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 А҆грі́ппа же къ па́ѵлꙋ речѐ: повелѣва́етсѧ тѝ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ самомꙋ̀ глаго́лати. Тогда̀ па́ѵелъ просте́ръ рꙋ́кꙋ ѿвѣщава́ше:
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
1 Ἀγρίππας δὲ πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον ἔφη· ἐπιτρέπεταί σοι ὑπὲρ σεαυτοῦ λέγειν. τότε ὁ Παῦλος ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἀπελογεῖτο·
2 ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ѡ҆ ни́хже ѡ҆клевета́емь є҆́смь ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, непщꙋ́ю себѐ блаже́нна бы́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ пред̾ тобо́ю ѿвѣща́ти дне́сь и҆́мамъ,
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things the Jews accuse me of,
2 περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐγκαλοῦμαι ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων, βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, ἥγημαι ἐμαυτὸν μακάριον ἐπὶ σοῦ μέλλων ἀπολογεῖσθαι σήμερον,
3 па́че же вѣ́дца тѧ̀ сꙋ́ща свѣ́дый всѣ́хъ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ ѡ҆бы́чаєвъ и҆ взыска́нїй. Тѣ́мже молю́сѧ тѝ долготерпѣли́внѡ послꙋ́шати менє̀.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
3 μάλιστα γνώστην ὄντα σε πάντων τῶν κατὰ Ἰουδαίους ἐθῶν τε καὶ ζητημάτων· διὸ δέομαί σου μακροθύμως ἀκοῦσαί μου.
4 Житїѐ ᲂу҆́бѡ моѐ є҆́же ѿ ю҆́ности, и҆спе́рва бы́вшее во ꙗ҆зы́цѣ мое́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, вѣ́дѧтъ всѝ і҆ꙋде́є,
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
4 Τὴν μὲν οὖν βίωσίν μου τὴν ἐκ νεότητος τὴν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς γενομένην ἐν τῷ ἔθνει μου ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἴσασι πάντες οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι,
5 вѣ́дѧще мѧ̀ и҆спе́рва, а҆́ще хотѧ́тъ свидѣ́тельствовати, ꙗ҆́кѡ по и҆звѣ́стнѣй є҆́реси на́шеѧ вѣ́ры жи́хъ фарїсе́й.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
5 προγινώσκοντές με ἄνωθεν, ἐὰν θέλωσι μαρτυρεῖν, ὅτι κατὰ τὴν ἀκριβεστάτην αἵρεσιν τῆς ἡμετέρας θρησκείας ἔζησα Φαρισαῖος.
6 И҆ нн҃ѣ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆пова́нїи ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ, бы́вшагѡ ѿ бг҃а ко ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ, стою̀ сꙋди́мь,
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
6 καὶ νῦν ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι τῆς πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίας γενομένης ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕστηκα κρινόμενος,
7 въ не́же ѻ҆бана́десѧте колѣ̑на на̑ша безпреста́ни де́нь и҆ но́щь слꙋжа́ще надѣ́ютсѧ доитѝ: ѡ҆ не́мже ᲂу҆пова́нїи ѡ҆клевета́емь є҆́смь, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
7 εἰς ἣν τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν ἐν ἐκτενείᾳ νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν λατρεῦον ἐλπίζει καταντῆσαι· περὶ ἧς ἐλπίδος ἐγκαλοῦμαι, βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, ὑπὸ [τῶν] Ἰουδαίων.
8 Что̀; Невѣ́рно ли сꙋ́дитсѧ ва́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ мє́ртвыѧ возставлѧ́етъ;
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
8 τί ἄπιστον κρίνεται παρ᾽ ὑμῖν εἰ ὁ Θεὸς νεκροὺς ἐγείρει;
9 А҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ мнѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ мѝ мнѡ́га сопроти̑вна проти́вꙋ и҆́мене і҆и҃са назѡре́а сотвори́ти:
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9 ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν ἔδοξα ἐμαυτῷ πρὸς τὸ ὄνομα Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου δεῖν πολλὰ ἐναντία πρᾶξαι·
10 є҆́же и҆ сотвори́хъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ мнѡ́ги ѿ ст҃ы́хъ а҆́зъ въ темни́цахъ затворѧ́хъ, вла́сть ѿ а҆рхїерє́й прїе́мь: ᲂу҆бива́ємымъ же и҆̀мъ прилага́хъ совѣ́тъ:
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
10 ὃ καὶ ἐποίησα ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις, καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν ἁγίων ἐγὼ ἐν φυλακαῖς κατέκλεισα τὴν παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων ἐξουσίαν λαβών, ἀναιρουμένων τε αὐτῶν κατήνεγκα ψῆφον,
11 и҆ на всѣ́хъ со́нмищихъ мно́жицею мꙋ́чѧ и҆̀хъ, принꙋжда́хъ хꙋ́лити: преизли́ха же враждꙋ́ѧ на ни́хъ, гонѧ́хъ да́же и҆ до внѣ́шнихъ градѡ́въ.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
11 καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς συναγωγὰς πολλάκις τιμωρῶν αὐτοὺς ἠνάγκαζον βλασφημεῖν, περισσῶς τε ἐμμαινόμενος αὐτοῖς ἐδίωκον ἕως καὶ εἰς τὰς ἔξω πόλεις.
12 Въ ни́хже и҆ды́й въ дама́скъ со вла́стїю и҆ повелѣ́нїемъ, є҆́же ѿ а҆рхїерє́й,
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
12 Ἐν οἷς [καὶ] πορευόμενος εἰς τὴν Δαμασκὸν μετ᾽ ἐξουσίας καὶ ἐπιτροπῆς τῆς παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων,
13 въ полꙋ́дни на пꙋтѝ ви́дѣхъ, царю̀, съ небесѐ па́че сїѧ́нїѧ со́лнечнагѡ ѡ҆сїѧ́вшїй мѧ̀ свѣ́тъ и҆ со мно́ю и҆дꙋ́щихъ.
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
13 ἡμέρας μέσης κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν εἶδον, βασιλεῦ, οὐρανόθεν ὑπὲρ τὴν λαμπρότητα τοῦ ἡλίου περιλάμψαν με φῶς καὶ τοὺς σὺν ἐμοὶ πορευομένους·
14 Всѣ̑мъ же па́дшымъ на́мъ на зе́млю, слы́шахъ гла́съ гл҃ющь ко мнѣ̀ и҆ вѣща́ющь є҆вре́йскимъ ѧ҆зы́комъ: са́ѵле, са́ѵле, что́ мѧ го́ниши; же́стоко тѝ є҆́сть проти́вꙋ рожна̀ пра́ти.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
14 πάντων δὲ καταπεσόντων ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἤκουσα φωνὴν λαλοῦσαν πρός με καὶ λέγουσαν τῇ Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ· Σαοὺλ Σαούλ, τί με διώκεις; σκληρόν σοι πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζειν.
15 А҆́зъ же рѣ́хъ: кто̀ є҆сѝ, гдⷭ҇и; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь і҆и҃съ, є҆го́же ты̀ го́ниши:
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
15 ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπον· τίς εἶ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὃν σὺ διώκεις.
16 но воста́ни и҆ ста́ни на ногꙋ̀ твоє́ю: на се́ бо ꙗ҆ви́хсѧ тѝ, сотвори́ти тѧ̀ слꙋгꙋ̀ и҆ свидѣ́телѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆влю̀ тебѣ̀,
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
16 ἀλλὰ ἀνάστηθι καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου· εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ὤφθην σοι, προχειρίσασθαί σε ὑπηρέτην καὶ μάρτυρα ὧν τε εἶδες ὧν τε ὀφθήσομαί σοι,
17 и҆з̾има́ѧ тѧ̀ ѿ люді́й і҆ꙋде́йскихъ и҆ ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, къ ни̑мже а҆́зъ тѧ̀ послю̀,
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
17 ἐξαιρούμενός σε ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, εἰς οὓς ἐγώ σε ἀποστέλλω
18 ѿве́рсти ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, да ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ ѿ тьмы̀ въ свѣ́тъ и҆ ѿ ѡ҆́бласти сатанины̀ къ бг҃ꙋ, є҆́же прїѧ́ти и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ и҆ достоѧ́нїе во ст҃ы́хъ вѣ́рою, ꙗ҆́же въ мѧ̀.
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
18 ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ἀπὸ σκότους εἰς φῶς καὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ σατανᾶ ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν, τοῦ λαβεῖν αὐτοὺς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν καὶ κλῆρον ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πίστει τῇ εἰς ἐμέ.
19 Тѣ́мже, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, не бы́хъ проти́венъ небе́сномꙋ видѣ́нїю,
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
19 Ὅθεν, βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, οὐκ ἐγενόμην ἀπειθὴς τῇ οὐρανίῳ ὀπτασίᾳ,
20 но сꙋ́щымъ въ дама́сцѣ пре́жде и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ во всѧ́цѣй странѣ̀ і҆ꙋде́йстей и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ проповѣ́дꙋю пока́ѧтисѧ и҆ ѡ҆брати́тисѧ къ бг҃ꙋ, достѡ́йна покаѧ́нїю дѣла̀ творѧ́ще.
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
20 ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἐν Δαμασκῷ πρῶτον καὶ Ἱεροσολύμοις, εἰς πᾶσάν τε τὴν χώραν τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγέλλω μετανοεῖν καὶ ἐπιστρέφειν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν, ἄξια τῆς μετανοίας ἔργα πράσσοντας.
21 Си́хъ ра́ди мѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́є є҆́мше во свѧти́лищи хотѧ́хꙋ растерза́ти.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
21 ἕνεκα τούτων με οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι συλλαβόμενοι ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐπειρῶντο διαχειρίσασθαι.
22 По́мощь ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆лꙋчи́въ ꙗ҆́же ѿ бг҃а, да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀ стою̀, свидѣ́тельствꙋѧ ма́лꙋ же и҆ вели́кꙋ, ничто́же вѣща́ѧ, ра́звѣ ꙗ҆̀же прⷪ҇ро́цы реко́ша хотѧ̑щаѧ бы́ти и҆ мѡѷсе́й,
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
22 ἐπικουρίας οὖν τυχὼν τῆς παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἕστηκα μαρτυρόμενος μικρῷ τε καὶ μεγάλῳ, οὐδὲν ἐκτὸς λέγων ὧν τε οἱ προφῆται ἐλάλησαν μελλόντων γενέσθαι καὶ Μωϋσῆς,
23 ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇то́съ и҆мѣ́ѧше пострада́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ пе́рвый ѿ воскрⷭ҇нїѧ ме́ртвыхъ свѣ́тъ хотѧ́ше проповѣ́дати лю́демъ (і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ) и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ.
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
23 εἰ παθητὸς ὁ Χριστός, εἰ πρῶτος ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν φῶς μέλλει καταγγέλλειν τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
24 Сїѧ̑ же є҆мꙋ̀ ѿвѣщава́ющꙋ, фи́стъ ве́лїимъ гла́сомъ речѐ: бѣснꙋ́ешисѧ ли, па́ѵле; мнѡ́гїѧ тѧ̀ кни̑ги въ неи́стовство прелага́ютъ.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
24 Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀπολογουμένου ὁ Φῆστος μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ ἔφη· μαίνῃ, Παῦλε· τὰ πολλά σε γράμματα εἰς μανίαν περιτρέπει.
25 Ѻ҆́нъ же: не бѣснꙋ́юсѧ, речѐ, держа́вный фи́сте, но и҆́стины и҆ цѣломⷣрїѧ глаго́лы вѣща́ю:
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
25 ὁ δέ, οὐ μαίνομαι, φησί, κράτιστε Φῆστε, ἀλλὰ ἀληθείας καὶ σωφροσύνης ῥήματα ἀποφθέγγομαι.
26 вѣ́сть бо ѡ҆ си́хъ ца́рь, къ немꙋ́же и҆ съ дерзнове́нїемъ глаго́лю: ᲂу҆таи́тисѧ бо є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ си́хъ не вѣ́рꙋю ничесомꙋ́же, нѣ́сть бо во ᲂу҆́глѣ сотворе́но сїѐ:
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
26 ἐπίσταται γὰρ περὶ τούτων ὁ βασιλεύς, πρὸς ὃν καὶ παρρησιαζόμενος λαλῶ· λανθάνειν γὰρ αὐτόν τι τούτων οὐ πείθομαι οὐδέν· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐν γωνίᾳ πεπραγμένον τοῦτο.
27 вѣ́рꙋеши ли, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, прⷪ҇ро́кѡмъ; вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́рꙋеши.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
27 πιστεύεις, βασιλεῦ Ἀγρίππα, τοῖς προφήταις; οἶδα ὅτι πιστεύεις.
28 А҆грі́ппа же къ па́ѵлꙋ речѐ: вма́лѣ мѧ̀ препира́еши хрⷭ҇тїа́нина бы́ти.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
28 ὁ δὲ Ἀγρίππας πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον ἔφη· ἐν ὀλίγῳ με πείθεις Χριστιανὸν γενέσθαι.
29 Па́ѵелъ же речѐ: моли́лъ ᲂу҆́бѡ бы́хъ бг҃а, и҆ вма́лѣ и҆ во мно́зѣ, не то́кмѡ тебѐ, но и҆ всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ мѧ̀ дне́сь, бы́ти и҆̀мъ та̑цѣмъ, ꙗ҆ко́въ и҆ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, кромѣ̀ ᲂу҆́зъ си́хъ.
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
29 ὁ δὲ Παῦλος εἶπεν· εὐξαίμην ἂν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ ἐν ὀλίγῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ οὐ μόνον σέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντάς μου σήμερον γενέσθαι τοιούτους ὁποῖος κἀγώ εἰμι, παρεκτὸς τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων.
30 И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́кшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, воста̀ ца́рь и҆ и҆ге́мѡнъ, и҆ вернїкі́а и҆ сѣдѧ́щїи съ ни́ми,
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
30 Καὶ ταῦτα εἰπόντος αὐτοῦ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἥ τε Βερνίκη καὶ οἱ συγκαθήμενοι αὐτοῖς,
31 и҆ ѿше́дше бесѣ́довахꙋ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ничто́же сме́рти досто́йно и҆лѝ ᲂу҆́зъ твори́тъ человѣ́къ се́й.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
31 καὶ ἀναχωρήσαντες ἐλάλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες ὅτι οὐδὲν θανάτου ἄξιον ἢ δεσμῶν πράσσει ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος.
32 А҆грі́ппа же фи́стꙋ речѐ: ѿпꙋще́нъ бы́ти можа́ше человѣ́къ се́й, а҆́ще не бы̀ ке́сарѧ нарица́лъ. И҆ та́кѡ сꙋдѝ и҆ге́мѡнъ посла́ти є҆го̀ къ ке́сарю.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
32 Ἀγρίππας δὲ τῷ Φήστῳ ἔφη· ἀπολελύσθαι ἐδύνατο ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος, εἰ μὴ ἐπεκέκλητο Καίσαρα.

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 again also they pass sentence in his favor, and after having said, "Thou art beside thyself," (v. 24) they acquit him, as undeserving not only of death, but also of bonds, and indeed would have released him entirely, if he had not appealed to Cæsar. But this was done providentially, that he should also depart with bonds.

… or else, if they do receive all these, they must necessarily admit also that testimony concerning Paul, when he (Luke) tells us that the Lord spoke at first to him from heaven: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? I am Jesus Christ, whom thou persecutest;" and then to Ananias, saying regarding him: "Go thy way; for he is a chosen …
