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 Сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да не соблазните́сѧ.
1 Ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα μὴ σκανδαλισθῆτε.
2 Ѿ со́нмищъ и҆жденꙋ́тъ вы̀: но прїи́детъ ча́съ, да всѧ́къ, и҆́же ᲂу҆бїе́тъ вы̀, возмни́тсѧ слꙋ́жбꙋ приноси́ти бг҃ꙋ:
2 ἀποσυναγώγους ποιήσουσιν ὑμᾶς· ἀλλ᾽ ἔρχεται ὥρα ἵνα πᾶς ὁ ἀποκτείνας ὑμᾶς δόξῃ λατρείαν προσφέρειν τῷ Θεῷ.
3 и҆ сїѧ̑ сотворѧ́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не позна́ша ѻ҆ц҃а̀, ни менє̀.
3 καὶ ταῦτα ποιήσουσιν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὸν πατέρα οὐδὲ ἐμέ.
4 Но сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ча́съ, воспомѧ́нете сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ рѣ́хъ ва́мъ: си́хъ же ва́мъ и҆спе́рва не рѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ съ ва́ми бѣ́хъ.
4 ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἡ ὥρα, μνημονεύητε αὐτῶν ὅτι ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν. ταῦτα δὲ ὑμῖν ἐξ ἀρχῆς οὐκ εἶπον, ὅτι μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἤμην.
5 Нн҃ѣ же и҆дꙋ̀ къ посла́вшемꙋ мѧ̀, и҆ никто́же ѿ ва́съ вопроша́етъ менѐ: ка́мѡ и҆́деши;
5 νῦν δὲ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐρωτᾷ με ποῦ ὑπάγεις!
6 Но ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, ско́рби и҆спо́лнихъ сердца̀ ва̑ша.
6 ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν, ἡ λύπη πεπλήρωκεν ὑμῶν τὴν καρδίαν.
7 Но а҆́зъ и҆́стинꙋ ва́мъ гл҃ю: ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть ва́мъ, да а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀: а҆́ще бо не и҆дꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, ᲂу҆тѣ́шитель не прїи́детъ къ ва́мъ: а҆́ще (ли) же и҆дꙋ̀, послю̀ є҆го̀ къ ва́мъ,
7 ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω ὑμῖν· συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα ἐγὼ ἀπέλθω. ἐὰν γὰρ ἐγὼ μὴ ἀπέλθω, ὁ παράκλητος οὐκ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς ὑμᾶς· ἐὰν δὲ πορευθῶ, πέμψω αὐτὸν πρὸς ὑμᾶς·
8 и҆ прише́дъ ѻ҆́нъ ѡ҆бличи́тъ мі́ръ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ пра́вдѣ и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ̀:
8 καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐκεῖνος ἐλέγξει τὸν κόσμον περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ περὶ κρίσεως.
9 ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не вѣ́рꙋютъ въ мѧ̀:
9 περὶ ἁμαρτίας μέν, ὅτι οὐ πιστεύουσιν εἰς ἐμέ·
10 ѡ҆ пра́вдѣ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ и҆дꙋ̀, и҆ ктомꙋ̀ не ви́дите менє̀:
10 περὶ δικαιοσύνης δέ, ὅτι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου ὑπάγω καὶ οὐκέτι θεωρεῖτέ με·
11 ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ́ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ кнѧ́зь мі́ра сегѡ̀ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нъ бы́сть.
11 περὶ δὲ κρίσεως, ὅτι ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κέκριται.
12 Є҆щѐ мно́гѡ и҆́мамъ гл҃ати ва́мъ, но не мо́жете носи́ти нн҃ѣ:
12 Ἔτι πολλὰ ἔχω λέγειν ὑμῖν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ δύνασθε βαστάζειν ἄρτι.
13 є҆гда́ же прїи́детъ ѻ҆́нъ, дх҃ъ и҆́стины, наста́витъ вы̀ на всѧ́кꙋ и҆́стинꙋ: не ѿ себє́ бо гл҃ати и҆́мать, но є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, гл҃ати и҆́мать, и҆ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ:
13 ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας, ὁδηγήσει ὑμᾶς εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν· οὐ γὰρ λαλήσει ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ὅσα ἂν ἀκούσῃ λαλήσει, καὶ τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν.
14 ѻ҆́нъ мѧ̀ просла́витъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ моегѡ̀ прїи́метъ и҆ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ.
14 ἐκεῖνος ἐμὲ δοξάσει, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λήψεται καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν.
15 Всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́мать ѻ҆ц҃ъ, моѧ̑ сꙋ́ть: сегѡ̀ ра́ди рѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ моегѡ̀ прїи́метъ и҆ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ.
15 πάντα ὅσα ἔχει ὁ πατὴρ ἐμά ἐστι· διὰ τοῦτο εἶπον ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λήψεται καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν.
16 Вма́лѣ, и҆ (ктомꙋ̀) не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀.
16 μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με, καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με, ὅτι ἐγὼ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα.
17 Рѣ́ша же ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀ къ себѣ̀: что̀ є҆́сть сїѐ, є҆́же гл҃етъ на́мъ: вма́лѣ, и҆ не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀: и҆: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀;
17 Εἶπον οὖν ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀλλήλους· τί ἐστι τοῦτο ὃ λέγει ἡμῖν, μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με, καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με, καὶ ὅτι ἐγὼ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα;
18 Глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо: что̀ сїѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же гл҃етъ: вма́лѣ; не вѣ́мы, что̀ гл҃етъ.
18 ἔλεγον οὖν· τοῦτο τί ἐστιν ὃ λέγει τὸ μικρόν; οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί λαλεῖ.
19 Разꙋмѣ́ же і҆и҃съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хотѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀ вопроша́ти, и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ѡ҆ се́мъ ли стѧза́етесѧ междꙋ̀ собо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ рѣ́хъ: вма́лѣ, и҆ не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀;
19 ἔγνω οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤθελον αὐτὸν ἐρωτᾶν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· περὶ τούτου ζητεῖτε μετ᾽ ἀλλήλων ὅτι εἶπον, μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με, καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με;
20 а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспла́четесѧ и҆ возрыда́ете вы̀, а҆ мі́ръ возра́дꙋетсѧ: вы́ же печа́льни бꙋ́дете, но печа́ль ва́ша въ ра́дость бꙋ́детъ:
20 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι κλαύσετε καὶ θρηνήσετε ὑμεῖς, ὁ δὲ κόσμος χαρήσεται· ὑμεῖς δὲ λυπηθήσεσθε, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ λύπη ὑμῶν εἰς χαρὰν γενήσεται·
21 жена̀ є҆гда̀ ражда́етъ, ско́рбь и҆́мать, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де го́дъ є҆ѧ̀: є҆гда́ же роди́тъ ѻ҆троча̀, ктомꙋ̀ не по́мнитъ ско́рби за ра́дость, ꙗ҆́кѡ роди́сѧ человѣ́къ въ мі́ръ:
21 ἡ γυνὴ ὅταν τίκτῃ, λύπην ἔχει, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα αὐτῆς· ὅταν δὲ γεννήσῃ τὸ παιδίον, οὐκέτι μνημονεύει τῆς θλίψεως διὰ τὴν χαρὰν ὅτι ἐγεννήθη ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
22 и҆ вы́ же печа́ль и҆́мате ᲂу҆́бѡ нн҃ѣ: па́ки же ᲂу҆зрю́ вы, и҆ возра́дꙋетсѧ се́рдце ва́ше, и҆ ра́дости ва́шеѧ никто́же во́зметъ ѿ ва́съ:
22 καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν λύπην μὲν νῦν ἔχετε· πάλιν δὲ ὄψομαι ὑμᾶς καὶ χαρήσεται ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία, καὶ τὴν χαρὰν ὑμῶν οὐδεὶς αἴρει ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν.
23 и҆ въ то́й де́нь менѐ не воспро́сите ничесѡ́же. А҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще (чесѡ̀) про́сите ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, да́стъ ва́мъ:
23 καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐμὲ οὐκ ἐρωτήσετε οὐδέν· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσητε τὸν πατέρα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, δώσει ὑμῖν.
24 досе́лѣ не проси́сте ничесѡ́же во и҆́мѧ моѐ: проси́те, и҆ прїи́мете, да ра́дость ва́ша и҆спо́лнена бꙋ́детъ.
24 ἕως ἄρτι οὐκ ᾐτήσατε οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου· αἰτεῖτε καὶ λήψεσθε, ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ὑμῶν ᾖ πεπληρωμένη.
25 Сїѧ̑ въ при́тчахъ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ: но прїи́детъ ча́съ, є҆гда̀ ктомꙋ̀ въ при́тчахъ не гл҃ю ва́мъ, но ꙗ҆́вѣ ѡ҆ ѻ҆ц҃ѣ̀ возвѣщꙋ̀ ва́мъ.
25 Ταῦτα ἐν παροιμίαις λελάληκα ὑμῖν· ἀλλ᾽ ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὐκέτι ἐν παροιμίαις λαλήσω ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ παρρησίᾳ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν.
26 Въ то́й де́нь во и҆́мѧ моѐ воспро́сите, и҆ не гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆молю̀ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ:
26 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου αἰτήσεσθε· καὶ οὐ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐρωτήσω τὸν πατέρα περὶ ὑμῶν·
27 са́мъ бо ѻ҆ц҃ъ лю́битъ вы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вы̀ менѐ возлюби́сте и҆ вѣ́ровасте, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ѿ бг҃а и҆зыдо́хъ.
27 αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ φιλεῖ ὑμᾶς, ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐμὲ πεφιλήκατε, καὶ πεπιστεύκατε ὅτι ἐγὼ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον.
28 И҆зыдо́хъ ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ прїидо́хъ въ мі́ръ: (и҆) па́ки ѡ҆ставлѧ́ю мі́ръ и҆ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀.
28 ἐξῆλθον παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον· πάλιν ἀφίημι τὸν κόσμον καὶ πορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα.
29 Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: сѐ, нн҃ѣ не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ гл҃еши, а҆ при́тчи никоеѧ́же не гл҃еши:
29 Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· ἴδε νῦν παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖς, καὶ παροιμίαν οὐδεμίαν λέγεις.
30 нн҃ѣ вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́си всѧ̑ и҆ не тре́бꙋеши, да кто̀ тѧ̀ вопроша́етъ: ѡ҆ се́мъ вѣ́рꙋемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ бг҃а и҆зше́лъ є҆сѝ.
30 νῦν οἴδαμεν ὅτι οἶδας πάντα καὶ οὐ χρείαν ἔχεις ἵνα τίς σε ἐρωτᾷ. ἐν τούτῳ πιστεύομεν ὅτι ἀπὸ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθες.
31 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: нн҃ѣ ли вѣ́рꙋете;
31 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄρτι πιστεύετε·
32 сѐ, грѧде́тъ ча́съ, и҆ нн҃ѣ прїи́де, да разы́детесѧ кі́йждо во своѧ̑ и҆ менѐ є҆ди́наго ѡ҆ста́вите: и҆ нѣ́смь є҆ди́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ со мно́ю є҆́сть:
32 ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐλήλυθεν, ἵνα σκορπισθῆτε ἕκαστος εἰς τὰ ἴδια καὶ ἐμὲ μόνον ἀφῆτε· καὶ οὐκ εἰμὶ μόνος, ὅτι ὁ πατὴρ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστι.
33 сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да во мнѣ̀ ми́ръ и҆́мате: въ мі́рѣ ско́рбни бꙋ́дете: но дерза́йте, (ꙗ҆́кѡ) а҆́зъ побѣди́хъ мі́ръ.
33 ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ εἰρήνην ἔχητε. ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ θλῖψιν ἕξετε· ἀλλὰ θαρσεῖτε, ἐγὼ νενίκηκα τὸν κόσμον.

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).
The medicine for all the wounds of the soul, and the one propitiation for the offences of men, is to believe on Christ; nor can any one be cleansed at all, whether from original sin which he derived from Adam, in whom all men have sinned, and become by nature children of wrath; or from the sins which they have …

When the Lord Jesus had foretold His disciples the persecutions they would have to suffer after His departure, He went on to say: "And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you; but now I go my way to Him that sent me." And here the first thing we have to look at …

Great is the tyranny of despondency, and much courage do we need so as to stand manfully against the feeling, and after gathering from it what is useful, to let the superfluous go.

… under their feet, and turn again and rend you." For the Lord Himself, although He never told a lie, yet showed that He was concealing certain truths, when He said, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." And the Apostle Paul, too, says: "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as …

For, saith He, "In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;" and, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread;" and, "In the world ye shall have tribulation." But of our state there, no such word at all is spoken, but all the contrary; that "grief and sorrow and sighing have fled away." And that "men shall come …
