Стоѧ́ше же и҆ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆́же предаѧ́ше є҆го̀, съ ни́ми. 6 Є҆гда́ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆до́ша вспѧ́ть и҆ падо́ша на землѝ. 7 Па́ки ᲂу҆̀бо вопросѝ и҆̀хъ (і҆и҃съ): когѡ̀ и҆́щете; Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: і҆и҃са назѡре́а. 8 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: рѣ́хъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо менє̀ и҆́щете, ѡ҆ста́вите си́хъ и҆тѝ: 9 да сбꙋ́детсѧ сло́во, є҆́же речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, не погꙋби́хъ ѿ ни́хъ никогѡ́же. 10 Сі́мѡнъ же пе́тръ, и҆мы́й но́жъ, и҆звлечѐ є҆го̀ и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри а҆рхїере́ова раба̀ и҆ ᲂу҆рѣ́за є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́хо десно́е: бѣ́ же и҆́мѧ рабꙋ̀ ма́лхъ. 11 Речѐ ᲂу҆̀бо і҆и҃съ петро́ви, вонзѝ но́жъ въ но́жницꙋ: ча́шꙋ, ю҆́же дадѐ мнѣ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ, не и҆́мамъ ли пи́ти є҆ѧ̀; 12 Спі́ра же и҆ ты́сѧщникъ и҆ слꙋги̑ і҆ꙋде́йстїи ꙗ҆́ша і҆и҃са и҆ свѧза́ша є҆го̀, 13 и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ ко а҆́ннѣ пе́рвѣе: бѣ́ бо те́сть каїа́фѣ, и҆́же бѣ̀ а҆рхїере́й лѣ́тꙋ томꙋ̀: 14 бѣ́ же каїа́фа да́вый совѣ́тъ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть є҆ди́номꙋ человѣ́кꙋ ᲂу҆мре́ти за лю́ди. 15 По і҆и҃сѣ же и҆дѧ́ше сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ: ᲂу҆чн҃къ же то́й бѣ̀ зна́емь а҆рхїере́ови и҆ вни́де со і҆и҃сомъ во дво́ръ а҆рхїере́овъ: 16 пе́тръ же стоѧ́ше при две́рехъ внѣ̀. И҆зы́де ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆чн҃къ то́й, и҆́же бѣ̀ зна́емь а҆рхїере́ови, и҆ речѐ две́рницѣ и҆ введѐ петра̀. 17 Глаго́ла же раба̀ две́рница петро́ви: є҆да̀ и҆ ты̀ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆сѝ чл҃вѣ́ка сегѡ̀; Глаго́ла ѻ҆́нъ: нѣ́смь. 18 Стоѧ́хꙋ же рабѝ и҆ слꙋги̑ ѻ҆́гнь сотво́рше, ꙗ҆́кѡ зима̀ бѣ̀, и҆ грѣ́ѧхꙋсѧ: бѣ́ же съ ни́ми пе́тръ стоѧ̀ и҆ грѣ́ѧсѧ. 19 А҆рхїере́й же вопросѝ і҆и҃са ѡ҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀. 20 Ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ гл҃ахъ мі́рꙋ: а҆́зъ всегда̀ ᲂу҆ча́хъ на со́нмищихъ и҆ въ це́ркви, и҆дѣ́же всегда̀ і҆ꙋде́є сне́млютсѧ, и҆ та́й не гл҃ахъ ничесѡ́же: 21 что́ мѧ вопроша́еши; вопросѝ слы́шавшихъ, что̀ гл҃ахъ и҆̀мъ: сѐ, сі́и вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆̀же рѣ́хъ а҆́зъ. 22 Сїѧ̑ же ре́кшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ди́нъ ѿ предстоѧ́щихъ слꙋ́гъ ᲂу҆да́ри въ лани́тꙋ і҆и҃са, ре́къ: та́кѡ ли ѿвѣщава́еши а҆рхїере́ови; 23 Ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́ще ѕлѣ̀ гл҃ахъ, свидѣ́тельствꙋй ѡ҆ ѕлѣ̀: а҆́ще ли до́брѣ, что́ мѧ бїе́ши; 24 Посла́ же є҆го̀ а҆́нна свѧ́зана къ каїа́фѣ а҆рхїере́ови. 25 Бѣ́ же сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ стоѧ̀ и҆ грѣ́ѧсѧ.

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.

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).

Yet was He not on that account unprepared in heart, for the salvation of all, …

For, because both continued with Him at His crucifixion, taking away the ground of his own commendation, he saith, "That disciple was known unto the high priest." But James survived not a long time, but from the beginning he was so greatly filled with warmth, and so forsook all the things of men, and mounted up to an height unutterable, …
