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 Глаго́лющымъ же и҆̀мъ къ лю́демъ, наидо́ша на ни́хъ свѧще́нницы и҆ воево́да церко́вный и҆ саддꙋке́є,
1 Λαλούντων δὲ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐπέστησαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ Σαδδουκαῖοι,
2 жа́лѧще сѝ, за є҆́же ᲂу҆чи́ти и҆̀мъ лю́ди и҆ возвѣща́ти ѡ҆ і҆и҃сѣ воскрⷭ҇нїе ме́ртвыхъ:
2 διαπονούμενοι διὰ τὸ διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς τὸν λαὸν καὶ καταγγέλλειν ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ τὴν ἀνάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν·
3 и҆ возложи́ша на ни́хъ рꙋ́ки и҆ положи́ша и҆̀хъ въ соблюде́нїе до ᲂу҆́трїѧ: бѣ́ бо ве́черъ ᲂу҆жѐ.
3 καὶ ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔθεντο εἰς τήρησιν εἰς τὴν αὔριον· ἦν γὰρ ἑσπέρα ἤδη.
4 Мно́зи же ѿ слы́шавшихъ сло́во вѣ́роваша: и҆ бы́сть число̀ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ ты́сѧщъ пѧ́ть.
4 πολλοὶ δὲ τῶν ἀκουσάντων τὸν λόγον ἐπίστευσαν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ὡσεὶ χιλιάδες πέντε.
5 Бы́сть же наꙋ́трїе собра́тисѧ кнѧзє́мъ и҆́хъ и҆ ста́рцємъ и҆ кни́жникѡмъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ,
5 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον συναχθῆναι αὐτῶν τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ γραμματεῖς εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,
6 и҆ а҆́ннѣ а҆рхїере́ю и҆ каїа́фѣ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннꙋ и҆ а҆леѯа́ндрꙋ, и҆ є҆ли́цы бѣ́ша ѿ ро́да а҆рхїере́йска:
6 καὶ Ἄνναν τὸν ἀρχιερέα καὶ Καϊάφαν καὶ Ἰωάννην καὶ Ἀλέξανδρον καὶ ὅσοι ἦσαν ἐκ γένους ἀρχιερατικοῦ,
7 и҆ поста́вльше и҆̀хъ посредѣ̀, вопроша́хꙋ: ко́ею си́лою и҆лѝ ко́имъ и҆́менемъ сотвори́сте сїѐ вы̀;
7 καὶ στήσαντες αὐτοὺς ἐν [τῷ] μέσῳ ἐπυνθάνοντο· ἐν ποίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ ἐν ποίῳ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε τοῦτο ὑμεῖς;
8 Тогда̀ пе́тръ, и҆спо́лнивсѧ дх҃а ст҃а, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кнѧ̑зи лю́дстїи и҆ ста́рцы і҆и҃лєвы,
8 τότε Πέτρος πλησθεὶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
9 а҆́ще мы̀ дне́сь и҆стѧзꙋ́еми є҆смы̀ ѡ҆ бл҃годѣѧ́нїи человѣ́ка не́мощна, ѡ҆ чесо́мъ се́й спасе́сѧ,
9 εἰ ἡμεῖς σήμερον ἀνακρινόμεθα ἐπὶ εὐεργεσίᾳ ἀνθρώπου ἀσθενοῦς, ἐν τίνι οὗτος σέσωσται,
10 разꙋ́мно бꙋ́ди всѣ̑мъ ва́мъ и҆ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ во и҆́мѧ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ назѡре́а, є҆го́же вы̀ распѧ́сте, є҆го́же бг҃ъ воскр҃сѝ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, ѡ҆ се́мъ се́й стои́тъ пред̾ ва́ми здра́въ:
10 γνωστὸν ἔστω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου, ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε, ὃν ὁ Θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐν τούτῳ οὗτος παρέστηκεν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ὑγιής.
11 се́й є҆́сть ка́мень ᲂу҆коре́ный ѿ ва́съ зи́ждꙋщихъ, бы́вый во главꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́гла, и҆ нѣ́сть ни ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ же и҆нѣ́мъ спⷭ҇нїѧ:
11 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐξουθενηθεὶς ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν τῶν οἰκοδομούντων, ὁ γενόμενος εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας.
12 нѣ́сть бо и҆но́гѡ и҆́мене под̾ небесе́мъ, да́ннагѡ въ человѣ́цѣхъ, ѡ҆ не́мже подоба́етъ спⷭ҇ти́сѧ на́мъ.
12 καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἄλλῳ οὐδενὶ ἡ σωτηρία· οὐδὲ γὰρ ὄνομά ἐστιν ἕτερον ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν τὸ δεδομένον ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἐν ᾧ δεῖ σωθῆναι ἡμᾶς.
13 Ви́дѧще же петро́во дерзнове́нїе и҆ і҆ѡа́нново и҆ разꙋмѣ́вше, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ̑ка некни̑жна є҆ста̀ и҆ прѡ́ста, дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ, зна́хꙋ же и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ со і҆и҃сомъ бѣ́ста:
13 Θεωροῦντες δὲ τὴν τοῦ Πέτρου παρρησίαν καὶ Ἰωάννου, καὶ καταλαβόμενοι ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀγράμματοί εἰσι καὶ ἰδιῶται, ἐθαύμαζον, ἐπεγίνωσκόν τε αὐτοὺς ὅτι σὺν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἦσαν,
14 ви́дѧще же и҆сцѣлѣ́вшаго человѣ́ка съ ни́ма стоѧ́ща, ничто́же и҆мѧ́хꙋ проти́вꙋ рещѝ.
14 τὸν δὲ ἄνθρωπον βλέποντες σὺν αὐτοῖς ἑστῶτα τὸν τεθεραπευμένον, οὐδὲν εἶχον ἀντειπεῖν.
15 Повелѣ́вше же и҆́ма во́нъ и҆з̾ со́нмища и҆зы́ти, стѧза́хꙋсѧ дрꙋ́гъ со дрꙋ́гомъ,
15 κελεύσαντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω τοῦ συνεδρίου ἀπελθεῖν, συνέβαλλον πρὸς ἀλλήλους
16 глаго́люще: что̀ сотвори́мъ человѣ́кома си́ма; ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́бѡ наро́читое зна́менїе бы́сть и҆́ма, всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ ꙗ҆́вѣ, и҆ не мо́жемъ ѿврещи́сѧ:
16 λέγοντες· τί ποιήσομεν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις; ὅτι μὲν γὰρ γνωστὸν σημεῖον γέγονε δι᾽ αὐτῶν, πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ φανερόν, καὶ οὐ δυνάμεθα ἀρνήσασθαι·
17 но да не бо́лѣе простре́тсѧ въ лю́дехъ, преще́нїемъ да запрети́мъ и҆́ма ктомꙋ̀ не глаго́лати ѡ҆ и҆́мени се́мъ ни є҆ди́номꙋ ѿ человѣ́къ.
17 ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα μὴ ἐπὶ πλεῖον διανεμηθῇ εἰς τὸν λαόν, ἀπειλῇ ἀπειλησώμεθα αὐτοῖς μηκέτι λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ μηδενὶ ἀνθρώπων.
18 И҆ призва́вше и҆̀хъ, заповѣ́даша и҆́ма ѿню́дъ не провѣщава́ти нижѐ ᲂу҆чи́ти ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃совѣ.
18 καὶ καλέσαντες αὐτοὺς παρήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς τὸ καθόλου μὴ φθέγγεσθαι μηδὲ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
19 Пе́тръ же и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ ѿвѣща̑вша къ ни̑мъ рѣ́ста: а҆́ще првⷣно є҆́сть пред̾ бг҃омъ ва́съ послꙋ́шати па́че, не́жели бг҃а, сꙋди́те:
19 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀποκριθέντες πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπον· εἰ δίκαιόν ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἀκούειν μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦ Θεοῦ, κρίνατε.
20 не мо́жемъ бо мы̀, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣхомъ и҆ слы́шахомъ, не глаго́лати.
20 οὐ δυνάμεθα γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἃ εἴδομεν καὶ ἠκούσαμεν μὴ λαλεῖν.
21 Ѻ҆ни́ же призапре́щше и҆́ма, пꙋсти́ша ѧ҆̀, ничто́же ѡ҆брѣ́тше ка́кѡ мꙋ́чити и҆̀хъ, люді́й ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ прославлѧ́хꙋ бг҃а ѡ҆ бы́вшемъ:
21 οἱ δὲ προσαπειλησάμενοι ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς, μηδὲν εὑρίσκοντες τὸ πῶς κολάσονται αὐτούς, διὰ τὸν λαόν, ὅτι πάντες ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεὸν ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονότι·
22 лѣ́тъ бо бѧ́ше мно́жае четы́редесѧти человѣ́къ то́й, на не́мже бы́сть чꙋ́до сїѐ и҆сцѣле́нїѧ.
22 ἐτῶν γὰρ ἦν πλειόνων τεσσαράκοντα ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐφ᾽ ὃν ἐγεγόνει τὸ σημεῖον τοῦτο τῆς ἰάσεως.
23 Ѿпꙋщє́на же бы̑вша прїидо́ста ко свои̑мъ и҆ возвѣсти́ста, є҆ли̑ка къ ни́ма а҆рхїере́є и҆ ста́рцы рѣ́ша.
23 Ἀπολυθέντες δὲ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἰδίους καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ὅσα πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἶπον.
24 Ѻ҆ни́ же слы́шавше є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ воздвиго́ша гла́съ къ бг҃ꙋ и҆ реко́ша: влⷣко, ты̀, бж҃е, сотвори́вый не́бо и҆ зе́млю и҆ мо́ре и҆ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же въ ни́хъ,
24 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἦραν φωνὴν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ εἶπον· Δέσποτα, σὺ ὁ ποιήσας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς,
25 и҆́же дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ ᲂу҆сты̑ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ дв҃да ѻ҆́трока твоегѡ̀ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: вскꙋ́ю шата́шасѧ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ лю́дїе поꙋчи́шасѧ тщє́тнымъ;
25 ὁ διὰ στόματος Δαυῒδ παιδός σου εἰπών· ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
26 предста́ша ца́рїе зе́мстїи, и҆ кнѧ̑зи собра́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ на гдⷭ҇а и҆ на хрⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀.
26 παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.
27 Собра́шасѧ бо вои́стиннꙋ во гра́дѣ се́мъ на ст҃а́го ѻ҆́трока твоего̀ і҆и҃са, є҆го́же пома́залъ є҆сѝ, и҆́рѡдъ же и҆ понті́йскїй пїла́тъ съ ꙗ҆зы̑ки и҆ людьмѝ і҆и҃левыми,
27 συνήχθησαν γὰρ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον παῖδά σου Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ἔχρισας, Ἡρῴδης τε καὶ Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος σὺν ἔθνεσι καὶ λαοῖς Ἰσραήλ,
28 сотвори́ти, є҆ли̑ка рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ и҆ совѣ́тъ тво́й преднаречѐ бы́ти:
28 ποιῆσαι ὅσα ἡ χείρ σου καὶ ἡ βουλή σου προώρισε γενέσθαι·
29 и҆ нн҃ѣ, гдⷭ҇и, при́зри на прещє́нїѧ и҆́хъ и҆ да́ждь рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ со всѧ́кимъ дерзнове́нїемъ глаго́лати сло́во твоѐ,
29 καὶ τὰ νῦν, Κύριε, ἔπιδε ἐπὶ τὰς ἀπειλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ δὸς τοῖς δούλοις σου μετὰ παρρησίας πάσης λαλεῖν τὸν λόγον σου
30 внегда̀ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ простре́ти тѝ во и҆сцѣлє́нїѧ, и҆ зна́менїємъ и҆ чꙋдесє́мъ быва́ти и҆́менемъ ст҃ы́мъ ѻ҆́трока твоегѡ̀ і҆и҃са.
30 ἐν τῷ τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐκτείνειν σε εἰς ἴασιν καὶ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα γίνεσθαι διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ ἁγίου παιδός σου Ἰησοῦ.
31 И҆ помоли́вшымсѧ и҆̀мъ, подви́жесѧ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ со́брани, и҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ дх҃а ст҃а и҆ глаго́лахꙋ сло́во бж҃їе со дерзнове́нїемъ.
31 καὶ δεηθέντων αὐτῶν ἐσαλεύθη ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν συνηγμένοι, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἐλάλουν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρρησίας.
32 Наро́дꙋ же вѣ́ровавшемꙋ бѣ̀ се́рдце и҆ дꙋша̀ є҆ди́на, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же что̀ ѿ и҆мѣ́нїй свои́хъ глаго́лаше своѐ бы́ти, но бѧ́хꙋ и҆̀мъ всѧ̑ ѡ҆́бща.
32 Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων ἦν ἡ καρδία καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ μία, καὶ οὐδὲ εἷς τι τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ ἔλεγεν ἴδιον εἶναι, ἀλλ᾽ ἦν αὐτοῖς ἅπαντα κοινά.
33 И҆ ве́лїею си́лою воздаѧ́хꙋ свидѣ́тельство а҆пⷭ҇ли воскрⷭ҇нїю гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, блгⷣть же бѣ̀ ве́лїѧ на всѣ́хъ и҆́хъ.
33 καὶ μεγάλῃ δυνάμει ἀπεδίδουν τὸ μαρτύριον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, χάρις τε μεγάλη ἦν ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς.
34 Не бѧ́ше бо ни́щь ни є҆ди́нъ въ ни́хъ: є҆ли́цы бо госпо́дїе се́лѡмъ и҆лѝ домовѡ́мъ бѧ́хꙋ, продаю́ще приноша́хꙋ цѣ́ны продае́мыхъ
34 οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ὅσοι γὰρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἢ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον, πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πιπρασκομένων
35 и҆ полага́хꙋ при нога́хъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ: даѧ́шесѧ же коемꙋ́ждо, є҆гѡ́же а҆́ще кто̀ тре́боваше.

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).
Ere yet they had time to take breath after their first trials, straightway they enter into others. And observe how the events are disposed. First, they were all mocked together; this was no small trial: secondly, they enter into dangers.

… that the promise which God made to the fathers had been fulfilled by Jesus; not certainly proclaiming another god, but the Son of God, who also was made man, and suffered; thus leading Israel into knowledge, and through Jesus preaching the resurrection of the dead, and showing, that whatever the prophets had proclaimed as to the suffering of Christ, these …

And thus, as they captured in the spiritual net of their doctrine five thousand believers at once, so they confuted the misguided rulers of the people and chief priests, and that, not through their own wisdom, for they were unlearned and ignorant men, but through the mighty power of the Holy Ghost; for it is written, Then Peter filled …
