40 (this verse not present in Sinaiticus) C24.40 (this verse not present in Curetonianus) S24.41 And while they had not believed until now because of their joy and their fear, and they were astonished. Again he said to them, Do you have anything here to eat. C24.41 idem S24.42 And they gave him a portion of roasted fish. C24.42 And they gave him a portion of roasted fish, and of honeycomb. S24.43 And he took it and ate it in front of their eyes. C24.43 And he took it and ate it in front of their eyes, and picked up what remained (and) gave it to them.1

S24.46 And he said to them that it is thus fitting for the Messiah to suffer and to arise from the tomb after three days.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

672

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1 (John 1:47-2:15 of Sinaiticus is on a lost leaf) C1.1

In the beginning was the word and the word was in the presence of1 God, and God was the word.

C1.2

This one was in the presence of God in the beginning.

C1.3

Everything was in him, and without him there was not a single thing. But he was something that was.

C1.4

In him was life,2 and life was the light of men.

C1.5

And that light was shining in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake3 it.

C1.6

There was a man who was sent by God. His name was John.4

C1.7

He came as a testimony, to witness of the light, and so that all men might believe through him.5

C1.8

He was not himself the light, but he was a witness6 of the light.

The word here is ‫ ܬ‬which does not really mean “with” (that would be the Syriac word ), but rather it corresponds to French chez or German bei meaning “at the house of” or “in the presence of” or “associated with.” 2 The word ‫ܐ‬ is used for both “life” and “salvation” so the verse could also be translated, “In him was salvation, and salvation was the light of men.” 3 The word ‫ ܐܕܪ‬comes from a root meaning “to tread (upon).” In the aph‘el form as here, it can mean either “to catch up with,” “to overtake” or “to understand.” I have no way of knowing for sure which nuance was intended, but since there are other Syriac words for “understand,” I suspect that the message here was that the darkness did not extinguish the light. 4 The Syriac is Yuhanan, but I will leave it in the familiar form for the sake of simplicity. 5 Lit. “by his hand.” 6 The Syriac word for witness is especially nice, because it also has the meaning of “martyr,” which is appropriate in John’s case. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

C1.9

But there was a true light, which enlightens every man who comes into the world.

C1.10

He was in the world and that world was in him, and the world did not know him.

C1.11

He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.

C1.12

But those who accepted him, he gave to them authority1 to become the sons of God; those who believed in his name;

C1.13

Those who were born, not in blood, nor from the desire of the body, nor from the will of man, but of God.

C1.14

And the word was2 flesh and abode among us, and we saw his glory, like the glory of the only (begotten) which was from the Father, full of goodness and truth.

C1.15

And John testified of him and called out and said, This is he whom I said would come after me, and he was the first because he was before me.

C1.16

And we all received of his fullness and goodness for goodness.

C1.17

That the law was given by Moses, and goodness and truth were (given) by Jesus the Messiah.

C1.18

No man has ever seen God; his only (begotten) Son, who is from the bosom of his Father, has told us (about him).

C1.19

And this was the testimony of John, when the Jews and chief priests and Levites sent to him from Jerusalem and asked him, Who are you?

This word could be translated as “power” as in the KJV, but there is another Syriac word which means “power” in the sense of “strength” (‫) ܐ‬, whereas the word used here (‫ܐ‬ ) derives from a root which means “to rule” and hence, it more properly means “authority.” 2 Syr. ‫ ܗܘܐ‬could also be translated “became” but the most literal meaning is “was.” 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

C1.20

And he admitted and said, I am not the messiah.

C1.21

And they said to him, Are you a prophet? He said to them, No.

C1.22

They said to him, And who are you? Tell us that we may give word to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

C1.23

He said, I am the voice that cries in the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said.

C1.24

And they sent (word back to those who sent them). (text of Sinaiticus resumes with the following verse)

S1.25 C1.25 S1.26 C1.26 S1.27 C1.27 S1.28 C1.28 S1.29 C1.29

. . . (text broken) . . . then do you baptize if you are not the messiah, nor Elijah, nor a prophet? And they said to him, Why then do you baptize if you are not the messiah, nor Elijah, nor a prophet? John said to them, I baptize with water, for there is one standing among you whom you do not know. idem He who is coming after me is he whose shoe laces I am not worthy to untie. idem He spoke these things in Bethabara on the other side of the Jordan where John was baptizing. He spoke these things in Bethabara on the other side of the Jordan river where John was baptizing. And the following day he saw our Lord coming to him, and he said, Behold, the lamb of God! Behold, he who takes the sins of the world! And the following day he saw Jesus coming to him, and he said, Behold, the lamb of God! Behold, he who takes the sins of the world!

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

He it is of whom I said that a man was coming after me, and he was the first because he was before me. idem And I did not know him, but because he will be known to Israel, (therefore) I came to baptize with water. And I did not know him, but because he will be known to Israel, therefore I came to baptize with water. And John testified and said, I saw the Holy Spirit descend from heaven and rest upon him. And John testified and said, I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him. And I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize, he said to me, He upon whom you see the spirit descend and rest, he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. And I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom you see the spirit descend and rest, he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

And our Lord turned and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi, where are you? And Jesus turned and saw those who were following him. He said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi, where are you?1 He said to them? Come and you will see. And they followed him and saw where he was, and they were with him that day, and it was about the tenth hour. idem And one of those disciples of John, was named Andrew, the brother of Simon; And one of those disciples of John, was named Andrew, the brother of Simon Cepha; And Andrew saw Simon his brother at the dawn of day, and he said to him, My brother, we have found the messiah!2 And Andrew saw Simon Cepha his brother, and he said to him, We have found the messiah!

It is apparent from the subsequent verses that this question regarded where he was staying/living. 2 At this point, the Greek text (GNT) adds the phrase, “which is, being interpreted, the Christ.” That is because the Greek used the Aramaic word (presumably to show that Andrew spoke to Peter in Aramaic) and then had to interpret it into the Greek equivalent for a Greek speaking audience. The presence of this verse in the Greek and its absence in the Syriac does not provide prima facie evidence for the priority of the Syriac, because one could argue that even if the Syriac had been translated from the Greek, the translator might have found the phrase unnecessary for the Syriac audience (who were naturally familiar with the Aramaic word) and therefore omitted it. But it does give us evidence that the Greek was not aimed at the people of Palestine, who would have known Aramaic and therefore would not have needed that explanation. Rather, it indicates that the Greek writer (or translator) was aiming his work at an audience that would not have been familiar with the Aramaic word. Therefore we must suppose that he was writing (or translating) for an audience in the West. And since it is unlikely that John would have aimed his gospel at the West (in view of a shifting view of John in recent decades toward recognition of the very Jewish nature of his work), we may at least assume that this phrase was not present in the original writing, but was added by a Greek translator or redactor. It may thus be at least weakly suggestive of the priority of the Syriac/Aramaic version. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 1

And he led him and came to our Lord. Our Lord looked at him and said to him, You are Simon bar Jonah. You will be called Cepha, which translated into Greek is Peter.1 And he led him and came to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said to him . . . . . . (text of C breaks off here and resumes again at the end of John 3:5)

S1.43

And the following day he wished to leave for the Galilee, and he found Philip and our Lord said to him, Follow me.

S1.44

For Philip’s family was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Simon.

S1.45

And Philip found Nathanael and Philip said to Nathanael, We have found him of whom Moses and the prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.

S1.46

Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see!

S1.47

And he saw him . . . (text broken here for the rest of this chapter and the beginning of chapter 2) . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One might ask why the writer (or redactor, or translator) of Sinaiticus did not find it necessary to translate Messiah (which means “anointed” just as the Greek word from which we derive “Christ” means “anointed”), but he found it necessary to translate Cepha. The answer is probably this: Jesus was always called the Messiah among Aramaic speakers and never christos, while the Greek form of Cepha, i.e. Peter (Cepha is Aramiac for “rock” just as Peter is from Greek petros which means “rock) was occasionally heard. Interesting, this translating phrase is not present in the Peshitta, and normally one would assume that such a phrase was a later emendation, but no one would argue that the Peshitta version is earlier than the Sinaiticus. Therefore we must assume that it was present at a very early stage.

JOHN: CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2 (text broken for the first 15 verses and nothing from Curetonianus is preserved for this section either) . . . . . S2.16

And he said to them who were selling doves, Take these away from here and do not make my Father’s house of merchandise!

S2.17

When he did these things, his disciples remembered what is written, The ardent desire for your house has consumed me.

S2.18

The Jews said to him, What sign will you show us that you do these things?

S2.19

Our Lord answered and said to them, Break down the temple and in three days I will raise it up.

S2.20

They said to him, It took forty six years to build this temple,1 and you will build it in three days?

S2.21

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

S2.22

But when he had arisen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said these things, and they believed the scriptures and the words our Lord had spoken.

S2.23

And when he was in Jerusalem, on the feast of unleavened bread, many believed our Lord because they saw the signs that he did for them.

S2.24

But our Lord did not entrust himself to them.

S2.25

And it was not necessary that any man should testify of the deeds of (any) man, for he knew what was in the hearts of men.

Lit. “for forty six years this temple was built/being built.”

CHAPTER 3 S3.1

And there was there a man of the Pharisees, and his name was Nicodemus, and this man was a ruler of the Jews.

S3.2

He came to our Lord at night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you were sent to us from God as a teacher, because no man can do these miracles unless God is with him.

S3.3

Our Lord said to him, Verily, verily I say to you that unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

S3.4

Nicodemus said to him, How can an old man be born, since he cannot enter again into his mother’s womb and be born all over again?

S3.5

Our Lord said to him, Verily, verily I say to you, that unless a man is born of the spirit and water, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (Text of C resumes) . . . . . the kingdom of God.

C3.5 S3.6 C3.6

S3.7 C3.7

Whatever is born of flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of spirit is spirit, because God is a living spirit. Whatever is born of flesh is flesh, because it was born of flesh, and whatever is born of spirit is spirit, because God is a living spirit, and it was born of God. And do not marvel that I have said to you1 to be born. And do not marvel that I have said to you that it is fitting for you2 to be born from on high.

1 2

The word “you” is plural in S but singular in the other Syriac versions. The first “you” in this verse was singular, but this “you” is plural.

Verily I say to you, that what we know we speak, and what we see we testify of it, and you do not receive our testimony. Verily, verily I say to you, that what we know we speak, and what we see we testify of it, and you do not receive our testimony. If I have spoken to you concerning these things which are of the earth and you do not believe, how will you believe if I speak to you concerning the things of heaven? idem And no one has ascended to heaven except he who descended from heaven. It is the Son of man who is from1 heaven. And no one has ascended to heaven except he who descended from heaven. It is the Son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so will the Son of man be lifted up. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so it is fitting that the Son of man be lifted up. In this case it is S which makes sense. All other Syriac versions (and also the Greek) say the Son of man is “in” heaven, which would be impossible if that term is to refer to Jesus, who was not in heaven, but standing in front of them. But in S, the Son of man is “from” heaven, which still allows that term to refer to Jesus. This leaves, however, the question of why C changed “from” to “in.” It is quite possibly due to theological trends in the christology of the early Christians.

JOHN: CHAPTER 3

So that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life. So that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. For thus did God love the world that he sent his only begotten, so that everyone who would believe in him would not perish, but would have eternal life. For thus did God love the world that he gave his only begotten, so that everyone who would believe in him would not perish, but would have eternal life. For God did not send his Son to condemn1 the world, but so that the world might live in him. For God did not send his Son to the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might live in him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, and whoever does not believe in him is condemned because he did not believe in the name of the chosen2 son. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, and whoever does not believe is guilty because he did not believe in the name of the only son of God. This is the judgment, that light came into the world, and the world loved darkness more than light because its works are evil. idem3 For everyone who does hateful things hates the light, and does not come to the light so that his works are not seen. For everyone who does hateful things hates the light, and does not come to the light so that there will be no reproof for his works.

This word may be translated as either “condemn” or simply “judge.” There may be a theological difference in English, but it is not possible to know which meaning was intended by the Syriac writer. 2 The adjective ‫ܐ‬ ‫ ܒ‬usually means “careful” in Syriac, but I believe this is a Hebraism, for the Hebrew root ‫ בחר‬means “to choose.” 3 This is one of those rare verses where the syntax of C is quite different, but the message is the same. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 3

And he who does good things approaches the light so that his works may be seen, that they are done in God. But he who does truth comes into the light so that his works may be seen, that they are done in God. And after these things our Lord and his disciples came to Judea and was baptized there and dwelled with them.1 And after these things Jesus and his disciples went out to the land of Judea and there he returned2 with them and was baptizing.

C3.23

And John was also baptizing at Ein Nun, which is on the banks of Salim, because there was much water there, and people were coming and being baptized. idem

S3.24 C3.24

For John had not yet been cast into prison at that time. idem

S3.25

Now there was a question between one of John’s disciples and the Jews over purification. This is a very ambiguous verse, because there are two letters in Syriac which are distinguished only by the position of the dot. If the dot is above the letter it is a resh and if it is below the letter it is a dalath. In some very early Syriac mss there is no dot at all. In Sinaiticus, perhaps because it was a palimpsest, the dots are occasionally not visible. According to George Kiraz’s transcription, there is no dot in two words in this verse, both of which could therefore be read either as or , the former meaning “was baptized” and the latter meaning “dwelled.” Therefore we could translate the last portion of this verse in four ways: “. . . and he dwelled there, and he dwelled with them.” “. . . and he was baptized there and he was baptized with them.” “. . . and he dwelled there and was baptized with them.” “. . . and he was baptized there and dwelled with them.” The first two possibilities are unlikely, because the repetition does not seem appropriate. Either of the last two possibilities might be considered. In any case, the one thing which is excluded by our text is the idea that Jesus himself baptized, because the word is only passive in that sense. However, in all the other Syriac versions, an active form (the aph‘el form) is used, indicating, as in the Greek, that he himself performed baptisms. But this is not the message in this particular verse in Sinaiticus. Nevertheless, Sinaiticus does not dispute that Jesus baptized, as will be evident in verse 26. 2 I am not really sure how to translate the word ‫ܗ‬ in this verse, because it normally means “changed” or “converted,” but those would not seem appropriate here. In the pe‘al it simply means “returned.” 1

John said to them, A man cannot receive anything at all, unless it is given to him from heaven. idem But you are my witnesses1 that I said that I was not the messiah, but I was sent before him. idem

C3.29

Because he that has the bride is the bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom is he who stands and listens for him, and rejoices greatly because of the voice of that bridegroom. Therefore my joy is finished. idem

S3.30 C3.30

It is appropriate for him to increase and for me to decrease. For it is appropriate for him to increase and for me to decrease.

S3.31

Because he who came from above, is above everything. And he who is from the earth is on the earth and speaks from the earth;2 and he who comes from heaven is above everything. For he who came from above, is above everything. And he who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; but he who is from heaven is coming.

S3.32 C3.32

And whatever he has heard or seen, he testifies (of it). Whatever he has seen and heard, he testifies (of it), but not everyone receives his testimony.

And there was Jacob’s spring of water, and our Lord came and sat upon the well in order to rest from the toil of the way, and when our Lord sat down it was the sixth hour. Now there was Jacob’s spring of water, and Jesus came and sat upon the well in order to rest from the toil of the way, and when Jesus sat down it was about the sixth hour. And a certain woman of Samaria came to draw1 water, and our Lord said to her, Give me water to drink. And a certain woman of Samaria came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, Give me water to drink. And his disciples had (already) entered into that city to buy themselves provisions. idem That Samaritan woman said to him, Behold, you are a Jew. How can you ask me for water to drink? Because the Jews do not have anything to do with the Samaritans. That Samaritan woman said to him, Behold, you are a Jew. How can you ask me for water to drink? Behold, I am a Samaritan. For the Jews do not have anything to do with the Samaritans. He said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, give me to drink, you would be asking him and he would give to you living water. Jesus said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, give me to drink, you would be asking him and he would give to you living water. She said to him, You do not even have a bucket, and the well is deep. From where will you get living water? That woman said to him, My Lord, you do not even have a bucket, and the well is deep. From where will you get living water?

Are you greater than Jacob our father, who gave us this well, and he drank from it, and his children and his sheep? idem Our Lord said to her, Anyone who drinks from this water will thirst again.

S4.24 C4.24

Our Lord said to her, Woman, believe me that the time if coming that neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me that the time is coming that neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know, but we worship what we know, that salvation is from Judah.2 idem But behold, the time is coming and is now, that true worshippers will worship the father in the Spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such worshippers. But the time is coming and is now, that true worshippers will worship the father in the Spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such worshippers. Those who worship him in the Spirit3 and in truth. For God is spirit, and those who worship him in the Spirit should worship him in the Spirit and in truth.

This “you” is plural, meaning “you Jews” who differed with the Samaritans on where one could properly worship. The tradition among the Samaritans was that Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ebal were sacred places of worship, while the Jews claimed that the temple in Jerusalem was the only real center for worship. 2 Curetonianus agrees with Sinaiticus in saying that salvation is from Judah, whereas the Peshitta says it is from the Jews. 3 The original definite article in Syriac was simply an aleph suffix, but already at an early stage almost all nouns were written routinely with a suffixed aleph, whether they were intended to be definite or not, so that there was no longer any useful distinction between definite and indefinite nouns. For that reason, it is not possible to know whether the writer here meant “worship in the Spirit” (meaning Holy Spirit), or simply “in spirit” (as it appears in the Greek). 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 4

That woman said, Behold, the messiah is coming, and when he comes, he will give (us) everything. That woman said to him, I know that the messiah is coming, and when he comes, he will restore1 everything to us.

S4.26 C4.26

Our Lord said to her, I am he who is speaking with you. Jesus said to her, I am he who is speaking with you.

S4.27

And while they were talking, his disciples came and marveled that he was standing and talking to a woman, but they did not say a word to him such as, What were you looking for? or what did you say to her? And while they were talking, his disciples came and marveled that he was talking to a woman, but they did not say a word to him such as, What were you looking for? or what did you say to her?

C4.27

S4.28 C4.28

And that woman left her pitcher and ran to the city and said, And that woman left her pitcher and ran to the city and said to the people,

S4.29 C4.29

Come see the man who told me everything I did. Is he not the messiah? idem

S4.30 C4.30

And all who heard it went out to him. And they went out from the city and came to him.

S4.31 C4.31

And his disciples wanted him to eat bread with them. idem

S4.32 C4.32

He said to them, I have food to eat which you do not know about. idem

The word here, ‫ ܒ ܩ‬, can also mean “to show, declare, point out,” but I chose to translate it as “restore,” because that is a legitimate meaning, and the meaning of “show, declare” could have been conveyed unambiguously using the more common verb ‫ ܐ‬. But there is a second point of interest, and that is the fact that each of the Syriac versions differs at this point in the verse: S says “he will give (us) everything,” while C says “he will restore everything to us”, and P says “he will teach us everything,” while H says “he will make everything known to us.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 4

S4.33

They said to each other, Did someone bring him something to eat? C4.33 idem

S4.34

He said to them, The food I have is to do the will of him who sent me, and I will complete his work. Jesus said to them, The food I have is to do the will of him who sent me, and I will complete his work.

C4.34 S4.35 C4.35

S4.36 C4.36 S4.37 C4.37

Do you not say that there are another four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the lands1 that are white and ready for the harvest. Do you not say that there are four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the lands that are white and ready for the harvest. And even now the reaper receives wages and gathers the fruit unto eternal life, and the sower and the reaper will rejoice together. idem For in this is the true saying that one sows and another reaps. . . . . . text of S is broken here up to 5:6 idem

C4.38

I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor, but these labored and you entered into their toil.

C4.39

And many of that number from Samaria believe in him because of the testimony of the woman, who said, He told me everything I had done.

C4.40

And those Samaritans came to him, asking him to stay with them, and he stayed with them two days.

Unlike the word χωριον which is used in the Greek text and means “field” or “a piece of ground,” the Syriac word used here, ‫ܐܪ ܐ‬, has the broader meaning of “lands” or “countries” as well as “fields,” and is therefore theologically more pregnant with meaning. Indeed, because it is not the usual word for “fields” it therefore points the reader to the meaning of “lands” and is thus a clearer reference to the preaching of the gospel.

JOHN: CHAPTER 4

C4.41

And many believed in him because of his word.1

C4.42

And they said to that woman, Now therefore, not because of your word do we believe in him, but we have heard him and know that he is truly the savior of the world.

C4.43

After those two days Jesus departed from there to the Galilee.

C4.44

For Jesus testified that a prophet is not honored in his own city.2

C4.45

And when he arrived3 the Galileans received him when they saw what he had done in Jerusalem during the feast days, for they too had come to the feasts.

C4.46

And he came again to Qatne4 of the Galilee, the place where he had made the water into wine. And there was in Capernaum servant of the king whose son was sick.

C4.47

When he heard that Jesus was coming from the Galilee to Judea, he came to him and asked him to come down and see his son, because he was near death.

C4.48

Jesus said to him, If you do not see signs and miracles you do not believe.

C4.49

The servant of the king said to him, My lord, come down before the boy dies.

C4.50

Jesus said to him, Go to your home, behold, your son lives. And the man believed the word of Jesus.

1 ‫ܐ‬ is “word” but also “speaking, precept, saying” etc. It is also corresponds to Greek λογος 2 P also says “city” while H says “in his own place,” using ‫ ܐܬܪܐ‬to translate Greek πατρις (H is the slavish adaptation of the Greek text done by Thomas of Harkel in the early seventh century). 3 Lit. “had come.” 4 “Cana” in the Greek text.

JOHN: CHAPTER 5

C4.51

And as he was going, his servants met him and brought him tidings and said to him, Your son lives!

C4.52

And he asked them at what time he got better. They said to him, Yesterday at the ninth1 hour the fever left him.

C4.53

And his father knew that that was the time that Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he and all his household believed.

C4.54

This was the second miracle that Jesus did when he came from Judea to the Galilee.

CHAPTER 5 C5.1

After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

C5.2

And there was, in Jerusalem, a certain place of washing called in Hebrew Beth Hesda,2 and there were five porches.

C5.3

And in the porches were lying many who were sick and blind, and withered, and lame.

C5.4

(this verse not represented in C)

C5.5

And there was there a certain man who had been sick for thirty eight years.

S5.6 C5.6

(S resumes with verse 6) . . . our Lord knew that he had been bedridden for a long time, he said to him, Do you wish to be strong? And when Jesus saw him lying, he knew that it had been a long time for him. He said to him, Do you wish to be strong?

1 2

P, like the Greek, says “seventh hour.” Lit. “house/place of kindness.” Usually called Bethesda.

JOHN: CHAPTER 5

C5.7

He said to him, My Lord, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water shakes, but by the time I come, others have gone down ahead of me. idem

S5.8 C5.8

Our Lord said to him, Arise, pick up your bed and walk. Jesus said to him, Arise, pick up your bed and walk. Go to your house.

S5.9

And immediately the man was well and he arose, picked up his bed and walked, and it was the Sabbath day. And immediately the man was well and he walked, and it was the Sabbath day.

C5.9 S5.10 C5.10 S5.11 C5.11

And when the Jews saw it they said to him, It is not lawful for you to pick up your bed.1 The Jews said to him, It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to pick up your bed. And he who was made well said to them, He who made me whole, he said to me, pick up your bed and walk. He said to them, He who healed me said to me, Pick up your bed and walk.

S5.12 C5.12

(this verse not present in Sinaiticus) They said to him, Who is this man who said to you to pick up your bed and walk?

S5.13

And that man did not know who it was, because our Lord had removed himself from the place to another, away from the crowd. And he who was healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had removed himself from the place to another, because of the crowd of people.

C5.13

S5.14

After these things our Lord found him in the temple, and he said to him, Behold, you are healthy, sin no more lest something worse than this happen to you.

1 Picking up something of that size constituted work on the Sabbath under Jewish law.

JOHN: CHAPTER 5

C5.14

After these things our Lord found him, who had been healed, in the temple, and he said to him, Behold, you are healthy, sin no more lest something worse than this happen to you.

S5.15

And that man went and said to the Jews that it was Jesus1 who had healed him. And that man went and said to the Jews, It was Jesus who healed me.

C5.15 S5.16 C5.16 S5.17 C5.17 S5.18 C5.18

S5.19

C5.19

And because of this the Jews persecuted our Lord, because he had done these things on the Sabbath. And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the Sabbath. But our Lord said to them, My Father has done works until now, (and) I also work. But Jesus said to them, My Father has done works until now, and I also work. But because of this word, the Jews sought to kill him; not only because it was the evening of the Sabbath, but (also) because he called God his Father, and he was comparing himself to God. But because of this word, the Jews sought to kill him; not only because it was the evening of the Sabbath, but (also) because he called God my Father, and he was comparing himself to God. Our Lord said to them, Verily I say to you that the Son can do nothing on his own, nor anything which he has not seen his Father do, nor do except that which the Father has done. The Son also resembles him. Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say to you that the Son can do nothing of his own will, nor anything which he has not seen his Father do, except (only) that which the Father has done. And the Son also resembles him.

This is only the second time that Sinaiticus uses the name Jesus, the first being 1:45. On both occasions indirect speech was being reported. The redactor of S consistently uses the term “our Lord” in his narrative otherwise. This is a significant difference from Curetonianus, which normally uses the name “Jesus” as do other versions.

JOHN: CHAPTER 5

For the Father loves his Son and everything he does he shows to him, and more than these will he show him, so that you will be astonished. For the Father loves his Son and everything he does he shows to him, and more than these works will he show him, so that you will not be astonished that I said it to you. For as the Father gives life to the dead and raises them, So also the Son gives life to those who believe in him. idem For the Father judges no man, but has given all judgment to his Son. idem So that everyone might honor the Son as he honors the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son also does not honor the Father who sent him. idem Verily, verily I say to you that whoever has heard my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and will not come under condemnation, but goes from death to life. idem Verily, verily I say to you that the time is coming . . . (text of S breaks off here) Verily, verily I say to you that the time is coming, and is now, that even the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and live.

C5.26

For as the Father has life in himself,1 so also he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

C5.27

And he has given him authority for judgment.

The word here is not the usual Semitic term for self, i.e. , but rather , which is the term often used to refer to the persons of the Godhead. Hence one could translate it “he has life in his person (of the Godhead).”

JOHN: CHAPTER 5

C5.28

That he is the Son of man. And do not marvel at this, for behold, all those who are in the graves will hear the voice of God and live.

C5.29

And will come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

C5.30

I can do nothing of my own will,1 but what I hear I judge, and my judgment is just, for I do not seek my own will, but I seek the will of him who sent me.

C5.31

If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true.

C5.32

Another testifies of me, and you know that his testimony is true which he has testified of me.

C5.33

You sent to John, and he testified in truth.

C5.34

But I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you might live.

C5.35

He was a light that burns and illuminates, but you wanted to boast for a moment in his light.

C5.36

But I have a witness which is greater than John. For the works which my Father gave me, which I will complete, those works which I do testify of me, that my Father sent me.

C5.37

And the Father who sent me, he testifies of me. You never heard his voice, and you never saw his form.

C5.38

And his word does not abide in you, because you do not believe in him whom he sent.

C5.39

Search the scriptures, for in them you believe you will live forever; and those scriptures testify of me: those scriptures in which you believe there is salvation for you, they testify of me.

Lit. “of the will of my mind,”

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

C5.40

But you do not wish to come to me that you might have salvation.

C5.41

I do not receive honor from men,

C5.42

But I have known you, that the love of God is not in you.

C5.43

I came in the name of my Father, but you do not receive me. But if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

C5.44

How can you believe, who receive honor from each other, but you do not seek the honor that is from one God?

C5.45

Why do you think that I will accuse you? It is Moses who accuses you, he in whom you trust.

S5.46 C5.46 S5.47 C5.47

(text of S preserved again from this point) . . . . . have also believed in me, for he wrote about me. For if you had believed in Moses, you would have also believed in me, for he wrote about me. And if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe in my words? But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe in my words?

CHAPTER 6 S6.1 C6.1 S6.2 C6.2 S6.3

After these things our Lord went beyond the sea of Galilee of Tiberias. After these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee of Tiberias. And a great crowd went after him, because they saw the miracles he had done upon the sick. idem And our Lord went up on a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

C6.3

And Jesus went up on a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

S6.4 C6.4

And the Jews’ feast of unleavened bread1 was near. And the Jews’ feast of passover was near.

S6.5

And our Lord lifted up his eyes and saw a great crowd coming toward him. He said to Philip, Where will we buy bread for these people to eat? And Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a great crowd coming toward him. And he said to Philip, Where will we buy bread for these people to eat?

C6.5

S6.6 C6.6 S6.7 C6.7 S6.8 C6.8 S6.9 C6.9 S6.10 C6.10

Now he was testing and quizzing him as it were. For he knew what he would do. idem Philip said to him, Two hundred dinars of bread is not sufficient for them to (each) eat a little. idem One of the disciples, whose name was Andrew, the brother of Simon Cepha, said to him, idem There is a boy there (with) five loaves of barley and two fishes. But what (good) will they do for all of these? idem He said to them, Have the people sit, for there was much grass in the place. He said to them, Go, have the people sit on the grass.2 And when they had made them sit, Jesus said to them, Go, have the people sit, for there was much grass in the place. And the people sat down, numbering five thousand.

1 Only S refers to the feast of unleavened bread. All other Syriac versions refer to passover. The feast of unleavened bread preceded the passover and lasted seven days (cf. Ex. 12:15ff). 2 This is not the same word used for “grass” earlier in the verse, but it is a synonym.

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

Then Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fishes and lifted them toward heaven, and he blessed them and broke them, and divided (them among) his disciples to give them to those seated. And Jesus took the loaves and blessed (them) and gave to them who were sitting, and likewise also with the fishes, as much as they liked. And when they were satisfied, our Lord said to his disciples, Gather the pieces left over so that nothing is lost. And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the pieces left over so that nothing at all is lost. And they gathered the pieces that were left over from them and filled twelve baskets with the leftovers from those five loaves of barley and those two fishes, and the men who ate of that bread were five thousand. And they gathered and filled twelve baskets with pieces of the five loaves of barley; that which was left over from those who ate. Now those people, when they saw that miracle which he had done, said Truly he is the prophet who was coming to the world. idem And they thought they would seize him and make him king, but Jesus knew it and left them and went up to a mountain alone. And Jesus knew that they were seeking to seize him and make him king. He left them and escaped again up the mountain alone.

S6.16 C6.16

And when it was evening his disciples went down to the sea. When it was evening his disciples went down to the sea.

S6.17 C6.17

And they sat in the boat and were coming across to Capernaum, because it had gotten dark, but Jesus did not come to them. And they sat in the boat and were coming across the sea to Capernaum, and it had gotten dark, but Jesus did not come to them.

S6.18 C6.18

And the sea raged upon them, and a great wind was blowing. And a wind came up intensely and and the sea was stirred up upon them.

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

And when they had rowed about five1 stadia2 or thirty, they saw Jesus coming upon the water walking and he wanted to cross over to them and when he drew near their boat they became white with fear.3 And they rowed the boat twenty five or thirty stadia and saw Jesus walking on the water. And when he came near the boat they were afraid.

S6.20 C6.20

But Jesus said to them, It is I. Do not fear. But Jesus said to them, It is I.

S6.21

And when they received him into the boat, immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. And they wanted to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

C6.21 S6.22

C6.22

And the following day there was a crowd, and they saw that there was one (boat) in which his disciples had crossed over, and our Lord had not been with them, and there was no other boat besides that into which the disciples had entered. And the following day there was a crowd across the sea, that saw that there was no other boat there except the one in which the disciples of Jesus had crossed, and Jesus had not been with his disciples in the boat.

S6.23 C6.23

And the boat had come from Tiberias where they had eaten the bread, And they brought other boats from Tiberias to the place where they had eaten bread,

S6.24

And they came to Capernaum on the other side of the sea and looked for him. And they saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples. They went down into the boats and came to Capernaum and looked for Jesus.

C6.24

There is probably a word missing here, because other versions have “twenty five” and that would make more sense in this context. The phrase “five or thirty” seems unlikely. 2 Each stadion is 1/8 of a Roman mile. 3 Lit. “from their fear.” 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

And when they found him, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here? Now when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here? Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, it is not because you saw the miracles that you seek me, but because you ate the bread and were filled. Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say to you, it is not because you saw the miracles that you seek me, but because you ate the bread and were filled. Do not work for the food that perishes, but work for the food that continues unto eternal life which the Son of man gives you, for God the Father has sealed this. (idem) They said to him, What shall we do that we might do perform the work of God? idem Jesus said to them, This is the work of God, that you should believe in him whom he sent. idem They said to him, What sign will you do that we may see (it) and believe in you? They said to him, then what sign will you do that we may see (it) and believe in you (and) what you do. Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as is written that he gave them bread from heaven. Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as is written that he gave them bread from heaven to eat. Verily, verily I say to you that Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

C6.32

Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say to you that Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but the Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

S6.33

For the bread of God came down from heaven and gave1 life to the world. For the bread of God came down from heaven and he lives and is given to the world.

C6.33 S6.34 C6.34

They said to him, Our Lord, give us some of this bread always. They said to him, Our Lord, give us this bread always.

S6.35

He said to them, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst. Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

C6.35 S6.36 C6.36

But I have said to you that you have seen and do not believe. But I have said to you that you see and do not believe.

S6.37

Everyone whom the Father has given me will come, and whoever comes to me I will not cast out. Everyone whom my Father has given me will come, and whoever comes to me I will not cast out.

C6.37 S6.38 C6.38 S6.39 C6.39

For I descended from heaven not to do my will, but to do the will of my Father who sent me. idem This is it, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but that I should raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of him who sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but that I should raise it up on the last day.

Or “gives.” Since there are no vowels in Sinaiticus, it is not always possible to distinguish a perfect tense from a present participle.

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

Because this is his will, that he who believes in the Son will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. But the Jews murmured because he said, I am the bread that came down from heaven. idem And they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? And we know his father. How could he say that he came down from heaven? And they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph? And we know his father. How could he say, I came down from heaven?

S6.43 C6.43

He said to them, Do not murmur to each other. Jesus said to them, Do not murmur to each other.

S6.44

No man can come to me but he whom the Father who sent me has drawn, and I will raise him up on the last day. For no man can come to me but he whom the Father who sent me has drawn, and I will raise him up on the last day.

C6.44 S6.45 C6.45 S6.46 C6.46 S6.47

For it is written in the prophets, They shall all be taught of God. Everyone who has heard from him and learned from him comes to me. idem It was not because any man saw the Father, but he who was with God, he has seen God the Father. It was not because any man saw the Father, but he who was with God, he has seen the Father. Verily, verily I say to you, that whoever believes in God has life.1

Or “has salvation.” In C there is no such ambiguity, for it clearly says “eternal life.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 6

C6.47

Verily, verily I say to you, that whoever believes in God has eternal life.

S6.48 C6.48

I am the bread of life. I am the bread of life, which came down from heaven.

S6.49 C6.49

Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and died. Your fathers ate bread in the wilderness and died.

S6.50

This is the bread that came down from heaven, so that if a man eats of it he will not die. But this is the bread that came down from heaven, so that if a man eats of it he will die.1

C6.50 S6.51 C6.51 S6.52 C6.52 S6.53 C6.53 S6.54 C6.54

I am the living bread that came down from heaven, and whoever eats of my bread will live forever, and the bread which I give is my body,2 which is for the life of the world. idem And the Jews were arguing with each other and saying, How can this fellow give us his body to eat? idem And Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say to you that unless you eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, there is no life in you. idem Now whoever eats his body and drinks his blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. And whoever eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. There is clearly a difference between S and C in terms of their understanding of which bread is meant in this verse. S obviously feels this verse refers to Christ as the bread which came down from heaven and gives eternal life, while C apparently sees it as still refering to the manna which dropped from heaven, and when people ate it they still died. For C, the transition to the bread that is Christ takes place in verse 51. 2 In this and the following cases, the word translated here as “body” (‫ ) ܓ ܐ‬could also be translated as “flesh,” but it is more properly “body” and besides, there is another more common word for “flesh” which is ‫ܒ ܐ‬. 1

Whoever wishes to do his will knows this doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak of my own accord. And whoever wishes to do his will knows this doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak of my own accord.

He who speaks on his on accord seeks glory for himself, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent me, he is true and there is no unrighteousness in him. Did Moses not give you the Torah1 and not one of you is doing his commandments. Did Moses not give you the Torah and not one of you is keeping his commandments. Why do you seek to kill me?

Because of this Moses gave you circumcision. It was not because it was from Moses, but because it was from your fathers. And on the Sabbath day you circumcise people. idem If a person is circumcised on the Sabbath day so that the law of Moses not be broken, do you look at me because I have healed everyone on the Sabbath day? If a person is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses not be broken, do you murmur about me because I have healed everyone on the Sabbath day?

And behold, he is standing and speaking publicly, and no one says anything to him. Perhaps the elders know that he is the messiah. idem But this fellow, behold, we know him, where he is from; but the messiah, when he comes no one will know where he is from. idem And Jesus raised his voice when he was speaking in the temple and said, You know me and you know where I am from. I did not come on my own accord, but he who sent me is true and you do not know him.

But I know him, because I was with him, and he sent1 me. But I know him, I am with him, and he sent me.

S7.30

And they tried to seize him, but no man laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come. idem

For many believed in him from that city, and they were saying, When the messiah comes, will he do more miracles than this fellow has done? Many of the crowd believed in him and said, When the messiah comes, will he do more miracles than this fellow has done? And the chief priests and Pharisees heard that the people muttered (such things) and they sent the guards to seize him. And the Pharisees heard that the people muttered (such things) about him and the chief priests and Pharisees sent (the guards) to seize him. Jesus said to them, A little while yet am I with you, and I will go to him who sent me. And Jesus said, A little while yet am I with you, and I will go to him who sent me. And you will look for me but you will not find me. And where I go you cannot come. idem

The most generic word for “send” in Syriac is ‫ ܪ‬and that is the word which has been used in the previous verses where Jesus refers to the one who “sent” him. It is also the word used in the other Syriac versions in this verse. But in Sinaiticus, there is a slight departure from that because it uses the word here. This word also means “send” but is used in conjunction with messages or messengers (the Syriac word for “apostle” is also taken from this root), and thus has a slightly different nuance. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 7

The Jews said among themselves and to themselves, Where then is this fellow going that we will not find him? Is he going then to teach the descendents of the Arameans1 that we cannot find him? idem And what is this thing he said, I am going and you will not find me? And he said, Where I am going you cannot come? Or what is this thing he said, You will look for me and not find me, and where I am you cannot come? And on the great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried out and said, Whoever thirsts, let him come to me and drink. idem Everyone who believes in me, as the scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from his belly. idem Now he said this about the spirit which those who believe in him would receive, for up to that time the spirit had not been given, because Jesus had not received his glory. Now he said this about the spirit which those who believe in him would receive, for up to that time the spirit had not been given, because up to that time Jesus had not received the glory.

S7.40 C7.40

Now people in the crowd who heard it said, Truly this is the messiah. And the people in the crowd who heard his words said, Truly this is a prophet.

S7.41

And others said, How could the messiah come from the Galilee?

Curetonianus also has “Arameans” but other versions (including the Greek) have “gentiles.” If “Arameans” is preserved from the original gospel, then it indicates a strong awareness of a connection (and perhaps kinship) with the Arameans in the East. This would make it all the more natural that the gospel should be carried to them as soon as the church had been established in Jerusalem. Compare the note to John 12:20 where the term Arameans is used again.

First of all, does the Torah condemn a man before we hear from him and know what he has done? idem

They said to him, Are you also from the Galilee? Look and see that no prophet arises from the Galilee. They said, Are you also from the Galilee? Look and see that no prophet arises from the Galilee.

CHAPTER 8 The pericope of the woman taken in adultery and brought to Jesus is not reported in any of the early Syriac versions. Therefore, this chapter will commence with what is normally verse 12. S8.12 C8.12 S8.13 C8.13 S8.14 C8.14

Again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but finds the light of life.1 idem The Jews said to him, You are testifying of yourself. Your testimony is not true! The Pharisees said to him, You are testifying of yourself. Your testimony is not true! Jesus said to them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not (know) where I came from or where I am going. Jesus said to them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

I myself testify of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me. I myself testify of myself, and my Father who sent me testifies of me.

C8.18 S8.19 C8.19

They said to him, Where is your Father? He said to them, You do not know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would also have known my Father. They said to him, Where . . . (The text of C is broken from this point. It resumes again with John 14:10)

S8.20

Then he spoke in the treasury, and in the temple no one seized him because his time had not come.

S8.21

Again Jesus said to them, I am going away and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins, and where I am going you cannot come.

S8.22

The Jews said to themselves, Will he kill himself? Because he said, You cannot come where I am going.

S8.23

Jesus said to them, You are from below, but I am from above. You are from this world, but I am not from it.

I am at a loss to explain this variant. It does not occur in any other version as far as I know.

JOHN: CHAPTER 8

S8.24

I said to you that you will die in your sins. If you do not believe that I am (he), you will die in your sins.

S8.25

They said to him, Who are you? Jesus said to them, What I have been saying to you from the beginning.

S8.26

I have many things to say to you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and these things which I heard from him I speak in the world.

S8.27

But they did not know that he spoke to them concerning the Father.

S8.28

Again Jesus said to them, When you lift up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing of my own accord, but as the Father taught me, thus I speak.

S8.29

And he who sent me is with me and has not left me, because I always do what pleases him.

S8.30

And while he was saying these things, many believed in him.

S8.31

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, If you will continue in my words you are truly my disciples,

S8.32

And you will know the truth and that truth will make you free.

S8.33

They said to him, We are the seed of Abraham and never has bondage been done to us. How can you say, You will be free men?

S8.34

Our Lord said to them, Verily, verily I say to you, that whoever commits sin is a slave.

S8.35

And a slave does not remain forever in the house, but the Son is always in the house.

S8.36

And if the Son frees you, you will truly be free men.

JOHN: CHAPTER 8

S8.37

I know that you are the seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill me because my word does not suit1 you.

S8.38

I do what I have seen with my Father, but you also do what you have seen with your father.

S8.39

They said to him, Our father is Abraham. He said to them, If you are children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.

S8.40

But now behold, you seek to kill me, a man who truly speaks to you what he has heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

S8.41

But you do the works of your father. They said to him, We are not from adultery. We have one father, God.

S8.42

Jesus said to them, If God were your father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and came from the God, and I did not come of my own accord; he sent me.

S8.43

Why do you not understand my speech? for you are not able to hear it.

S8.44

But you are from the evil one, and you want to do the desires of your father. He who from the beginning killed people and is not in truth, and there is not truth in him, and when he speaks, he speaks his lies because he is deceitful and the father of it.

S8.45

I who speak truth, you do not believe.

S8.46

Who of you reproves me for sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

S8.47

For whoever is from God hears the word of God. Therefore you do not hear it because you were not (of God).

S8.48

The Jews said, Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and there is a demon in you?

JOHN: CHAPTER 9

S8.49

Jesus said to them, There is no demon in me, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

S8.50

And I do not seek my own glory; there is someone who seeks and judges.

S8.51

Verily, verily I say to you, that whoever keeps my word will never taste of death.

S8.52

The Jews said to him, Now we know that there is truly a demon in you, for Abraham is dead. You say, whoever keeps my word will not taste of death.

S8.53

Are you greater than Abraham and the prophets who died? Whom do you make yourself?

S8.54

Jesus said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing, it is the Father who glorifies me, he who you say is God.

S8.55

You have not known him. I know him, and if I say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I know him, and I keep his word.

S8.56

Abraham longed to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced.

S8.57

The Jews said to him, You are not (even) fifty years old, and Abraham saw you?

S8.58

He said to them, Verily, verily I say to you that when Abraham was not yet, I was.

S8.59

Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus secretly went out from the temple.

CHAPTER 9 S9.1

And as he passed by, he saw a blind man who had been blind from his mother’s womb.

JOHN: CHAPTER 9

S9.2

His disciples said to him, In what did this fellow sin, or his relatives,1 that he has been blind since he was born?

S9.3

He said to them, He did not sin, nor his relatives, but it is so that the works of God might be made manifest.

S9.4

And it is fitting for me to do the works of him who sent me until that day when the night comes in which no one can work.

S9.5

As long as he is in the world, for I am the light of the world.

S9.6

When he had said these things he spit on the ground and formed mud from his saliva, and he picked it up and smeared it on the eyes of that blind man.

S9.7

And he said to him, Go wash your face in the spring of Siloam, and when he washed his face his eyes opened.

S9.8

And when his neighbors saw him, and those whom he who had begged was seeing, they said, Is this not the one who was begging?

S9.9

Some said, It is he. Others said, It looks like him. He said to them, I am the blind man!

S9.10

They said to him, How were your eyes opened?

S9.11

He said to them, That man, whose name is Jesus, smeared mud on them, and he said to me, Go wash your face in the spring of Siloam, and I went (and) washed and I could see.2

S9.12

They said to him, And where is he? He said to them, I do not know.

S9.13

They led him who had been cured and brought him to the Pharisees.

Lit. “his people.” Lit. “it appeared to me.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 9

S9.14

And this was the Sabbath day.

S9.15

And again the Pharisees asked him, How were your eyes opened? He said to them, He smeared mud on them and opened them, and I washed myself and they were open.

S9.16

And there were some of the Pharisees who said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the Sabbath and he mixed mud. But others said, How can a sinful man do these miracles? And they were divided against each other because of this worshipper.1

S9.17

And they said to him who was cured, What do you say about him? He said to them, I say that he is a prophet.

S9.18

And the Jews did not believe him, that he had been blind, and they sent for his father and his mother.

S9.19

They said, Is this your son? Do you not say that he was born blind? Then how does he see now?

S9.20

Now his parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

S9.21

But how he sees now, or who allowed him to see we do not know. Behold, he is of age, you can find out from him.

S9.22

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the scribes and Pharisees had already decreed that whoever said that he was the messiah, they would dismiss him.2

S9.23

Therefore his parents said to ask him.

S9.24

And they called again to him who had been cured and said to him, Praise God, for we know that this man is a sinner.

1 “Worshipper” seems to me to be the most likely interpretation of ‫ ܕ ܐ‬in this context, but other interpretations are possible. 2 The Peshitta adds here, “from the Synagogue.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 9

S9.25

He who had been cured said to them, Whether he is a sinner I do not know. But one thing I know, that I was blind and because of him, behold I see!

S9.26

They said to him, What did he do to you? How did he cure you?

S9.27

He said to them, I already told you and you heard it. Why are you asking me again? Or do you want to be his disciples?

S9.28

Now they reviled him and said to him, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

S9.29

And we know that God spoke with Moses, but of this fellow we do not (even) know where he is from.

S9.30

He who had been cured said to them, This is something to be amazed at, that you do not know him, where he is from, but he opened my eyes.1

S9.31

And we know that God does not hear the voice of the sinner, but he hears anyone who fears him and does his will.

S9.32

And behold, since the day that the world came to be it is unheard of that a blind man has been made to see2 who has been blind from his mother.

S9.33

If this fellow was not of God, how could he do that?

S9.34

They said to him, You yourself were born in sins. You came to teach us? And they expelled him.

S9.35

And Jesus heard that they had expelled him and when Jesus found him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of man?

S9.36

He who had been cured said to him, Who is that my Lord, that I may believe in him?

He appears to be playing on the fact that he was the blind man and yet his interrogators were the ones who could not see. 2 Lit. “opened” referring to his eyes. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 10

S9.37

Jesus said to him, You have seen him. And he who speaks with you is he.

S9.38

He said, I believe, Lord, and he fell down (and) worshipped him.

S9.39

Jesus said to him, I came to judge this world that those who are blind might see and those who see might become blind.

S9.40

And when those Pharisees who were near him heard it they said to him, Are we blind?

S9.41

He said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin. But you say, We see. Therefore your sins stand.

CHAPTER 10 S10.1

Verily, verily I say to you, that whoever does not enter into the fold in which there are sheep by the gate, but climbs up some other place, he is a robber and a thief.

S10.2

And whoever enters in by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

S10.3

The gate keeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice, his animals. He calls his sheep by name and he leads them out.

S10.4

And when he leads his animals out he goes before them, and each one of them follows him because the sheep know his voice.

S10.5

But the sheep do not follow a stranger, but the sheep are cut off from him because they do not know the stranger.

S10.6

Jesus said these things to them in parables and they did not understand.

S10.7

Again Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say to you that I am the gate for the sheep.

JOHN: CHAPTER 10

S10.8

And all who have come are thieves and robbers, but the animals did not listen to them.

S10.9

I am the gate of the sheep, and everyone who enters in by me will live and will go in and out and find pasture.

S10.10 But no thief comes except to steal and kill and destroy, but I came that they might have salvation, and have abundance. S10.11 I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives his life for his sheep. S10.12 But the hireling is unreliable, for the sheep are not his. When he sees the wolf coming he leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf comes and seizes (them) and scatters (them). S10.13 Because the hireling is for himself (only) and he does not care about them. S10.14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me, and I am known by my own. S10.15 As my Father has known me, and I know my Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. S10.16 And I have other sheep which were not of this fold. And it is also appropriate that I bring them and they also hear my voice and all the flock will be one, and one shepherd. S10.17 And my Father, therefore, loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. S10.18 And no man takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. For (I have) authority to lay it down and take it up again, because I received this commandment from my Father. S10.19 And as he was saying these things there was a division among the Jews.

JOHN: CHAPTER 10

S10.20 Because there were some of them who were saying that a demon was in him and he was mad. Why are you standing and listening to him? S10.21 But others said, These words are not of a demon. Can a demon open (the eyes of) a blind man? S10.22 And it was the feast in Jerusalem which is called the reverence1 of the temple. And it was winter. S10.23 And Jesus was walking on the porch of Solomon which is in the temple.2 S10.24 And the Jews called out around him and said to him, How long will you keep us in suspense?3 If you are the messiah, tell us plainly. S10.25 Jesus said to them, I speak with you and you do not believe. And the works that I do in the name of my Father, they testify of me. S10.26 But you do not believe because you were not of my sheep, as I have said to you. S10.27 My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. S10.28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them from my hand.

In other versions it is called the Feast of Dedication, which was instituted in the days of Judas Maccabeus to commemorate the dedicate the dedication of the new altar. The old one had been profaned in 168 B.C. 2 The phrase “which is in the temple” does not appear either in the Greek or in the Peshitta. The fact that it is included here could suggest that John’s target audience was not the Jews. Since it is not in the Greek, it could not have been included for the benefit of that audience, otherwise the Greek scribes would have retained it. It is more likely that it was not originally in John’s text, and that the scribe who wrote Sinaiticus included it for the benefit of his Syriac speaking audience, for they might not have been familiar with the architecture of the Jerusalem temple. 3 Lit. “take away our breath.” 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 10

S10.29 Because the Father who gave (them to) me is greater than anything, and no one can snatch (them) from the hand of the Father. S10.30 I and my Father are one. S10.31 When he had said these things they picked up stones to stone him. S10.32 Jesus said to them, I have shown you many works of the Father. For which one of those works will you stone me? S10.33 The Jews said to him, Not because of the good works do we stone you, but because you are a man and blaspheme and make yourself God. S10.34 Jesus said to them, Is it not written thus in the law, I have said that you are gods? S10.35 And the word of God cannot be broken. S10.36 To him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world you say, You blaspheme, because he says to you that he is the Son of God. S10.37 But I do the works of my Father (and) you do not believe me. S10.38 But if I work and if you do not believe me, believe the works and know that I am in the Father and my Father is in me. S10.39 And again, after these things they sought to seize him and he went away from among their hands. S10.40 And he went across the Jordan to a place where John had baptized at first. S10.41 And many came to him and said something about John. He showed no signs, but all the things that he said about this man were true.

JOHN: CHAPTER 11

S10.42 And many believed in him.

CHAPTER 11 S11.1

And it came to pass that Lazarus of Bethany was sick, the brother of Mary1 and Martha.

S11.2

Now Mary was the one who washed the feet of Jesus. Her brother was Lazarus who was sick.

S11.3

Now the two sisters sent to Jesus (saying), Our Lord, he whom you love is sick.

S11.4

When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God that his Son may be glorified in him.

S11.5

Now Jesus loved those three siblings, Mary, Martha and Lazarus.

S11.6

And after he heard that Lazarus was sick he remained where he was2 two days.

S11.7

And he said to his disciples, Come, let us go to Judea.

S11.8

His disciples said to him, Rabbi, behold the Jews seek to stone you, and you are going there again?

S11.9

Jesus said to them, Are there not twelve hours in a day? Whoever walks in the day will not stumble because he sees the light of this world.

S11.10 But whoever walks in the night stumbles because there is no light in him. S11.11 And when he had said these things, he said to them, Lazarus, our friend, is resting, but I will go to awaken him.

As pointed out in the other gospels, the Aramaic name is actually Mariam, but Mary will be used here because it is so familiar. 2 Lit. “on his place.” 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 11

S11.12 They said to him, Our Lord, if he is sleeping, he is alive. S11.13 But Jesus, because Lazarus had died, said this to them, but they thought he was speaking about sleep. S11.14 Again Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus has died. S11.15 And I rejoice because of you, that you believe (even) without my having been there, but come, let us go to him. S11.16 Thomas said to his companions the disciples, Come, we will also go die with him. S11.17 And when Jesus came to Bethany he found they had buried Lazarus four days earlier. S11.18 Now Bethany was fifteen stadia from Jerusalem, which is two miles. S11.19 And many of the Jews went out to Bethany to console Martha and Mary. S11.20 And when Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed in the house. S11.21 And Martha said to Jesus, If you had been here, my brother would not have died. S11.22 But even now I know that whatever you ask of God he will give you. S11.23 Jesus said to her, Your brother will arise. S11.24 Martha said to him, I know that in the resurection on the last day (he will arise). S11.25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and whoever believes in me, though he is dead he will live.

JOHN: CHAPTER 11

S11.26 And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe these things? S11.27 Martha said to him, Yes my Lord, I believe that you are the messiah, the Son of God who was to come to the world. S11.28 And when She had said these things she went quietly and called Mary and said to her, Our Rabbi has come and is calling you. S11.29 And when Mary heard it she jumped up and went to him enthusiastically. S11.30 And Jesus had not yet entered the town, but was in the place where Martha had met him. S11.31 Also those who had consoled Mary, when they saw that she went out so startled, went after her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to mourn. S11.32 And Mary, when she reached Jesus, fell at his feet and said to him, If you had been there, my Lord, my brother would not have died. S11.33 And Jesus, when he saw her, that she was crying, and saw the Jews who were mourning with her, heaved in his soul and was moved in his spirit. S11.34 And he said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Our Lord, come see. S11.35 And the tears of Jesus were flowing.1 S11.36 And when the Jews saw it they said, Look how much he loved him. S11.37 And some of them said, This is he who opened the eyes of him who was blind from his mother’s womb. Could he not have caused that this fellow would not die?

JOHN: CHAPTER 11

S11.38 But Jesus, inwardly moved, came to the tomb, and the tomb was hollowed out like a cave, and its door was covered by a stone. S11.39 Jesus said, Remove this stone. Martha said to him, My Lord, why are they removing the stone? For behold, he is putrid because it has been four days. S11.40 He said to her, I said to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God. S11.41 Then those men who were standing there went and raised the stone, but he lifted his eyes to heaven and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me. S11.42 And I know that you always hear me, but because of this crowd of people I say these things, that they may believe that you sent me. S11.43 And when he had said these things he called out in a loud voice and said to Lazarus, Come outside! S11.44 And immediately the dead came out bound hand and foot in burial wrappings, and his head was bound in a turban (of cloth). Then our Lord said, Undo him and let him go. S11.45 And many of the Jews who came to Jesus because of Mary believed in Jesus from that time on. S11.46 And there were some of them who did not believe, but went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. S11.47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together and took counsel and said, What shall we do? For this fellow is doing many miracles. S11.48 And if we leave him thus, all the people will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our city and our people.

JOHN: CHAPTER 12

S11.49 Now one of them by the name of Caiaphas was their high priest that year. That Caiaphas said to them, You do not know anything. S11.50 Neither do you consider that it is better for us that one man should die instead of the whole nation, and the whole nation not perish. S11.51 Now he did not say this word of his own accord, but because he was the high priest he was prophesying, because Jesus would die for the nation. S11.52 And not only for the nation alone, but for all the children of God who were scattered. They would be gathered into one. S11.53 Now from that day on they intended to kill him. S11.54 But Jesus did not go about publicly before the Jews, but went to a place close to the wilderness called Ephraim, and there he lived with his disciples. S11.55 And the time of the feast was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from that district to sanctify themselves. S11.56 And they were looking for Jesus and said to each other in the temple, Do you think he will not come to the feast? S11.57 And the chief priests and Pharisees commanded that whoever saw him should come declare it to them and they would seize him.

CHAPTER 12 S12.1

And six days before the Passover Jesus came to the town of Bethany to Lazarus who had been dead and was alive.

JOHN: CHAPTER 12

S12.2

And one1 made him supper there, and Lazarus was one of the diners who was seated with him, but Martha was occupied with serving.

S12.3

But Mary took a container of a pound of pure, good spikenard oil of great price and poured it on the head of Jesus as he sat at supper and anointed his feet and wiped them with her hair and the whole house was filled with the scent of the oil.

S12.4

And Judah Iscariot, one of the disciples, he who would betray him, said,

S12.5

Why was this oil not sold for three hundred dinars and (the money) given to the poor?

S12.6

But Judah was not concerned about the poor, but it was because he was a thief and the money box of the poor was with him.

S12.7

When Jesus heard it he said to him, Leave her, she is mindful2 of the day of my burial.

S12.8

(not present in Sinaiticus)

S12.9

And many people of the Jews knew that he was there, and they came there, not in order to see Jesus, but Lazarus, he whom he had raised from the tomb.

S12.10 And the chief priests also thought to kill Lazarus. S12.11 For because of Lazarus many believed in Jesus. S12.12 And the next day he went out and came to the Mount of Olives and that great crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus had come to Jerusalem,

1 2

Other versions have “they made him supper.” Lit. “watching” or “guarding.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 12

S12.13 They picked up palm branches and went out to meet him, and they called out and said, Hosanna, he who comes in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel! S12.14 Now Jesus was riding on a donkey as is written in Zechariah the prophet, S12.15 Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold your king is coming to you, and he is riding on a colt, the foal of a she-ass. S12.16 His disciples had not known these things ahead of time, but when our Lord received his glory they remembered that these things were written about him and they did these things for him. S12.17 And the crowd that was with him told how he had called Lazarus from the tomb and saved him from the dead. S12.18 And all those people ran to meet him because they had heard he had performed this miracle. S12.19 But the Pharisees said to each other, You see that you do not prevail at all, Behold all the world has gone after him. S12.20 And there were some Arameans1 who had gone up to worship at the feast.

The Peshitta says “gentiles” and the Harklean version says “heathens.” The latter was a version that was reworked from a Greek text. It is not conceivable that “heathens” was in the original, because heathens, by definition, are not of the religion of Israel. Therefore, they would not have been going up to worship at the feast of Passover. The same logic excludes “gentiles” as a sensible rendering, because gentiles were those outside the Jewish faith. Therefore, Arameans in this case can only refer to actual Arameans, and cannot in any way be considered a synonym for “heathen.” Thus, of the three renderings, the only one which could possibly represent the original is that of “Arameans” in Sinaiticus.

JOHN: CHAPTER 12

S12.21 And they came and said to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of the Galilee, We wish to see the Lord Jesus.1 S12.22 And Philip went (and) told to Andrew, and they both came and told Jesus. S12.23 Jesus said to them, The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified. S12.24 Verily, verily I say to you that unless a grain of wheat falls and dies in the ground, it is alone, but if it falls and dies it brings forth much fruit. S12.25 Whoever loves himself will lose himself, and whoever hates himself in this world will keep eternal life. S12.26 Whoever will serve me, let him follow me and where I am, there will my servant also be, and the Father will honor him who serves me. S12.27 Now my soul, behold it is troubled, but what shall I say? Father save me from this hour? But because of this did I come to this hour. S12.28 Father, glorify your name. And immediately a voice was heard from heaven which said, I have glorified (it) and I will glorify (it) again.

Bases on the logic in the footnote to the previous verse, one can say that the writer is clearly indicating that Arameans (not gentiles or heathen) sought out Jesus while he was still alive. This story would also support the assumption that the writer (whether John or a later redactor) is addressing an audience of Arameans primarily, and that helps explain his constant references to “Jews” rather than specifying Pharisees or Sadducees or other specific parties in Jerusalem, because his target audience was apparently not very familiar with those various parties, so the writer lumped them together in most cases simply as “Jews” i.e. in contradistinction to the Arameans, who, as we see from this story, were also present (at least occasionally) in Jerusalem. Perhaps the Arameans he refers to were actually Jews from the diaspora in Mesopotamia and he was calling them Arameans in contradistinction to the Jews of Jerusalem in this case. This would explain why they were going up to the feast of the Passover.

JOHN: CHAPTER 12

S12.29 And people who were standing there and heard it were amazed and said, It was thunder, and others said, An angel is speaking with him. S12.30 Jesus said to them, This voice was not heard for my sake, but for your sake. S12.31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now the ruler of this world is cast down. S12.32 And I, when I am raised up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. S12.33 Now he said this to show by which death he would die. S12.34 And people of the crowd said to him, We heard from the Torah that the messiah remains forever, and how do you say that the Son of man will be raised up? Who is this Son of man? S12.35 Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk in the light while you have the light so that the darkness does not overtake you. For he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. S12.36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you are the children of light. And when Jesus had said these things he went (and) hid himself from them. S12.37 And (in spite of) all the miracles and great signs he did, they did not believe in him. S12.38 So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled which said, My Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? S12.39 And again he said, S12.40 He has blinded their eyes and darkened their hearts so that they will not see with their eyes and hear and repent and I should forgive them.

JOHN: CHAPTER 13

S12.41 Isaiah said these things when he had seen his glory and he spoke of him. S12.42 But even from the beginning many believed in Jesus, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not excommunicate them. S12.43 They loved the glory of men more than that of God. S12.44 Now Jesus called out and said, Whoever is not like me is not like him who sent me, and whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me. S12.45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. S12.46 I am the light that came to the world, and whoever believes in me will not remain without light. S12.47 Whoever has heard my words and does not keep them, I will not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. S12.48 Now whoever asks me and does not receive my words, there is one who judges him. The word that I spoke to him, that will judge him on the last day. S12.49 For I have not spoken my own words, but the Father who sent me has commanded me what to speak and what to say. S12.50 And I know that his commandments are the life of the world, and what I say is as he commanded me to speak.

CHAPTER 13 S13.1

But before the Passover Jesus knew that his time had come to leave this earth to (go to) his Father. He loved his own who were in this world and until the end he loved them.

JOHN: CHAPTER 13

S13.2

And it was supper(time) and Satan put into the head of Judah, the son of Simon Iscariot how to betray him.

S13.3

And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, and he knew that he had come from the presence1 of God and was going to the presence of God,

S13.4

He arose and took off his garments, took a cloth (and) bound it on his loins,

S13.5

And he took water (and) put it in a wash basin and began washing the feet of his disciples, and wiped2 (them) with the cloth he had bound about his loins.

S13.6

And when he got to Simon Cepha (Peter), Simon said to him, My Lord, do you wash my feet?

S13.7

Jesus said to him, You do not know what I am doing for you, but after some time you will know.

S13.8

Simon said to him, You will never wash my feet. Jesus said to him, Unless I wash you, you have no portion with me.

S13.9

Simon said to him, Then, my Lord, do not wash only my feet, but also my hands and also my head.

S13.10 Jesus said to him, Whoever has bathed does not need to wash (anything) except the feet alone, because all of him is clean, and you (all) are also clean, but not all of you. S13.11 For he knew who would betray him, because of that he said this word. S13.12 When he had washed their feet he took his garments and sat down again. He said to them, Do you know what I have done for you?

Syr. ‫ܬ‬ This is not the usual meaning of but it seems to be the only interpretation that fits the context. The Peshitta has ‫ܐ‬ , which is the usual word for “wiped.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 13

S13.13 Behold, you call me Rabbi, and our Lord, and you speak well, for I am. S13.14 And if I, your Rabbi1 and your Lord, wash your feet, how much more fitting is it for you that you also wash each others feet? S13.15 But this is a type which I have shown you, that as I have done for you, you should do. S13.16 Verily, verily I say to you that there is no servant who is greater than his master, nor an apostle who is greater then he who sent him. S13.17 If you know these things and do them, blessed are you. S13.18 I do not say this to everyone, because I know those whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture might be fulfilled2 which says that whoever has eaten bread with me has raised up his heel against me. S13.19 From this hour I tell it to you before it takes place, so that when it has come to pass you will know that it is I. S13.20 Verily I say to you that whoever receives him whom I send, he receives me. And whoever receives me receives him who sent me. S13.21 And when Jesus had said these things, he was moved in his spirit and testified and said, Verily I say to you that one of you will betray me. S13.22 Now his disciples were looking at each other and wondering who he was talking about. S13.23 One of the disciples of Jesus, the one which our Lord loved, was seated3 at his bosom,

The literal meaning of rabbi is “my great one,” but it came to be a term used to address religious teachers. 2 Lit. “completed” or “perfected.” 3 Actually the word means “reclining” as was the custom for dining. 1

JOHN: CHAPTER 13

S13.24 Simon Cepha (Peter) beckoned to him to ask him about whom he had spoken. S13.25 That disciple whom Jesus loved fell on the chest of Jesus and said to him, My Lord, who is it? S13.26 He said to him, It is he who I dip the bread and give it to him.1 And Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judah, son of Simon Iscariot. S13.27 And after the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, What you will do, do quickly. S13.28 And his disciples did not know about whom he was speaking. S13.29 For they thought that because of the money box was with Judah he had commanded him what to buy for the feast and what to give to the poor. S13.30 Then Judah arose and took bread and went away outside. Now it was night time when he went out. S13.31 Jesus said, Behold, after this the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. S13.32 And God who is in him glorifies him, and will immediately glorify him. S13.33 My children, yet a little while am I with you and you will look for me as I said to the Jews, that where I go they cannot come, and behold I have also said it to you. S13.34 But from now on I give you one commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

This sentence is somewhat awkward in English, but it is a literal translation of the Syriac.

JOHN: CHAPTER 14

S13.35 For in this will they all know that you are my disciples, if there is love in you for one another. S13.36 Simon Cepha (Peter) said to him, My Lord, where are you going? He said to him, Where I am going you cannot come now. Afterward you will follow me. S13.37 Simon said to him, Why can I not follow you? Now I would lay down my life for you. S13.38 Jesus said to him, Will you lay down your life for me? Verily I say to you that before the rooster crows two times you will deny me three times.

CHAPTER 14 S14.1

And then Jesus said, let not your heart be terrified. Believe in God be believing in me.

S14.2

There are many places (in) my Father’s house. If not, I would have told you that I go to prepare a place for you.

S14.3

And if I go and prepare for you, I will come again and lead you to me, that where I am you will be also.

S14.4

And where I go you know and you know the way.

S14.5

Thomas said to him, My Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know which is the way?

S14.6

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth and the life. No man comes to my Father except by me.

S14.7

If you have known me,1 you will also know my Father, and from now on you will know him and you have seen him.

1 The text actually says, “if you had not known me” but the word “not” does not appear in the other versions and may therefore be a scribal error in this one, because it does not fit with the rest of the verse.

JOHN: CHAPTER 14

S14.8

Philip said to him, Our Lord, show us the Father and it will suffice us.

S14.9

Jesus said to him, All this time I am with you and you have not known me? Whoever has seen me has seen my Father. So how do you say, show us the Father?

S14.10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and my Father is in me? C14.10 (C resumes) . . . it was not of my own volition1 that I speak to you; but my Father who is in me, he does these works. S14.11 (this verse not present in Sinaiticus) C14.11 Believe me, that I am in my Father and my Father is in me. And if you do not believe me, then believe because of the works. S14.12 Verily, verily I say to you that Whoever believes in me, the works which I do, he will do, and he will do more than these works, because I go to my Father. C14.12 Verily, verily I say to you that Whoever believes in me, the works which I do, he will do, and (he will do) more than these works . . . (text broken) S14.13 And whatever you ask in my name I will do for you, so that the Father may be glorified in his Son. (C not preserved for this verse) S14.14 (this verse not present in Sinaiticus) (C not preserved for this verse) S14.15 If you love me, keep my commandments. C14.15 . . . . . keep . . . (text broken) S14.16 And I will ask of my Father that he send you another intercessor2 who will always be with you. C14.16 idem

Lit. “of the will of my mind.” The word here is ‫ܐ‬ , which is from the Greek παρακλητος “intercessor.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 14

S14.17 The spirit of truth which the world is not able to receive, for it has not seen it1 nor known it, but you know it, that it dwells with you and will be with you. C14.17 The spirit of truth which the world is not able to receive, for it has not seen it nor known it, but you know it, that it dwells with you and will be with you. S14.18 Neither will I leave you desolate, but I will come to you in a little while. C14.18 Neither will I leave you desolate. Behold a little while, S14.19 And the world will not see me, but you will see me, and I live and you too will live. C14.19 And the world will not see . . . (text broken) S14.20 And on that day you will know that I am in my Father and you are in me, and I am in you. C14:20 (C not preserved for this verse) S14.21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me, and whoever loves me, he is also loved by my Father, and I will also love him and show myself to him. C14.21 . . . . . them, he it is who loves me, and whoever loves me, the Father will love him. I will also love him and will also show myself to him. S14.22 Thomas said to him, Our Lord, why will you show yourself to us, but you will not show yourself to the world? C14.22 Judah Thomas said to him, Our Lord, why will you show yourself to us, but not to the world?

The word ‫ ܪܘ ܐ‬is usually considered feminine in Syriac. In much of the literature, when it refers to the Holy Ghost, it is masculine, but there has always been some ambivalence in that regard. The fact that the word could be feminine led some early Syriac speaking Christians to begin to view the Holy Ghost as the divine mother. In this particular verse, the ambivalence is wonderfully illustrated, because in both old Syriac versions (Sinaiticus and Curetonianus) it is grammatically feminine (hence the peculiar translation), while in the Peshitta and Harklean versions it is masculine. In order to avoid having to decide whether this writer actually viewed the Holy Ghost as feminine, or whether this is merely a grammatical convention, I will simply refer to the Holy Ghost with the neutral pronoun “it.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 14

S14.23 Jesus said to him, Whoever loves me keeps my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and make (our) abode with him. C14.23 Jesus said to him, Whoever loves me keeps my word, and my Father will love him and I will come to him and make (my) abode with him.1 S14.24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words, and this word which you hear is to him, and that word was not mine, but from him who sent me. C14.24 . . . my word . . . (text broken) S14.25 I have spoken these things with you while I was with you. (C not preserved for this verse) S14.26 But that spirit, the intercessor which my Father will send to you in my name, it will teach you everything. It will remind you of everything I am saying. C14.26 . . . my Father in my name, it will remind you of everything which I am saying to you. S14.27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. Not as the world gives it do I give it to you. Let not your heart be terrified, and do not let it fear. C14.27 idem S14.28 You have heard that I said that I am going and (then) I am coming to you. If you loved me you would have rejoiced that I am going to my Father, who is greater than I. C14.28 You have heard that I said to you that I am going and (then) I am coming to you. If you loved me you would have rejoiced that I am going to my Father, who is greater than I. S14.29 And now behold, I have said it to you before it has come to pass, that when it has come to pass you might believe. C14.29 And now behold . . . In all other versions, the Father and Son both will come to the person who fits the description in this verse. But in C it is only the Son who will come to that person and abide with him. Was this an early monophysite revision? But if so, why was it not retained in the Peshitta?

JOHN: CHAPTER 15

(Nothing more of C is preserved from this point on) S14.30 After this I will not speak with you, for the ruler of the world is coming and he has nothing to do with me. S14.31 But in order that the world know that I love my Father, I will do as my Father commanded me. Come, let us go from here.

CHAPTER 15 S15.1

I am the true vine and my Father is the vine dresser.

S15.2

Every vine which does not bear fruit in me he will take away and that which bears fruit, he will purify it that it will bring forth much fruit.

S15.3

And even now you are pure because of the word which I spoke to you.

S15.4

Remain in me and I in you, as the branch cannot give fruit if it is not placed in the vine, neither can you (do) anything apart from me.

S15.5

For I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever is in me, I am also in him. He will give much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

S15.6

And whoever does not remain in me will be cast out, as the branch which is dry and is cast out, and the gatherers cast it in the fire to burn.

S15.7

But if you remain in me and my words in you, everything that you want to request will be (given) to you.

S15.8

Because the Father is glorified when you bring forth much fruit and you will be my disciples.

S15.9

As the Father loves me, I have loved you. Remain in my love.

JOHN: CHAPTER 15

S15.10 If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, as I have kept my Father’s commandments and I remain in his love. S15.11 I have said these things to you that my joy might be in you and your joy be full. S15.12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. S15.13 No man has a love greater than this, (that) he would lay down his life for his friends. S15.14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. S15.15 From now on I will not call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master does, but I have called you my friends because everything I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. S15.16 And it was not you who chose me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you might go (and) bring fruit and your fruit might remain, that when you ask something of my Father in my name, he will give it to you. S15.17 But this I command you, that you love one another. S15.18 And if the world hates you, know that it hated me from the beginning. S15.19 And if you were of the world, the world would love its own, but you are not of the world, and I have chosen you from the world. Because of this, the world hates you. S15.20 And you remembered that I said to you that there is no servant who is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you, and if they have heard my word and kept it, they will also keep yours.

JOHN: CHAPTER 16

S15.21 They will do all these things to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. S15.22 And if I had not come and spoken to them they would have no sins. But now there is no excuse for their sins. S15.23 Because whoever hates me also hates my Father. S15.24 And if I had not done any works before them, which no others have done, they would have no sins. But now they have seen my works and they hate me and they hate my Father. S15.25 But in order for the word to be fulfilled which is written in their Torah, that they hated me without reason. S15.26 But when the intercessor comes which I will send to you from the presence of my Father, the spirit of truth which procedes forth from before my Father, it will testify of me. S15.27 You will also testify that you were with me from the beginning.

CHAPTER 16 S16.1

Now these things I have said to you so that you would not stumble.

S16.2

For they will evict you from their synagogues and the time is coming that whoever kills you will think he is working for God.

S16.3

(this verse not present in Sinaiticus)

S16.4

I have said these things to you, and when the time comes, you will remember that I said these things to you, which I did not say to you before because I was with you.

S16.5

But now that I go to him who sent me, none of you is asking me, Where are you going?

JOHN: CHAPTER 16

S16.6

Now because I said to you these things, sadness has come and filled your hearts.

S16.7

But I have spoken the truth to you, that it is expedient for you that I go, because if I do not go, the intercessor will not come to you. But when I have gone I will send the intercessor to you.

S16.8

But when it1 comes, it will rebuke the world in its sins with righteousness and with judgment.

S16.9

On account of sins, for they did not believe in me.

S16.10 And with righteousness because I go to my Father, and from now on you will not see me. S16.11 With judgment for the ruler of this world is judged. S16.12 I have much more to say to you, but you cannot absorb2 it today. S16.13 But when the spirit of truth has come, it will lead you in all truth, because it will not speak of its own mind, but everything which it hears, that it will say, and tell you everything that will come. S16.14 And it will glorify me because it will take of mine and tell it to you. S16.15 What my Father has is mine because of this, I said to you that it would take from mine and tell it to you. S16.16 A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me going to my Father.

1 In this verse the writer uses the masculine pronoun, because the word ‫ܐ‬ is masculine. This confirms that the choice of masculine or feminine pronoun when referring to the Holy Ghost/Comforter/Advocate/Intercessor is based on purely grammatical rules and does not reveal anything about whether the writer considers that being to be essentially masculine or feminine. 2 Lit. “pick it up.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 16

S16.17 And his disciples said to each other, What is this that he says a little while and you will not see me and again a little while and you will see me? And that he says, I am going to my Father? S16.18 What is this little while that he says? S16.19 Now Jesus knew what they wanted to ask him. He said to them, You are surely seeking (an answer to) this, that I said to you that a little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me. S16.20 Verily, verily I say to you that you will weep and lament and sigh, but the world will rejoice. You will worry, but your sadness will become joy. S16.21 When a woman gives birth she suffers because the day of the birth has arrived, and when she has given birth to a child she does not remember the suffering because of the joy that a child was born into the world. S16.22 And you too suffer now. I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and no one will take your joy from you. S16.23 And on that day you will ask nothing of me. Verily, verily I say to you that anything you ask of my Father in my name he will give you.1 S16.24 Until now you have not asked in my name. Ask and you will receive so that your joy may be complete. S16.25 I have said these things to you in parables, but the time is coming that I will show you openly about my Father. S16.26 On that day you will ask in my name and I will not say to you that I ask it of my Father on your behalf,

At first blush this verse may not seem to make sense, but he is apparently telling them that in that day they will not be asking Jesus directly, but will be directing their prayers to the Father.

JOHN: CHAPTER 17

S16.27 But my Father loves you because you have loved me and believed that I came forth from the presence of God. S16.28 I came to the world and I go to the Father again. S16.29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you are speaking plainly and have told us no parables. S16.30 Now we know that you know everything and you do not need for any man to ask about this. We believe that you were sent from God. S16.31 Jesus said to them, Now, behold, you believe in me. S16.32 Behold, the time is coming and has come that you will be scattered, each man to his own place, and you will leave me alone, and I am not alone, for the Father is with me. S16.33 I have said these things so that you might have peace in me, but in the world you will have suffering. But do not fear, for I have overcome the world.

CHAPTER 17 S17.1

And when Jesus had said these things, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, My Father, the time has come. Glorify your son, that your son might glorify you.

S17.2

As you have given him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he might give eternal life.

S17.3

These things are eternal life, that they might know you, that you alone are the true God,1 and Jesus the messiah, whom you have sent.

S17.4

I have glorified you on earth, and the work you have given me to do I completed.

JOHN: CHAPTER 17

S17.5

And even now, give me the glory, my Father from your presence, which you gave me before the world was.

S17.6

And I have revealed your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world, which were yours, and you gave them to me and they kept your word.

S17.7

And now I know that everything you gave me was from your presence.

S17.8

Because the words which you gave me, I gave to them, and they received them from me, and they know truly that I came forth from you and they have believed that you sent me.

S17.9

And I ask on their behalf and not on behalf of the world, but for those whom you gave me which were1 yours.

S17.10 And everything which is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I am glorified in them. S17.11 And from now on I am not in the world, and those are in the world, but I come to you. My holy Father, keep them in your name. S17.12 When I was with them in the world I kept them in your name, and not one of them was lost, but the son of perdition, so that which is written might be fulfilled. S17.13 Now I come to you, and these things I say in the world so that they might be filled with joy. S17.14 I have given them your word and the world hates them because they were not of it. S17.15 I do not ask of you that you should take them from the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.

Or “are.” Since Syriac often does not express the verb “to be” it is not always possible to know the tense exactly.

JOHN: CHAPTER 17

S17.16 For they were not of the world, as I was not of it. S17.17 Sanctify them in truth, because your word is truth. S17.18 As you sent me to the world, I also have sent them to the world. S17.19 And on their behalf I sanctify myself, that they may also be sanctified in truth. S17.20 And I do not ask it of you on their behalf alone, but also on behalf of them who believe from their words.1 S17.21 That they may all be one as you, my Father, are in me, and I in you, that they might also continue in me, that the world might believe that you sent me. S17.22 And I have given them the glory that you gave to me, that they might be one as we are one. S17.23 I will be with them and you with me, that they might be perfected into one, that the world might know that you sent me, and you have loved them as you, Father, loved me. S17.24 And what you gave me, I would like that where I am, they will also be with me, that they may see the glory that you gave me, and that you loved me since before the world was, o righteous Father. S17.25 And the world did not know you, but I knew you and they knew that you sent me. S17.26 And I made your name known to them, and I will make them known, that the love with which you have loved me will be in them, and I too will be in them.

The Syriac is singular “word” but it does not translate smoothly into English that way.

JOHN: CHAPTER 18

CHAPTER 18 S18.1

Jesus said these things and went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley1 to the mountain (of Olives), where there was a garden, and he and his disciples entered there.

S18.2

Now Judah the betrayer knew that place, because Jesus has often gathered there with his disciples.

S18.3

Now Judah took with him a band and some of the chief priests and Pharisees and guards. And a crowd of people came there carrying torches and lamps.

S18.4

And when Jesus saw all (those) who were coming to him he went out (and) said to them, What do you seek?

S18.5

They said him, Jesus of Nazareth. He said to them, I am he. Now Judah was also standing with them.

S18.6

And when Jesus had said these things, that I am he, they went backward and fell to the earth.

S18.7

And again Jesus said to them, Whom do you seek? They said to him, Jesus of Nazareth.

S18.8

He said to them, I said to you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let (these others) go.

S18.9

So that the word might be fulfilled which he had said, I have not lost any of them which you gave me.

S18.10 Now Simon Cepha (Peter) drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear, and the name of the man was Malcho.

1 The Syriac word here is ‫ ܪܓ ܐ‬which literally means “torrent,” referring to the water which can be there during the rainy season. But today it is called the Kidron Valley, hence the translation here.

JOHN: CHAPTER 18

S18.11 And Jesus said to Cepha, Return your sword to its place. Shall I not drink the cup which my Father has given me? S18.12 And that band, and the chiliarch and the guards of the Jews bound him, S18.13 And they brought him first to Hannan, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year. S18.14 He who had counseled the Jews that it would be fitting that one man should die instead of the nation. S18.15 Now Simon Cepha and one of the disciples who was a kinsman of the high priest, because of this he went with Jesus into the courtyard.1 S18.16 Now Simon Cepha was standing outside, (but) the disciple who was the kinsman of the high priest went in and out, and he spoke to the gate keeper and took Simon inside. S18.17 When the maid of the gate keeper saw Simon she said to him, Are you not one of the disciples of this man? He said to her, No. S18.18 Now there were servants standing there, and guards, and they were making themselves a fire in the courtyard to warm themselves, because it was chilly. S18.19 Now the high priest was asking Jesus about his disciples, who they were and about his doctrine, what it was. S18.20 Jesus said to him, I spoke publicly to the world, and I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, and where all the Jews gathered, and I said nothing in secret. S18.21 But why are you asking me now? Ask those who heard (me) what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.

This is an awkward sentence in English, but it is a literal translation of the Syriac.

JOHN: CHAPTER 18

S18.22 When he said these things, one of the guards who was standing (there) struck Jesus on the cheek,1 and said to him, Do you answer the high priest like that? S18.23 Jesus said to him, I have spoken well.2 Why did you strike me? S18.24 Now Hannan send him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. S18.25 Now Simon was also standing near them and keeping warm, and the men who were warming themselves said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? But he denied it and said, No. S18.26 And one of the servants of the high priest answered, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Simon Cepha had cut off. He said to Simon, Did I not see you with him in the garden? S18.27 And again Simon denied it, (saying) I do not know him, and immediately the rooster crowed. S18.28 And as it dawned they led Jesus away from Caiaphas and took him to the praetorium to hand him over to the governor, but they did not go in to the praetorium, lest they defile themselves while eating the unleavened bread.3 S18.29 And Pilate went out to them and said to them, What slander do you have concerning this man? S18.30 They answered and said, If he had not done bad things, we would not be handing him over to you.

Lit. “struck him on the cheek of Jesus.” Since there are no vowel points in Sinaiticus, it is not certain whether the verb is first or second person. It could also be translated as “you have spoken well.” In that case, he might have been saying that the guard was right to respect the office of high priest. 3 Or “Passover.” 1 2

JOHN: CHAPTER 19

S18.31 Pilate said to them, Then take him and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, We have no authority to kill . . . (text broken until 19:40)

CHAPTER 19 (text resumes in the middle of verse 40) S19.40 . . . the body of Jesus. And they wrapped it in linen with that mixture of spices as was the custom of the Jews to be buried. S19.41 Now there was in that place a garden, and in that garden there was a tomb where no one had (ever) been buried. S19.42 And quickly and quietly they laid him in a tomb that was near there because the Sabbath was dawning.

CHAPTER 20 S20.1

And at night, as the first day of the week was dawning, while it was still dark in the early morning, Mary Magdalene1 came to the tomb and saw that the stone was rolled away and removed from the mouth of the tomb.

S20.2

And she ran (and) came to Simon Cepha (Peter) and to the disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken away our Lord from that tomb, and I do not know where they have taken him.

S20.3

And the two of them went out to go to the tomb.

The traditional explanation for the name “Magdalene” is that Mary came from the town of Magdala on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. That town probably got its name from the Hebrew word for “tower” (migdal). In Syriac, however, the root gdl means “to braid, twist.” And there is, in Syriac Christianity, a tradition, mentioned by bar Bahlul, that Mary was called “Magdalene” because she braided her hair. In this verse, there is an obvious play on her name, because the word used here for “rolled” is ‫ ܓ ܐ‬which is from the root for “braid, twist” and is close to her name, which in Syriac is ‫ܐ‬ ‫ ܓ‬. This word play is clearly intentional, because in the other accounts (Mark 16:4 and Luke 24:2) the word for “rolled away” is ‫ ܓ ܐ‬, which is the usual word for “rolled.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 20

S20.4

And they ran, but that disciple was ahead of Simon, and he came to the tomb.

S20.5

And looking in he saw the garments laid aside, but he did not enter the tomb.

S20.6

Now Simon, when he arrived, entered and saw the garments.

S20.7

And the turban1 was wrapped and laid aside.

S20.8

And then that disciple also entered the tomb and they saw and believed.

S20.9

For until that time they did not know from the scriptures that he was to arise from the tomb.

S20.10 But the disciples, when they had seen these things, left. S20.11 But Mary was standing near the tomb and weeping. And as she was weeping, she was looking at the tomb. S20.12 And she saw there two angels in white sitting, one by the pillows of that place where Jesus had been lying, and one at the foot. S20.13 Those angels said to her, Woman why are you weeping? And whom are you seeking? She said to them, They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put him. S20.14 And when she had said these things she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know it was Jesus. S20.15 Now he said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? And whom do you seek? She thought he was the gardener. She said to him, My lord, if you have taken him, tell me where you put him. I will go and get him.

JOHN: CHAPTER 20

S20.16 Then Jesus said to her, Mary, and she understood him and answered and said to him, My master!1 S20.17 And she ran toward him to touch him, but he said to her, Do not touch me until I have ascended to my Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that, behold, I ascend to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God. S20.18 And Mary came (and) said to the disciples that she had seen our Lord, and those things which he had revealed to her she told them. S20.19 And on that day, which was the first of the week, where the disciples were and had barred their doors from fear of the Jews, Jesus came (and) stood in their midst and said to them, Peace be unto you. S20.20 And when he had said it, he showed them his hands and his side, and when the disciples saw it they rejoiced. S20.21 Again he said to them, Peace be unto you. As my Father sent me, I send you. S20.22 And when he had said these things, he breathed in their faces and said to them, Receive the Holy Ghost. S20.23 And he whose sins you forgive, they will be forgiven him, And he whose (sins) you retain, they will be retained. S20.24 But Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not there with the others when Jesus came to them.

Syriac ‫ܪܒ‬, or, anglicized, rabbuli, which is the equivalent of Hebrew rabboni. It is a form of the word “rabbi” which comes from the root for “great” but ended up carrying the main connotation of “teacher.” The form rabboni is reported in the Greek as the word she used, and it is then translated for the benefit of the Greek reader to didaskalos “teacher.” Both the Peshitta and the Harklean also add a phrase to explain the meaning of the word and translate it to ‫ܐ‬ “teacher.”

JOHN: CHAPTER 21

S20.25 They said to him, Our Lord came and showed himself to us. He said to them, Unless I see his hands and the place of those nails, and stretch forth my finger into the place, and stretch forth to . . . (text broken) . . . my hands into the place of the spear in his side, I will not believe. S20.26 And eight days later, on the first of the next week, the disciples were gathered together in the house, and Thomas with them. And the doors were locked. Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, Peace be unto you. S20.27 Then he said to Thomas, Stretch forth your finger and see my hands, and put your hand on my side, and do not lack faith. S20.28 Thomas said to him, My Lord and my God. S20.29 Jesus said to him, Now that you have seen me you believe in me. Blessed are they who have not seen me but believe in me. S20.30 And many other miracles did Jesus show to his disciples, which are not written in this book. S20.31 But these were written that you might believe that Jesus is the messiah, the son of God. And (that) you might believe in him and be saved in his name.1

CHAPTER 21 S21.1

After these things Jesus appeared to his disciples near the sea of Tiberias,2 but he appeared to them thus:

S21.2

When they were gathered, all of them together, Simon Cepha and Thomas and Nathaniel, who was from Qatne3 of the Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Or “live in his name.” This is simply another name for the Sea of Galilee. 3 “Cana” in the Greek text. In any case, it is the place where Jesus changed the water to wine (cf. John 4:46). 1 2

S21.3

Simon said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, We will also go with you. And they went out (and) sat in the boat, but that night they did not catch anything.

S21.4

And when it was dawn, Jesus came (and) stood on the shore of the sea, but his disciples did not realize that it was he.

S21.5

He said to them, Children, do you have something to eat? They said to him, No.

S21.6

He said to them, Cast your nets from the right side of the boat and you will find (fish). And when they cast as he had said to them, they tried to pull the net onto the ship, but they were not able from the weight of the many fishes it held.

S21.7

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Simon, It is our Lord. Now when Simon heard that it was our Lord, he took his garment, wrapped it around his loins and jumped into the sea and swam and came (to him).

S21.8

Because they were not far from land, and the rest of the disciples came in the boat dragging the net.

S21.9

And when they went onto dry land they found before Jesus burning coals of fire, and fish lying on them and bread put (there).

S21.10 Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fishes which you just caught. S21.11 And Simon went up (and) dragged the net onto dry land while it was full, and they found in it great fishes, one hundred fifty three, and with all this weight, the net was not torn. S21.12 Jesus said to them, Come, dine. And not one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, because they believed that it was he. S21.13 And Jesus took the bread and the fish and blessed them and gave to them.

JOHN: CHAPTER 21

S21.14 This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had arisen from the tomb. S21.15 And when they had eaten Jesus said to Simon, Simon bar Yonan, do you love me? He said to him, Yes my Lord. He said to him, Feed my lambs for me. S21.16 Again Jesus said to him, Simon bar Yonan, do you love me well? He said to him, Yes, my Lord. He said to him, Feed my sheep for me. S21.17 Again Jesus said to him, Simon bar Yonan, do you love me? It grieved Simon because Jesus spoke like this three times. Simon said to him, You know everything. You know that I love you. And he said to him, feed my sheep1 for me. S21.18 Verily I say that when you were a child you did gird your loins and walk where you wanted, but when you are old you will lift up your hands and others will bind you (and) your loins and push you where you do not want (to go). S21.19 Now he said this of the kind of death by which Simon would glorify God. And when he had said these things he said to Simon, Follow me. S21.20 Simon turned and saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following him, who had fallen on the chest of Jesus at the supper and said to him, My Lord, who will betray you?

There is a progression in the Sinaiticus which is not preserved in other versions. There are three different words used for “sheep.” In verse 15 the word is ‫ܐ ܐ‬, which refers to lambs. In verse 16 the noun is ‫ ܐ‬, which refers to sheep, but more speficially to ewes. In verse 17 the word is ‫ ܒܐ‬, which a more general word for sheep. In the Greek, this progression is lost because there are only two words for sheep used in that version, αρνια (in verse 15) and προβατα (verses 16 and 17). The progression is also lost in the other Syriac versions (Peshitta and Harklean) for they use ‫ ܒܐ‬in verse 16 and ‫ ܐ‬in verse 17. In Sinaiticus the progression is nice, because it allows for the interpretation of, “take care of the children, take care of the women, and take care of everyone else.” In other words, it progresses from those traditionally needing the most care to those needing the least in that society.

JOHN: CHAPTER 21

S21.21 When Simon saw this one following he said to him, And this one my Lord, what (of him)? S21.22 Jesus said to him, If I want this one to remain until I come, what is that to you? You, follow me now. S21.23 And this saying went out among the disciples that that disciple would not die, but Jesus was not saying that he would not die, but (simply) if I want him to remain until I come. S21.24 This was the disciple who testified about those things and wrote them and we know that his testimony it true. S21.25 And Jesus did many other things, that if each one of them were written, the world would not be enough for them. Colophon: The end of the separated gospel of four books. Glory to God and to his Messiah and to the Holy Ghost. Let everyone who reads and hears and keeps and does (it) pray for the sinner who wrote (it). May God in his mercy forgive him his sins in both worlds. Amen and amen.
