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) сїѧ̑ ре́къ і҆и҃съ, и҆зы́де со ᲂу҆чн҃ки̑ свои́ми на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ пото́ка ке́дрска, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ вертогра́дъ, во́ньже вни́де са́мъ и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀:
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 вѣ́дѧше же [и҆] і҆ꙋ́да предаѧ́й є҆го̀ мѣ́сто, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́жицею собира́шесѧ і҆и҃съ тꙋ̀ со ᲂу҆чн҃ки̑ свои́ми.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 І҆ꙋ́да ᲂу҆̀бо прїе́мь спі́рꙋ и҆ ѿ а҆рхїерє́й и҆ фарїсє́й слꙋги̑, прїи́де та́мѡ со свѣти́лы и҆ свѣща́ми и҆ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїи.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 І҆и҃съ же вѣ́дый всѧ̑ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ на́нь, и҆зше́дъ речѐ и҆̀мъ: когѡ̀ и҆́щете;
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 Ѿвѣща́ша є҆мꙋ̀: і҆и҃са назѡре́а. Гл҃а и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь. Стоѧ́ше же и҆ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆́же предаѧ́ше є҆го̀, съ ни́ми.
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Є҆гда́ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆до́ша вспѧ́ть и҆ падо́ша на землѝ.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Па́ки ᲂу҆̀бо вопросѝ и҆̀хъ (і҆и҃съ): когѡ̀ и҆́щете; Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: і҆и҃са назѡре́а.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: рѣ́хъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо менє̀ и҆́щете, ѡ҆ста́вите си́хъ и҆тѝ:
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9 да сбꙋ́детсѧ сло́во, є҆́же речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, не погꙋби́хъ ѿ ни́хъ никогѡ́же.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 Сі́мѡнъ же пе́тръ, и҆мы́й но́жъ, и҆звлечѐ є҆го̀ и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри а҆рхїере́ова раба̀ и҆ ᲂу҆рѣ́за є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́хо десно́е: бѣ́ же и҆́мѧ рабꙋ̀ ма́лхъ.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Речѐ ᲂу҆̀бо і҆и҃съ петро́ви, вонзѝ но́жъ въ но́жницꙋ: ча́шꙋ, ю҆́же дадѐ мнѣ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ, не и҆́мамъ ли пи́ти є҆ѧ̀;
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
12 Спі́ра же и҆ ты́сѧщникъ и҆ слꙋги̑ і҆ꙋде́йстїи ꙗ҆́ша і҆и҃са и҆ свѧза́ша є҆го̀,
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
13 и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ ко а҆́ннѣ пе́рвѣе: бѣ́ бо те́сть каїа́фѣ, и҆́же бѣ̀ а҆рхїере́й лѣ́тꙋ томꙋ̀:
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 бѣ́ же каїа́фа да́вый совѣ́тъ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть є҆ди́номꙋ человѣ́кꙋ ᲂу҆мре́ти за лю́ди.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 По і҆и҃сѣ же и҆дѧ́ше сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ: ᲂу҆чн҃къ же то́й бѣ̀ зна́емь а҆рхїере́ови и҆ вни́де со і҆и҃сомъ во дво́ръ а҆рхїере́овъ:
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 пе́тръ же стоѧ́ше при две́рехъ внѣ̀. И҆зы́де ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆чн҃къ то́й, и҆́же бѣ̀ зна́емь а҆рхїере́ови, и҆ речѐ две́рницѣ и҆ введѐ петра̀.
16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Глаго́ла же раба̀ две́рница петро́ви: є҆да̀ и҆ ты̀ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆сѝ чл҃вѣ́ка сегѡ̀; Глаго́ла ѻ҆́нъ: нѣ́смь.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Стоѧ́хꙋ же рабѝ и҆ слꙋги̑ ѻ҆́гнь сотво́рше, ꙗ҆́кѡ зима̀ бѣ̀, и҆ грѣ́ѧхꙋсѧ: бѣ́ же съ ни́ми пе́тръ стоѧ̀ и҆ грѣ́ѧсѧ.
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 А҆рхїере́й же вопросѝ і҆и҃са ѡ҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
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:
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21 что́ мѧ вопроша́еши; вопросѝ слы́шавшихъ, что̀ гл҃ахъ и҆̀мъ: сѐ, сі́и вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆̀же рѣ́хъ а҆́зъ.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
22 Сїѧ̑ же ре́кшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ди́нъ ѿ предстоѧ́щихъ слꙋ́гъ ᲂу҆да́ри въ лани́тꙋ і҆и҃са, ре́къ: та́кѡ ли ѿвѣщава́еши а҆рхїере́ови;
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
23 Ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́ще ѕлѣ̀ гл҃ахъ, свидѣ́тельствꙋй ѡ҆ ѕлѣ̀: а҆́ще ли до́брѣ, что́ мѧ бїе́ши;
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
24 Посла́ же є҆го̀ а҆́нна свѧ́зана къ каїа́фѣ а҆рхїере́ови.
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Бѣ́ же сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ стоѧ̀ и҆ грѣ́ѧсѧ. Рѣ́ша же є҆мꙋ̀: є҆да̀ и҆ ты̀ ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀ є҆сѝ; Ѻ҆́нъ (же) ѿве́ржесѧ и҆ речѐ: нѣ́смь.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 Глаго́ла є҆ди́нъ ѿ ра̑бъ а҆рхїере́овыхъ, ю҆́жика сы́й, є҆мꙋ́же пе́тръ ᲂу҆рѣ́за ᲂу҆́хо: не а҆́зъ ли тѧ̀ ви́дѣхъ въ вертогра́дѣ съ ни́мъ;
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
27 Па́ки ᲂу҆̀бо пе́тръ ѿве́ржесѧ, и҆ а҆́бїе пѣ́тель возгласѝ.
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Ведо́ша же і҆и҃са ѿ каїа́фы въ претѡ́ръ. Бѣ́ же ᲂу҆́тро: и҆ ті́и не внидо́ша въ претѡ́ръ, да не ѡ҆сквернѧ́тсѧ, но да ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ па́схꙋ.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 И҆зы́де же пїла́тъ къ ни̑мъ во́нъ и҆ речѐ: кꙋ́ю рѣ́чь прино́сите на чл҃вѣ́ка сего̀;
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 Ѿвѣща́ша и҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́ще не бы̀ (бы́лъ) се́й ѕлодѣ́й, не бы́хомъ пре́дали є҆го̀ тебѣ̀.
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ пїла́тъ: поими́те є҆го̀ вы̀ и҆ по зако́нꙋ ва́шемꙋ сꙋди́те є҆мꙋ̀. Рѣ́ша же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ꙋде́є: на́мъ не досто́итъ ᲂу҆би́ти никого́же:
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
32 да сло́во і҆и҃сово сбꙋ́детсѧ, є҆́же речѐ, назна́менꙋѧ, ко́ею сме́ртїю хотѧ́ше ᲂу҆мре́ти.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Вни́де ᲂу҆̀бо па́ки пїла́тъ въ претѡ́ръ и҆ пригласѝ і҆и҃са и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ты́ ли є҆сѝ цр҃ь і҆ꙋде́йскъ;
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 Ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ѡ҆ себѣ́ ли ты̀ сїѐ глаго́леши, и҆лѝ и҆ні́и тебѣ̀ реко́ша ѡ҆ мнѣ̀;
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35 Ѿвѣща̀ пїла́тъ: є҆да̀ а҆́зъ жидови́нъ є҆́смь; ро́дъ тво́й и҆ а҆рхїере́є преда́ша тѧ̀ мнѣ̀: что̀ є҆сѝ сотвори́лъ;
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: црⷭ҇тво моѐ нѣ́сть ѿ мі́ра сегѡ̀: а҆́ще ѿ мі́ра сегѡ̀ бы́ло бы црⷭ҇тво моѐ, слꙋги̑ моѝ (ᲂу҆́бѡ) подвиза́лисѧ бы́ша, да не пре́данъ бы́хъ бы́лъ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ: нн҃ѣ же црⷭ҇тво моѐ нѣ́сть ѿсю́дꙋ.
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
37 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ пїла́тъ: ᲂу҆̀бо цр҃ь ли є҆сѝ ты̀; Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: ты̀ глаго́леши, ꙗ҆́кѡ цр҃ь є҆́смь а҆́зъ: а҆́зъ на сїѐ роди́хсѧ и҆ на сїѐ прїидо́хъ въ мі́ръ, да свидѣ́тельствꙋю и҆́стинꙋ: (и҆) всѧ́къ, и҆́же є҆́сть ѿ и҆́стины, послꙋ́шаетъ гла́са моегѡ̀.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 Глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ пїла́тъ: что̀ є҆́сть и҆́стина; И҆ сїѐ ре́къ, па́ки и҆зы́де ко і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ и҆ глаго́ла и҆̀мъ: а҆́зъ ни є҆ди́ныѧ вины̀ ѡ҆брѣта́ю въ не́мъ:
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 є҆́сть же ѡ҆бы́чай ва́мъ, да є҆ди́наго ва́мъ ѿпꙋщꙋ̀ на па́схꙋ: хо́щете ли ᲂу҆̀бо, (да) ѿпꙋщꙋ̀ ва́мъ цр҃ѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́йска;
39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Возопи́ша же па́ки всѝ, глаго́люще: не сего̀, но вара́ввꙋ. Бѣ́ же вара́вва разбо́йникъ.
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

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).
When the grand and lengthened discourse was concluded which the Lord delivered after supper, and on the eve of shedding His blood for us, to the disciples who were then with Him, and had added the prayer addressed to His Father, the evangelist John began thereafter the narrative of His passion in these words: "When Jesus had so spoken, He …

An awful thing is death, and very full of terror, but not to those who have learnt the true wisdom which is above. For he that knows nothing certain concerning things to come, but deems it to be a certain dissolution and end of life, with reason shudders and is afraid, as though he were passing into non-existence.

… the precepts which He taught, did not offer the other cheek to the servant of the high priest when smiting Him thereon; but, so far from that, said, "If I have spoken evil, hear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?"

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, …
