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 И҆ є҆гда̀ скончава́шасѧ дні́е пѧтьдесѧ́тницы, бѣ́ша всѝ а҆пⷭ҇ли є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ вкꙋ́пѣ.
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 И҆ бы́сть внеза́пꙋ съ небесѐ шꙋ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ носи́мꙋ дыха́нїю бꙋ́рнꙋ, и҆ и҆спо́лни ве́сь до́мъ, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ сѣдѧ́ще:
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 и҆ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ и҆̀мъ раздѣле́ни ѧ҆зы́цы ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гненни, сѣ́де же на є҆ди́нѣмъ ко́емждо и҆́хъ.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ дх҃а ст҃а и҆ нача́ша глаго́лати и҆ны́ми ѧ҆зы́ки, ꙗ҆́коже дх҃ъ даѧ́ше и҆̀мъ провѣщава́ти.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5 Бѧ́хꙋ же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ живꙋ́щїи і҆ꙋде́є, мꙋ́жїе благоговѣ́йнїи, ѿ всегѡ̀ ꙗ҆зы́ка, и҆́же под̾ небесе́мъ.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6 Бы́вшꙋ же гла́сꙋ семꙋ̀, сни́десѧ наро́дъ и҆ смѧте́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́шахꙋ є҆ди́нъ кі́йждо и҆́хъ свои́мъ ѧ҆зы́комъ глаго́лющихъ и҆̀хъ.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ же всѝ и҆ чꙋдѧ́хꙋсѧ, глаго́люще дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ: не се́ ли, всѝ сі́и сꙋ́ть глаго́лющїи галїле́ане;
7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8 и҆ ка́кѡ мы̀ слы́шимъ кі́йждо сво́й ѧ҆зы́къ на́шъ, въ не́мже роди́хомсѧ,
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 па́рѳѧне и҆ ми́дѧне и҆ є҆ламі́тє, и҆ живꙋ́щїи въ месопота́мїи, во і҆ꙋде́и же и҆ каппадокі́и, въ по́нтѣ и҆ во а҆сі́и,
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 во фрѷгі́и же и҆ памфѷлі́и, во є҆гѵ́птѣ и҆ страна́хъ лївѵ́и, ꙗ҆́же при кѷрині́и, и҆ приходѧ́щїи ри́млѧне, і҆ꙋде́є же и҆ прише́льцы,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 кри́тѧне и҆ а҆ра́влѧне, слы́шимъ глаго́лющихъ и҆̀хъ на́шими ѧ҆зы̑ки вели̑чїѧ бж҃їѧ;
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12 Оу҆жаса́хꙋсѧ же всѝ и҆ недоꙋмѣва́хꙋсѧ, дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ глаго́люще: что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ хо́щетъ сїѐ бы́ти;
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 И҆ні́и же рꙋга́ющесѧ глаго́лахꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вїно́мъ и҆спо́лнени сꙋ́ть.
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 Ста́въ же пе́тръ со є҆динона́десѧтьми, воздви́же гла́съ сво́й и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: мꙋ́жїе і҆ꙋде́йстїи и҆ живꙋ́щїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ всѝ, сїѐ ва́мъ разꙋ́мно да бꙋ́детъ, и҆ внꙋши́те глаго́лы моѧ̑:
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 не бо̀, ꙗ҆́коже вы̀ непщꙋ́ете, сі́и пїѧ́ни сꙋ́ть, є҆́сть бо ча́съ тре́тїй днѐ:
15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
16 но сїѐ є҆́сть рече́нное прⷪ҇ро́комъ і҆ѡи́лемъ:
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 и҆ бꙋ́детъ въ послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆злїю̀ ѿ дх҃а моегѡ̀ на всѧ́кꙋ пло́ть, и҆ прорекꙋ́тъ сы́нове ва́ши и҆ дщє́ри ва́шѧ, и҆ ю҆́нѡши ва́ши видѣ̑нїѧ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ, и҆ ста́рцы ва́ши сѡ́нїѧ ви́дѧтъ:
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
18 и҆́бо на рабы̑ моѧ̑ и҆ на рабы̑ни моѧ̑ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны и҆злїю̀ ѿ дх҃а моегѡ̀, и҆ прорекꙋ́тъ:
18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 и҆ да́мъ чꙋдеса̀ на небесѝ горѣ̀ и҆ зна́мєнїѧ на землѝ ни́зꙋ, кро́вь и҆ ѻ҆́гнь и҆ кꙋре́нїе ды́ма:
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 со́лнце преложи́тсѧ во тьмꙋ̀, и҆ лꙋна̀ въ кро́вь, пре́жде да́же не прїитѝ дню̀ гдⷭ҇ню вели́комꙋ и҆ просвѣще́нномꙋ:
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 и҆ бꙋ́детъ, всѧ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще призове́тъ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, сп҃се́тсѧ.
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 Мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льстїи, послꙋ́шайте слове́съ си́хъ: і҆и҃са назѡре́а, мꙋ́жа ѿ бг҃а и҆звѣ́ствованна въ ва́съ си́лами и҆ чꙋдесы̀ и҆ зна́мєнїи, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ тѣ́мъ бг҃ъ посредѣ̀ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ са́ми вѣ́сте,
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
23 сего̀ нарекова́ннымъ совѣ́томъ и҆ проразꙋмѣ́нїемъ бж҃їимъ пре́дана прїе́мше, рꙋка́ми беззако́нныхъ пригво́ждше ᲂу҆би́сте:
23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24 є҆го́же бг҃ъ воскр҃сѝ, разрѣши́въ бѡлѣ́зни смє́ртныѧ, ꙗ҆́коже не бѧ́ше мо́щно держи́мꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ неѧ̀.
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25 Дв҃дъ бо глаго́летъ ѡ҆ не́мъ: предзрѣ́хъ гдⷭ҇а предо мно́ю вы́нꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю менє̀ є҆́сть, да не подви́жꙋсѧ:
25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 сегѡ̀ ра́ди возвесели́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, и҆ возра́довасѧ ѧ҆зы́къ мо́й: є҆ще́ же и҆ пло́ть моѧ̀ всели́тсѧ на ᲂу҆пова́нїи,
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ста́виши дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀ во а҆́дѣ, нижѐ да́си прпⷣбномꙋ твоемꙋ̀ ви́дѣти и҆стлѣ́нїѧ:
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28 сказа́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ пꙋти̑ живота̀: и҆спо́лниши мѧ̀ весе́лїѧ съ лице́мъ твои́мъ.
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 Мꙋ́жїе бра́тїе, досто́итъ рещѝ съ дерзнове́нїемъ къ ва́мъ ѡ҆ патрїа́рсѣ дв҃дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ ᲂу҆́мре и҆ погребе́нъ бы́сть, и҆ гро́бъ є҆гѡ̀ є҆́сть въ на́съ да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀:
29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 прⷪ҇ро́къ ᲂу҆̀бо сы́й и҆ вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆́кѡ клѧ́твою клѧ́тсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ ѿ плода̀ чре́слъ є҆гѡ̀ по пл҃ти воздви́гнꙋти хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆ посади́ти є҆го̀ на престо́лѣ є҆гѡ̀,
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 предви́дѣвъ глаго́ла ѡ҆ воскрⷭ҇нїи хрⷭ҇то́вѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ста́висѧ дш҃а̀ є҆гѡ̀ во а҆́дѣ, ни пл҃ть є҆гѡ̀ ви́дѣ и҆стлѣ́нїѧ.
31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.
32 Сего̀ і҆и҃са воскр҃сѝ бг҃ъ, є҆мꙋ́же всѝ мы̀ є҆смы̀ свидѣ́телїе.
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Десни́цею ᲂу҆̀бо бж҃їею вознесе́сѧ, и҆ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а прїе́мь ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, и҆злїѧ̀ сїѐ, є҆́же вы̀ нн҃ѣ ви́дите и҆ слы́шите.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 Не бо̀ дв҃дъ взы́де на нб҃са̀, глаго́летъ бо са́мъ: речѐ гдⷭ҇ь гдⷭ҇еви моемꙋ̀: сѣдѝ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю менє̀,
34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
35 до́ндеже положꙋ̀ врагѝ твоѧ̑ подно́жїе но́гъ твои́хъ.
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36 Тве́рдѡ ᲂу҆̀бо да разꙋмѣ́етъ ве́сь до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ гдⷭ҇а и҆ хрⷭ҇та̀ є҆го̀ бг҃ъ сотвори́лъ є҆́сть, сего̀ і҆и҃са, є҆го́же вы̀ распѧ́сте.
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Слы́шавше же ᲂу҆мили́шасѧ се́рдцемъ и҆ рѣ́ша къ петрꙋ̀ и҆ про́чымъ а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ: что̀ сотвори́мъ, мꙋ́жїе бра́тїе;
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Пе́тръ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ: пока́йтесѧ, и҆ да крести́тсѧ кі́йждо ва́съ во и҆́мѧ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ во ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ: и҆ прїи́мете да́ръ ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а:
38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 ва́мъ бо є҆́сть ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе и҆ ча́дѡмъ ва́шымъ и҆ всѣ̑мъ да̑льнимъ, є҆ли̑ки а҆́ще призове́тъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
40 И҆ и҆ны́ми словесы̀ мно́жайшими засвидѣ́тельствоваше и҆ молѧ́ше ѧ҆̀, глаго́лѧ: спаси́тесѧ ѿ ро́да стропти́вагѡ сегѡ̀.
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 И҆̀же ᲂу҆̀бо любе́знѡ прїѧ́ша сло́во є҆гѡ̀, крести́шасѧ: и҆ приложи́шасѧ въ де́нь то́й дꙋ́шъ ꙗ҆́кѡ трѝ ты́сѧщы:
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 бѧ́хꙋ же терпѧ́ще во ᲂу҆че́нїи а҆пⷭ҇лъ и҆ во ѻ҆бще́нїи и҆ въ преломле́нїи хлѣ́ба и҆ въ моли́твахъ.
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Бы́сть же на всѧ́кой дꙋшѝ стра́хъ: мнѡ́га бо чꙋдеса̀ и҆ зна́мєнїѧ а҆пⷭ҇лы бы́ша во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Стра́хъ же ве́лїй бѧ́ше на всѣ́хъ и҆́хъ. Вси́ же вѣ́ровавшїи бѧ́хꙋ вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ и҆мѧ́хꙋ всѧ̑ ѡ҆́бща:
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 и҆ стѧжа̑нїѧ и҆ и҆мѣ́нїѧ продаѧ́хꙋ, и҆ раздаѧ́хꙋ всѣ̑мъ, є҆гѡ́же а҆́ще кто̀ тре́боваше:
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 по всѧ̑ же дни̑ терпѧ́ще є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ въ це́ркви и҆ ломѧ́ще по домѡ́мъ хлѣ́бъ, прїима́хꙋ пи́щꙋ въ ра́дости и҆ въ простотѣ̀ се́рдца,
46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 хва́лѧще бг҃а и҆ и҆мꙋ́ще благода́ть ᲂу҆ всѣ́хъ люді́й. Гдⷭ҇ь же прилага́ше по всѧ̑ дни̑ цр҃кви сп҃са́ющыѧсѧ.
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

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).
Dost thou perceive the type? What is this Pentecost? The time when the sickle was to be put to the harvest, and the ingathering was made. See now the reality, when the time was come to put in the sickle of the word: for here, as the sickle, keen-edged, came the Spirit down.

… of your faith, spoken of in days long gone by, endureth even until now, and bringeth forth fruit to our Lord Jesus Christ, who for our sins suffered even unto death, [but] "whom God raised from the dead, having loosed the bands of the grave." "In whom, though now ye see Him not, ye believe, and believing, rejoice with joy …
… my right hand, lest I should be moved: therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also, my flesh shall rest in hope: because Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt Thou give Thy Holy One to see corruption." Then he proceeds to speak confidently to them concerning the patriarch David, that he was …
… were) saying, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven." There came suddenly a sound from heaven, as it had been the rushing of a mighty wind, and there appeared cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And there were made lights in the firmament of heaven, having the word of life.
