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 По пѧти́хъ же дне́хъ сни́де а҆рхїере́й а҆на́нїа со ста̑рцы и҆ съ ри́торомъ нѣ́кїимъ тертѵ́лломъ, и҆̀же сказа́ша и҆ге́мѡнꙋ ѡ҆ па́ѵлѣ.
1 Y CINCO días después descendió el sumo sacerdote Ananías, con algunos de los ancianos, y un cierto Tértulo, orador; y parecieron delante del gobernador contra Pablo.
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2 При́званꙋ же бы́вшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, нача́тъ клевета́ти тертѵ́ллъ, глаго́лѧ:
2 Y citado que fué, Tértulo comenzó á acusar, diciendo: Como por causa tuya vivamos en grande paz, y muchas cosas sean bien gobernadas en el pueblo por tu prudencia,
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
3 мно́гъ ми́ръ ᲂу҆лꙋча́юще тобо́ю, и҆ и҆справлє́нїѧ быва́ємаѧ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ семꙋ̀ твои́мъ промышле́нїемъ, всѧ́кимъ же ѡ҆́бразомъ и҆ вездѣ̀ прїе́млемъ, держа́вный фи́лїѯе, со всѧ́кимъ благодаре́нїемъ:
3 Siempre y en todo lugar lo recibimos con todo hacimiento de gracias, oh excelentísimo Félix.
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 но да не мно́жае стꙋжа́ю тебѣ̀, молю́ тѧ послꙋ́шати на́съ вкра́тцѣ твое́ю кро́тостїю:
4 Empero por no molestarte más largamente, ruégote que nos oigas brevemente conforme á tu equidad.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5 ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ бо мꙋ́жа сего̀ гꙋби́телѧ и҆ дви́жꙋща противле́нїе всѣ̑мъ і҆ꙋде́ємъ живꙋ́щымъ по вселе́ннѣй и҆ предста́телѧ (сꙋ́ща) назѡре́йстѣй є҆́реси,
5 Porque hemos hallado que este hombre es pestilencial, y levantador de sediciones entre todos los Judíos por todo el mundo, y príncipe de la secta de los Nazarenos:
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 и҆́же и҆ це́рковь покꙋси́сѧ ѡ҆скверни́ти, є҆го́же и҆ ꙗ҆́хомъ и҆ по зако́нꙋ на́шемꙋ хотѣ́хомъ сꙋди́ти є҆мꙋ̀:
6 El cual también tentó á violar el templo; y prendiéndole, le quisimos juzgar conforme á nuestra ley:
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
7 прише́дъ же лѷсі́а ты́сѧщникъ, мно́гою си́лою ѿ рꙋ́къ на́шихъ и҆схитѝ є҆го̀ и҆ къ тебѣ̀ посла̀,
7 Mas interviniendo el tribuno Lisias, con grande violencia le quitó de nuestras manos,
7 Not in this translation
8 повелѣ́въ (и҆ на́мъ) пое́млющымъ на́нь и҆тѝ къ тебѣ̀: ѿ негѡ́же возмо́жеши са́мъ разсꙋди́въ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ си́хъ позна́ти, ѡ҆ ни́хже мы̀ пое́млемъ на́нь.
8 Mandando á sus acusadores que viniesen á ti; del cual tú mismo juzgando, podrás entender todas estas cosas de que le acusamos.
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9 Сложи́шасѧ же и҆ і҆ꙋде́є, глаго́люще си̑мъ та́кѡ бы́ти.
9 Y contendían también los Judíos, diciendo ser así estas cosas.
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10 Ѿвѣща́ же па́ѵелъ, поманꙋ́вшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ге́мѡнꙋ глаго́лати: ѿ мно́гихъ лѣ́тъ сꙋ́ща тѧ̀ сꙋдїю̀ пра́ведна ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ семꙋ̀ свѣ́дый, благодꙋ́шнѣе ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ ѿвѣща́ю,
10 Entonces Pablo, haciéndole el gobernador señal que hablase, respondió: Porque sé que muchos años ha eres gobernador de esta nación, con buen ánimo satisfaré por mí.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
11 могꙋ́щꙋ тѝ разꙋмѣ́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мно́жае мѝ є҆́сть дні́й двана́десѧтихъ, ѿне́лѣже взыдо́хъ поклони́тисѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ:
11 Porque tú puedes entender que no hace más de doce días que subí á adorar á Jerusalem;
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12 и҆ ни въ це́ркви ѡ҆брѣто́ша мѧ̀ къ комꙋ̀ глаго́люща и҆лѝ развра́тъ творѧ́ща наро́дꙋ, ни въ со́нмищихъ, ни во гра́дѣ,
12 Y ni me hallaron en el templo disputando con ninguno, ni haciendo concurso de multitud, ni en sinagogas, ni en la ciudad;
12 In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
13 нижѐ довестѝ мо́гꙋтъ, є҆ли̑ка тебѣ̀ нн҃ѣ на мѧ̀ глаго́лютъ:
13 Ni te pueden probar las cosas de que ahora me acusan.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14 и҆сповѣ́дꙋю же тебѣ̀ сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ пꙋтѝ, є҆го́же сі́и глаго́лютъ є҆́ресь, та́кѡ слꙋжꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́ческомꙋ бг҃ꙋ, вѣ́рꙋѧ всѣ̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ въ зако́нѣ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цѣхъ пи̑санымъ,
14 Esto empero te confieso, que conforme á aquel Camino que llaman herejía, así sirvo al Dios de mis padres, creyendo todas las cosas que en la ley y en los profetas están escritas;
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
15 ᲂу҆пова́нїе и҆мы́й на бг҃а, ꙗ҆́кѡ воскрⷭ҇нїе хо́щетъ бы́ти мє́ртвымъ, првⷣникѡмъ же и҆ грѣ́шникѡмъ, є҆го́же и҆ са́ми сі́и ча́ютъ:
15 Teniendo esperanza en Dios que ha de haber resurrección de los muertos, así de justos como de injustos, la cual también ellos esperan.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 ѡ҆ се́мъ же и҆ а҆́зъ подвиза́юсѧ, непоро́чнꙋ со́вѣсть и҆мѣ́ти всегда̀ пред̾ бг҃омъ же и҆ человѣ̑ки:
16 Y por esto, procuro yo tener siempre conciencia sin remordimiento acerca de Dios y acerca de los hombres.
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17 по лѣ́тѣхъ же мно́гихъ прїидо́хъ сотвори́ти ми́лѡстыни во ꙗ҆зы́къ мо́й и҆ приношє́нїѧ:
17 Mas pasados muchos años, vine á hacer limosnas á mi nación, y ofrendas,
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18 въ ни́хже ѡ҆брѣто́ша мѧ̀ ѡ҆чище́нна въ це́ркви, ни съ наро́домъ, нижѐ съ молво́ю,
18 Cuando me hallaron purificado en el templo (no con multitud ni con alboroto) unos Judíos de Asia;
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19 нѣ́цыи ѿ а҆сі́и і҆ꙋде́є, и҆̀мже подоба́ше пред̾ тѧ̀ прїитѝ и҆ глаго́лати, а҆́ще и҆́мꙋтъ что̀ на мѧ̀:
19 Los cuales debieron comparecer delante de ti, y [acusarme], si contra mí tenían algo.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20 и҆лѝ са́ми ті́и да глаго́лютъ, а҆́ще кꙋ́ю ѡ҆брѣто́ша во мнѣ̀ непра́вдꙋ, ста́вшꙋ мѝ въ со́нмищи,
20 O digan estos mismos si hallaron en mí alguna cosa mal hecha, cuando yo estuve en el concilio,
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21 ра́звѣ є҆ди́нагѡ сегѡ̀ гла́са, и҆́мже возопи́хъ стоѧ̀ въ ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ воскрⷭ҇нїи ме́ртвыхъ а҆́зъ сꙋ́дъ прїе́млю дне́сь ѿ ва́съ.
21 Si no sea que, estando entre ellos prorrumpí en alta voz: Acerca de la resurrección de los muertos soy hoy juzgado de vosotros.
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
22 Слы́шавъ же сїѧ̑ фи́лїѯъ ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ, и҆звѣ́стнѣе ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣвъ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ пꙋтѝ се́мъ, глаго́лѧ: є҆гда̀ лѷсі́а ты́сѧщникъ прїи́детъ, разсꙋждꙋ̀ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ ва́съ.
22 Entonces Félix, oídas estas cosas, estando bien informado de esta secta, les puso dilación, diciendo: Cuando descendiere el tribuno Lisias acabaré de conocer de vuestro negocio.
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
23 Повелѣ́ же со́тникꙋ стрещѝ па́ѵла, и҆ и҆мѣ́ти ѡ҆сла́бꙋ, и҆ ни є҆ди́номꙋ же возбранѧ́ти ѿ свои́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ слꙋжи́ти и҆лѝ приходи́ти къ немꙋ̀.
23 Y mandó al centurión que Pablo fuese guardado, y aliviado [de las prisiones]; y que no vedase á ninguno de sus familiares servirle, ó venir á él.
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
24 По дне́хъ же нѣ́кїихъ прише́дъ фи́лїѯъ со дрꙋсі́ллїею жено́ю свое́ю сꙋ́щею і҆ꙋде́анынею, призва̀ па́ѵла, да слы́шитъ ѿ негѡ̀ вѣ́рꙋ, ꙗ҆́же во хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са.
24 Y algunos días después, viniendo Félix con Drusila, su mujer, la cual era Judía, llamó á Pablo, y oyó de él la fe que es en Jesucristo.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Глаго́лющꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆ пра́вдѣ и҆ ѡ҆ воздержа́нїи и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ̀ хотѧ́щемъ бы́ти, пристра́шенъ бы́въ фи́лїѯъ ѿвѣща̀: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆́бѡ и҆дѝ, вре́мѧ же полꙋчи́въ призовꙋ́ тѧ.
25 Y disertando él de la justicia, y de la continencia, y del juicio venidero, espantado Félix, respondió: Ahora vete; mas en teniendo oportunidad te llamaré:
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
26 Вкꙋ́пѣ же и҆ надѣ́ѧсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мзда̀ да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ па́ѵла, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѿпꙋ́ститъ є҆го̀: тѣ́мже и҆ ча́стѡ призыва́ѧ є҆го̀, бесѣ́доваше съ ни́мъ.
26 Esperando también con esto, que de parte de Pablo le serían dados dineros, porque le soltase; por lo cual, haciéndole venir muchas veces, hablaba con él.
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
27 Двѣма́ же лѣ́тома сконча́вшемасѧ прїѧ́тъ и҆змѣне́нїе фи́лїѯъ поркі́а фи́ста: хотѧ́ же ᲂу҆го́дное сотвори́ти і҆ꙋде́ємъ фи́лїѯъ, ѡ҆ста́ви па́ѵла свѧ́зана.
27 Mas al cabo de dos años recibió Félix por sucesor á Porcio Festo: y queriendo Félix ganar la gracia de los Judíos, dejó preso á Pablo.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

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).
See how much close investigation is made by the many in a long course of time, that it should not be said that the trial was hurried over. For, as the orator had made mention of Lysias, that he took "him away with violence, Felix," he says, "deferred them.
