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 Пе́рвое ᲂу҆́бѡ сло́во сотвори́хъ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ѽ, ѳео́фїле, ꙗ҆̀же нача́тъ і҆и҃съ твори́ти же и҆ ᲂу҆чи́ти
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
1 Τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην περὶ πάντων, ὦ Θεόφιλε, ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν
2 да́же до днѐ, во́ньже, заповѣ́давъ а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ, и҆̀хже и҆збра̀, вознесе́сѧ:
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
2 ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας ἐντειλάμενος τοῖς ἀποστόλοις διὰ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἀνελήφθη·
3 пред̾ ни́миже и҆ поста́ви себѐ жи́ва по страда́нїи свое́мъ во мно́зѣхъ и҆́стинныхъ зна́менїихъ, де́ньми четы́редесѧтьми ꙗ҆влѧ́ѧсѧ и҆̀мъ и҆ гл҃ѧ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи:
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
3 οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις, δι᾽ ἡμερῶν τεσσαράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καὶ λέγων τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ.
4 съ ни́миже и҆ ꙗ҆ды́й повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма не ѿлꙋча́тисѧ, но жда́ти ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ ѻ҆́ч҃а, є҆́же слы́шасте ѿ менє̀:
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
4 καὶ συναλιζόμενος παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων μὴ χωρίζεσθαι, ἀλλὰ περιμένειν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρὸς ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου·
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ѡа́ннъ ᲂу҆́бѡ крести́лъ є҆́сть водо́ю, вы́ же и҆́мате крести́тисѧ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ не по мно́зѣхъ си́хъ дне́хъ.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
5 ὅτι Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας.
6 Ѻ҆ни́ же ᲂу҆̀бо соше́дшесѧ вопроша́хꙋ є҆го̀, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще въ лѣ́то сїѐ ᲂу҆строѧ́еши ца́рствїе і҆и҃лево;
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
6 οἱ μὲν οὖν συνελθόντες ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Κύριε, εἰ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τούτῳ ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ;
7 Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: нѣ́сть ва́ше разꙋмѣ́ти времена̀ и҆ лѣ̑та, ꙗ҆̀же ѻ҆ц҃ъ положѝ во свое́й вла́сти:
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
7 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· οὐχ ὑμῶν ἐστι γνῶναι χρόνους ἢ καιροὺς οὓς ὁ πατὴρ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ,
8 но прїи́мете си́лꙋ, наше́дшꙋ ст҃о́мꙋ дх҃ꙋ на вы̀, и҆ бꙋ́дете мѝ свидѣ́телїе во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ же и҆ во все́й і҆ꙋде́и и҆ самарі́и и҆ да́же до послѣ́днихъ землѝ.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
8 ἀλλὰ λήψεσθε δύναμιν ἐπελθόντος τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι μάρτυρες ἔν τε Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.
9 И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, зрѧ́щымъ и҆̀мъ взѧ́тсѧ, и҆ ѡ҆́блакъ под̾ѧ́тъ є҆го̀ ѿ ѻ҆́чїю и҆́хъ.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
9 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν βλεπόντων αὐτῶν ἐπήρθη, καὶ νεφέλη ὑπέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν.
10 И҆ є҆гда̀ взира́юще бѧ́хꙋ на не́бо, и҆дꙋ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ̑жа два̀ ста́ста пред̾ ни́ми во ѻ҆де́жди бѣ́лѣ,
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
10 καὶ ὡς ἀτενίζοντες ἦσαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν πορευομένου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο παρειστήκεισαν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐσθῆτι λευκῇ,
11 ꙗ҆̀же и҆ реко́ста: мꙋ́жїе галїле́йстїи, что̀ стоитѐ зрѧ́ще на не́бо; се́й і҆и҃съ, вознесы́йсѧ ѿ ва́съ на нб҃о, та́кожде прїи́детъ, и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ ви́дѣсте є҆го̀ и҆дꙋ́ща на нб҃о.
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
11 οἳ καὶ εἶπον· ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι, τί ἑστήκατε ἐμβλέποντες εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναληφθεὶς ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, οὕτως ἐλεύσεται, ὃν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτὸν πορευόμενον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
12 Тогда̀ возврати́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ѿ горы̀ нарица́емыѧ є҆леѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть бли́з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, сꙋббѡ́ты и҆мꙋ́щїѧ пꙋ́ть.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
12 Τότε ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ ὄρους τοῦ καλουμένου ἐλαιῶνος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς Ἱερουσαλήμ, σαββάτου ἔχον ὁδόν.
13 И҆ є҆гда̀ внидо́ша, взыдо́ша на го́рницꙋ, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ пребыва́юще, пе́тръ же и҆ і҆а́кѡвъ, и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ и҆ а҆ндре́й, фїлі́ппъ и҆ ѳѡма̀, варѳоломе́й и҆ матѳе́й, і҆а́кѡвъ а҆лфе́овъ и҆ сі́мѡнъ зилѡ́тъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́да і҆а́кѡвль:
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
13 καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθον, ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον οὗ ἦσαν καταμένοντες, ὅ τε Πέτρος καὶ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης καὶ Ἀνδρέας, Φίλιππος καὶ Θωμᾶς, Βαρθολομαῖος καὶ Ματθαῖος, Ἰάκωβος Ἀλφαίου καὶ Σίμων ὁ Ζηλωτὴς καὶ Ἰούδας Ἰακώβου.
14 сі́и всѝ бѧ́хꙋ терпѧ́ще є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ въ моли́твѣ и҆ моле́нїи, съ жена́ми и҆ мр҃і́ею мт҃рїю і҆и҃совою и҆ съ бра́тїею є҆гѡ̀.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
14 οὗτοι πάντες ἦσαν προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει σὺν γυναιξὶ καὶ Μαρίᾳ τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ.
15 И҆ во дни̑ ты̑ѧ воста́въ пе́тръ посредѣ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃къ, речѐ,
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
15 Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἀναστὰς Πέτρος ἐν μέσῳ τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπεν· ἦν τε ὄχλος ὀνομάτων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσιν·
16 бѣ́ же и҆ме́нъ наро́да вкꙋ́пѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ сто̀ и҆ два́десѧть: мꙋ́жїе бра́тїе, подоба́ше сконча́тисѧ писа́нїю семꙋ̀, є҆́же предречѐ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й ᲂу҆сты̑ дв҃довыми ѡ҆ і҆ꙋ́дѣ, бы́вшемъ вождѝ є҆́мшымъ і҆и҃са:
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
16 ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἣν προεῖπε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον διὰ στόματος Δαυῒδ περὶ Ἰούδα τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τοῖς συλλαβοῦσι τὸν Ἰησοῦν,
17 ꙗ҆́кѡ причте́нъ бѣ̀ съ на́ми и҆ прїѧ́лъ бѧ́ше жре́бїй слꙋ́жбы сеѧ̀:
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
17 ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν σὺν ἡμῖν καὶ ἔλαχε τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης.
18 се́й ᲂу҆̀бо стѧжа̀ село̀ ѿ мзды̀ непра́ведныѧ, и҆ ни́цъ бы́въ просѣ́десѧ посредѣ̀, и҆ и҆злїѧ́сѧ всѧ̀ ᲂу҆тро́ба є҆гѡ̀:
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
18 οὗτος μὲν οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας, καὶ πρηνὴς γενόμενος ἐλάκησε μέσος, καὶ ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ·
19 и҆ разꙋ́мно бы́сть всѣ́мъ живꙋ́щымъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нарещи́сѧ селꙋ̀ томꙋ̀ свои́мъ и҆́хъ ѧ҆зы́комъ а҆келдама̀, є҆́же є҆́сть село̀ кро́ве:
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
19 καὶ γνωστὸν ἐγένετο πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὥστε κληθῆναι τὸ χωρίον ἐκεῖνο τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ αὐτῶν Ἀκελδαμᾶ, τουτέστι χωρίον αἵματος.
20 пи́шетсѧ бо въ кни́зѣ ѱало́мстѣй: да бꙋ́детъ дво́ръ є҆гѡ̀ пꙋ́стъ, и҆ да не бꙋ́детъ живꙋ́щагѡ въ не́мъ, и҆ є҆пі́скопство є҆гѡ̀ да прїи́метъ и҆́нъ:
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
20 γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν· γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ· καί· τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος.
21 подоба́етъ ᲂу҆̀бо ѿ сходи́вшихсѧ съ на́ми мꙋже́й во всѧ́ко лѣ́то, въ не́же вни́де и҆ и҆зы́де въ на́съ гдⷭ҇ь і҆и҃съ,
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
21 δεῖ οὖν τῶν συνελθόντων ἡμῖν ἀνδρῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ ἐν ᾧ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς,
22 наче́нъ ѿ креще́нїѧ і҆ѡа́ннова да́же до днѐ, во́ньже вознесе́сѧ (на нб҃о) ѿ на́съ, свидѣ́телю воскрⷭ҇нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ бы́ти съ на́ми є҆ди́номꙋ ѿ си́хъ.
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
22 ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήφθη ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν, μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ γενέσθαι σὺν ἡμῖν ἕνα τούτων.
23 И҆ поста́виша два̀, і҆ѡ́сифа нарица́емаго варса́вꙋ, и҆́же нарече́нъ бы́сть і҆ꙋ́стъ, и҆ матѳі́а,
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
23 Καὶ ἔστησαν δύο, Ἰωσὴφ τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν, ὃς ἐπεκλήθη Ἰοῦστος, καὶ Ματθίαν,
24 и҆ помоли́вшесѧ рѣ́ша: ты̀, гдⷭ҇и, срⷣцевѣ́дче всѣ́хъ, покажѝ, є҆го́же и҆збра́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ сею̀ двою̀ є҆ди́наго,
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
24 καὶ προσευξάμενοι εἶπον· σὺ Κύριε, καρδιογνῶστα πάντων, ἀνάδειξον ὃν ἐξελέξω ἐκ τούτων τῶν δύο ἕνα,
25 прїѧ́ти жре́бїй слꙋже́нїѧ сегѡ̀ и҆ а҆пⷭ҇льства, и҆з̾ негѡ́же и҆спадѐ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆тѝ въ мѣ́сто своѐ.
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
25 λαβεῖν τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης καὶ ἀποστολῆς, ἐξ ἧς παρέβη Ἰούδας πορευθῆναι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν ἴδιον.
26 И҆ да́ша жрє́бїѧ и҆́ма, и҆ падѐ жре́бїй на матѳі́а, и҆ причте́нъ бы́сть ко є҆динона́десѧти а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
26 καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Ματθίαν, καὶ συγκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων.

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
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
To many persons this Book is so little known, both it and its author, that they are not even aware that there is such a book in existence.

… Judas to be, after being separated from her Enthymesis, was restored or recalled [to her former position]; but Judas was deprived [of his office], and cast out, while Matthias was ordained in his place, according to what is written, "And his bishopric let another take." They ought therefore to maintain that the twelfth Æon was cast out of the Pleroma, …
… the Father hath put in His own power; but ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even unto the ends of the earth."

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.
