Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Мꙋ́жъ же нѣ́кїй бѣ̀ въ кесарі́и, и҆́менемъ корни́лїй, со́тникъ ѿ спі́ры нарица́ющїѧсѧ і҆талі́йскїѧ,
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 благоговѣ́инъ и҆ боѧ́йсѧ бг҃а со всѣ́мъ до́момъ свои́мъ, творѧ́й ми́лѡстыни мнѡ́ги лю́демъ и҆ молѧ́йсѧ бг҃ꙋ всегда̀:
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 ви́дѣ въ видѣ́нїи ꙗ҆́вѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ ча́съ девѧ́тый днѐ, а҆́гг҃ла бж҃їѧ сше́дша къ немꙋ̀ и҆ ре́кша є҆мꙋ̀: корни́лїе.
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 Ѻ҆́нъ же воззрѣ́въ на́нь и҆ пристра́шенъ бы́въ речѐ: что̀ є҆́сть, гдⷭ҇и; рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: мѡли́твы твоѧ̑ и҆ ми́лѡстыни твоѧ̑ взыдо́ша на па́мѧть пред̾ бг҃а:
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 и҆ нн҃ѣ послѝ во і҆ѻппі́ю мꙋже́й и҆ призовѝ сі́мѡна, нарица́емаго петра̀:
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
6 се́й стра́нствꙋетъ ᲂу҆ нѣ́коегѡ сі́мѡна ᲂу҆смарѧ̀, є҆мꙋ́же є҆́сть до́мъ при мо́ри: то́й рече́тъ тебѣ̀ глаго́лы, въ ни́хже сп҃се́шисѧ ты̀ и҆ ве́сь до́мъ тво́й.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
7 И҆ ꙗ҆́коже ѿи́де а҆́гг҃лъ глаго́лѧй корни́лїю, пригласи́въ два̀ ѿ рабѡ́въ свои́хъ и҆ во́ина благочести́ва ѿ слꙋжа́щихъ є҆мꙋ̀
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 и҆ сказа́въ и҆̀мъ всѧ̑, посла̀ и҆̀хъ во і҆ѻппі́ю.
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Воꙋ́трїе же, пꙋтьше́ствꙋющымъ и҆̀мъ и҆ ко гра́дꙋ приближа́ющымсѧ, взы́де пе́тръ на го́рницꙋ помоли́тисѧ, ѡ҆ часѣ̀ шестѣ́мъ.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Бы́сть же прїа́лченъ и҆ хотѧ́ше вкꙋси́ти: гото́вѧщымъ же ѡ҆́нѣмъ, нападѐ на́нь ᲂу҆́жасъ,
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 и҆ ви́дѣ не́бо ѿве́рсто и҆ сходѧ́щъ на́нь сосꙋ́дъ нѣ́кїй, ꙗ҆́кѡ плащани́цꙋ ве́лїю, по четы́ремъ кра́ємъ привѧ́занъ и҆ ни́зꙋ спꙋща́емь на зе́млю,
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 въ не́мже бѧ́хꙋ всѧ̑ четверонѡ́гаѧ землѝ и҆ ѕвѣ́рїе и҆ га́ди и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 И҆ бы́сть гла́съ къ немꙋ̀: воста́въ, пе́тре, заколѝ и҆ ꙗ҆́ждь.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Пе́тръ же речѐ: ника́коже, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ николи́же ꙗ҆до́хъ всѧ́ко скве́рно и҆лѝ нечи́сто.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
15 И҆ (сѐ) гла́съ па́ки къ немꙋ̀ втори́цею: ꙗ҆̀же бг҃ъ ѡ҆чⷭ҇тилъ є҆́сть, ты̀ не сквернѝ.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 Сїе́ же бы́сть три́щи: и҆ па́ки взѧ́сѧ сосꙋ́дъ на не́бо.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
17 Ꙗ҆́коже въ себѣ̀ недоꙋмѣва́шесѧ пе́тръ, что́ бы бы́ло видѣ́нїе, є҆́же ви́дѣ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жїе по́сланнїи ѿ корни́лїа, вопро́шше и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣвше до́мъ сі́мѡновъ, ста́ша пред̾ враты̀
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 и҆ возгла́шше вопроша́хꙋ, а҆́ще сі́мѡнъ, нарица́емый пе́тръ, здѣ̀ стра́нствꙋетъ.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Петрꙋ́ же размышлѧ́ющꙋ ѡ҆ видѣ́нїи, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дх҃ъ: сѐ, мꙋ́жїе трїѐ и҆́щꙋтъ тебє̀:
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 но воста́въ сни́ди и҆ и҆дѝ съ ни́ми, ничто́же разсꙋжда́ѧ: занѐ а҆́зъ посла́хъ и҆̀хъ.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Соше́дъ же пе́тръ къ мꙋжє́мъ пѡ́сланнымъ къ немꙋ̀ ѿ корни́лїа, речѐ: сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь, є҆гѡ́же и҆́щете: ка́ѧ є҆́сть вина̀, є҆ѧ́же ра́ди прїидо́сте;
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
22 Ѻ҆ни́ же реко́ша: корни́лїй со́тникъ, мꙋ́жъ првⷣнъ и҆ боѧ́йсѧ бг҃а, свидѣ́тельствованъ ѿ всегѡ̀ ꙗ҆зы́ка і҆ꙋде́йска, ᲂу҆вѣще́нъ є҆́сть ѿ а҆́гг҃ла ст҃а призва́ти тѧ̀ въ до́мъ сво́й и҆ слы́шати глаго́лы ѿ тебє̀.
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
23 Призва́въ же и҆̀хъ ᲂу҆чредѝ: наꙋ́трїе же пе́тръ воста́въ и҆́де съ ни́ми, и҆ нѣ́цыи ѿ бра́тїй, и҆̀же ѿ і҆ѻппі́и, и҆до́ша съ ни́мъ:
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 и҆ наꙋ́трїе внидо́ша въ кесарі́ю. Корни́лїй же бѣ̀ ча́ѧ и҆̀хъ, созва́въ сро́дники своѧ̑ и҆ любє́зныѧ дрꙋ́ги.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Ꙗ҆́коже бы́сть вни́ти петрꙋ̀, срѣ́те є҆го̀ корни́лїй, и҆ па́дъ на ногꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ поклони́сѧ.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Пе́тръ же воздви́же є҆го̀, глаго́лѧ: воста́ни: и҆ а҆́зъ са́мъ человѣ́къ є҆́смь.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 И҆ съ ни́мъ бесѣ́дꙋѧ, вни́де и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те собра́вшыѧсѧ мнѡ́ги:
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: вы̀ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ не лѣ́по є҆́сть мꙋ́жꙋ і҆ꙋде́анинꙋ прилѣплѧ́тисѧ и҆лѝ приходи́ти ко и҆ноплеме́нникꙋ: и҆ мнѣ̀ бг҃ъ показа̀ ни є҆ди́наго скве́рна и҆лѝ нечи́ста глаго́лати человѣ́ка:
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
29 тѣ́мже и҆ без̾ сꙋмнѣ́нїѧ прїидо́хъ призва́нъ: вопроша́ю вы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо, коеѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ посла́сте по менѐ;
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
30 И҆ корни́лїй речѐ: ѿ четве́ртагѡ днѐ да́же до сегѡ̀ часа̀ бѣ́хъ постѧ́сѧ и҆ въ девѧ́тый ча́съ молѧ́сѧ въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ: и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ ста̀ предо мно́ю во ѻ҆де́жди свѣ́тлѣ
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
31 и҆ речѐ: корни́лїе, ᲂу҆слы́шана бы́сть моли́тва твоѧ̀, и҆ ми́лѡстыни твоѧ̑ помѧнꙋ́шасѧ пред̾ бг҃омъ:
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 послѝ ᲂу҆̀бо во і҆ѻппі́ю и҆ призовѝ сі́мѡна, и҆́же нарица́етсѧ пе́тръ: се́й стра́нствꙋетъ въ домꙋ̀ сі́мѡна ᲂу҆смарѧ̀ бли́з̾ мо́рѧ: и҆́же прише́дъ возглаго́летъ тебѣ̀.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 А҆́бїе ᲂу҆̀бо посла́хъ къ тебѣ̀, ты́ же до́брѣ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ прише́дъ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо всѝ мы̀ пред̾ бг҃омъ предстои́мъ слы́шати всѧ̑ повелѣ̑ннаѧ тебѣ̀ ѿ бг҃а.
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Ѿве́рзъ же пе́тръ ᲂу҆ста̀, речѐ: пои́стиннѣ разꙋмѣва́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ не на лица̑ зри́тъ бг҃ъ,
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
35 но во всѧ́цѣмъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣ боѧ́йсѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ дѣ́лаѧй пра́вдꙋ прїѧ́тенъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть:
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 сло́во, є҆́же посла̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, бл҃говѣствꙋ́ѧ ми́ръ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ: се́й є҆́сть всѣ̑мъ гдⷭ҇ь:
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 вы̀ вѣ́сте глаго́лъ бы́вшїй по все́й і҆ꙋде́и, наче́ншїйсѧ ѿ галїле́и, по креще́нїи, є҆́же проповѣ́да і҆ѡа́ннъ:
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 і҆и҃са, и҆́же ѿ назаре́та, ꙗ҆́кѡ пома́за є҆го̀ бг҃ъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ и҆ си́лою, и҆́же про́йде бл҃года́тельствꙋѧ и҆ и҆сцѣлѧ́ѧ всѧ̑ наси́лѡванныѧ ѿ дїа́вола, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ бѧ́ше съ ни́мъ:
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 и҆ мы̀ є҆смы̀ свидѣ́телє всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ во странѣ̀ і҆ꙋде́йстѣй и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: є҆го́же и҆ ᲂу҆би́ша, повѣ́шше на дре́вѣ.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 Сего̀ бг҃ъ воскр҃сѝ въ тре́тїй де́нь и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆вле́нꙋ бы́ти,
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
41 не всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ, но на́мъ свидѣ́телємъ преднаречє́ннымъ ѿ бг҃а, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ꙗ҆до́хомъ и҆ пи́хомъ, по воскрⷭ҇нїи є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ:
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 и҆ повелѣ̀ на́мъ проповѣ́дати лю́демъ и҆ засвидѣ́тельствовати, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й є҆́сть нарече́нный ѿ бг҃а сꙋдїѧ̀ живы̑мъ и҆ мє́ртвымъ:
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 ѡ҆ се́мъ всѝ прⷪ҇ро́цы свидѣ́тельствꙋютъ, ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ прїѧ́ти и҆́менемъ є҆гѡ̀ всѧ́комꙋ вѣ́рꙋющемꙋ во́нь.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
44 Є҆ще́ же глаго́лющꙋ петрꙋ̀ глаго́лы сїѧ̑, нападѐ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й на всѧ̑ слы́шащыѧ сло́во.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 И҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ и҆̀же ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ вѣ́рнїи, є҆ли́цы прїидо́ша съ петро́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на ꙗ҆зы́ки да́ръ ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а и҆злїѧ́сѧ:
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
46 слы́шахꙋ бо и҆̀хъ глаго́лющихъ ѧ҆зы̑ки и҆ велича́ющихъ бг҃а. Тогда̀ ѿвѣща̀ пе́тръ:
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 є҆да̀ во́дꙋ возбрани́ти мо́жетъ кто̀, є҆́же не крести́тисѧ си̑мъ, и҆̀же дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й прїѧ́ша, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ мы̀;
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
48 Повелѣ́ же и҆̀мъ крести́тисѧ во и҆́мѧ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́во. Тогда̀ моли́ша є҆го̀ пребы́ти ᲂу҆ ни́хъ дни̑ нѣ̑кїѧ.
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
