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 хожда́ше і҆и҃съ по си́хъ въ галїле́и: не хотѧ́ше бо во і҆ꙋде́и ходи́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ска́хꙋ є҆го̀ і҆ꙋде́є ᲂу҆би́ти.
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Бѣ́ же бли́з̾ пра́здникъ і҆ꙋде́йскїй, потче́нїе сѣ́ни.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
3 Рѣ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо къ немꙋ̀ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀: прейдѝ ѿсю́дꙋ, и҆ и҆дѝ во і҆ꙋде́ю, да и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ твоѝ ви́дѧтъ дѣла̀ твоѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же твори́ши:
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
4 никто́же бо въ та́йнѣ твори́тъ что̀, и҆ и҆́щетъ са́мъ ꙗ҆́вѣ бы́ти: а҆́ще сїѧ̑ твори́ши, ꙗ҆вѝ себѐ мі́рови.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
5 Ни бра́тїѧ бо є҆гѡ̀ вѣ́ровахꙋ въ него̀.
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6 Гл҃а ᲂу҆̀бо и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: вре́мѧ моѐ не ᲂу҆̀ прїи́де: вре́мѧ же ва́ше всегда̀ гото́во є҆́сть:
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 не мо́жетъ мі́ръ ненави́дѣти ва́съ, мене́ же ненави́дитъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ свидѣ́тельствꙋю ѡ҆ не́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѕла̑ сꙋ́ть:
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 вы̀ взы́дите въ пра́здникъ се́й, а҆́зъ не взы́дꙋ въ пра́здникъ се́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ моѐ не ᲂу҆̀ и҆спо́лнисѧ.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9 Сїѧ̑ ре́къ и҆̀мъ, ѡ҆ста̀ въ галїле́и.
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
10 Є҆гда́ же взыдо́ша бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ въ пра́здникъ, тогда̀ и҆ са́мъ взы́де, не ꙗ҆́вѣ, но ꙗ҆́кѡ та́й.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 Жи́дове же и҆ска́хꙋ є҆го̀ въ пра́здникъ и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть ѻ҆́нъ;
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12 И҆ ро́потъ мно́гъ бѣ̀ ѡ҆ не́мъ въ наро́дѣхъ: ѻ҆́вїи глаго́лахꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гъ є҆́сть: и҆ні́и же глаго́лахꙋ: нѝ, но льсти́тъ наро́ды.
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13 Никто́же ᲂу҆́бѡ ꙗ҆́вѣ глаго́лаше ѡ҆ не́мъ, стра́ха ра́ди і҆ꙋде́йскагѡ.
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 А҆́бїе же въ преполове́нїе пра́здника взы́де і҆и҃съ во це́рковь и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ше.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 И҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ і҆ꙋде́є, глаго́люще: ка́кѡ се́й кни̑ги вѣ́сть не ᲂу҆чи́всѧ;
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16 Ѿвѣща̀ (ᲂу҆̀бо) и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ и҆ речѐ: моѐ ᲂу҆ч҃нїе нѣ́сть моѐ, но посла́вшагѡ мѧ̀:
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 а҆́ще кто̀ хо́щетъ во́лю є҆гѡ̀ твори́ти, разꙋмѣ́етъ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи, ко́е ѿ бг҃а є҆́сть, и҆лѝ а҆́зъ ѿ себє̀ гл҃ю:
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
18 глаго́лѧй ѿ себє̀ сла́вы своеѧ̀ и҆́щетъ: а҆ и҆щѧ́й сла́вы посла́вшагѡ є҆го̀, се́й и҆́стиненъ є҆́сть, и҆ нѣ́сть непра́вды въ не́мъ.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Не мѡѷсе́й ли дадѐ ва́мъ зако́нъ; и҆ никто́же ѿ ва́съ твори́тъ зако́на. Что̀ менѐ и҆́щете ᲂу҆би́ти;
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20 Ѿвѣща̀ наро́дъ и҆ речѐ: бѣ́са ли и҆́маши; кто̀ тебѐ и҆́щетъ ᲂу҆би́ти;
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: є҆ди́но дѣ́ло сотвори́хъ, и҆ всѝ дивите́сѧ:
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
22 сегѡ̀ ра́ди мѡѷсе́й дадѐ ва́мъ ѡ҆брѣ́занїе, не ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ мѡѷсе́а є҆́сть, но ѿ ѻ҆тє́цъ: и҆ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ ѡ҆брѣ́заете человѣ́ка:
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
23 а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣ́занїе прїе́млетъ человѣ́къ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ, да не разори́тсѧ зако́нъ мѡѷсе́овъ, на мѧ́ ли гнѣ́ваетесѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всего̀ человѣ́ка здра́ва сотвори́хъ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ;
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 не сꙋди́те на лица̑, но првⷣный сꙋ́дъ сꙋди́те.
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
25 Глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо нѣ́цыи ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧнъ: не се́й ли є҆́сть, є҆го́же и҆́щꙋтъ ᲂу҆би́ти;
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
26 и҆ сѐ, не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ гл҃етъ, и҆ ничесѡ́же є҆мꙋ̀ не глаго́лютъ: є҆да̀ ка́кѡ разꙋмѣ́ша кнѧ̑зи, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ;
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
27 но сего̀ вѣ́мы, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆́сть: хрⷭ҇то́съ же є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ, никто́же вѣ́сть, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ бꙋ́детъ.
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Воззва̀ ᲂу҆̀бо въ це́ркви ᲂу҆чѧ̀ і҆и҃съ и҆ гл҃ѧ: и҆ менѐ вѣ́сте, и҆ вѣ́сте, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆́смь: и҆ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ не прїидо́хъ, но є҆́сть и҆́стиненъ посла́вый мѧ̀, є҆гѡ́же вы̀ не вѣ́сте:
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
29 а҆́зъ вѣ́мъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ негѡ̀ є҆́смь, и҆ то́й мѧ̀ посла̀.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 И҆ска́хꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо, да и҆́мꙋтъ є҆го̀: и҆ никто́же возложѝ на́нь рꙋкѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆̀ бѣ̀ прише́лъ ча́съ є҆гѡ̀.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Мно́зи же ѿ наро́да вѣ́роваша въ него̀ и҆ глаго́лахꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇то́съ, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ, є҆да̀ бѡ́льша зна́мєнїѧ сотвори́тъ, ꙗ҆̀же се́й твори́тъ;
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32 Слы́шаша фарїсе́є наро́дъ ро́пщꙋщь ѡ҆ не́мъ сїѧ̑, и҆ посла́ша фарїсе́є и҆ а҆рхїере́є слꙋги̑, да и҆́мꙋтъ є҆го̀.
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Речѐ ᲂу҆̀бо і҆и҃съ: є҆щѐ ма́ло вре́мѧ съ ва́ми є҆́смь, и҆ и҆дꙋ̀ къ посла́вшемꙋ мѧ̀:
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 взы́щете менѐ и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щете: и҆ и҆дѣ́же є҆́смь а҆́зъ, вы̀ не мо́жете прїитѝ.
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
35 Рѣ́ша же і҆ꙋде́є къ себѣ̀: ка́мѡ се́й хо́щетъ и҆тѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мы̀ не ѡ҆брѧ́щемъ є҆гѡ̀; є҆да̀ въ разсѣ́ѧнїе є҆́ллинское хо́щетъ и҆тѝ и҆ ᲂу҆чи́ти є҆́ллины;
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 что̀ є҆́сть сїѐ сло́во, є҆́же речѐ: взы́щете менѐ и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щете: и҆ и҆дѣ́же є҆́смь а҆́зъ, вы̀ не мо́жете прїитѝ;
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
37 Въ послѣ́днїй же де́нь вели́кїй пра́здника стоѧ́ше і҆и҃съ и҆ зва́ше, гл҃ѧ: а҆́ще кто̀ жа́ждетъ, да прїи́детъ ко мнѣ̀ и҆ пїе́тъ:
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
38 вѣ́рꙋѧй въ мѧ̀, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ писа́нїе, рѣ́ки ѿ чре́ва є҆гѡ̀ и҆стекꙋ́тъ воды̀ жи́вы.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
39 Сїе́ же речѐ ѡ҆ дс҃ѣ, є҆го́же хотѧ́хꙋ прїима́ти вѣ́рꙋющїи во и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀: не ᲂу҆̀ бо бѣ̀ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ не ᲂу҆̀ бѣ̀ просла́вленъ.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
40 Мно́зи же ѿ наро́да слы́шавше сло́во, глаго́лахꙋ: се́й є҆́сть вои́стиннꙋ прⷪ҇ро́къ.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
41 Дрꙋзі́и глаго́лахꙋ: се́й є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ. Ѻ҆́вїи же глаго́лахꙋ: є҆да̀ ѿ галїле́и хрⷭ҇то́съ прихо́дитъ;
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 не писа́нїе ли речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сѣ́мене дв҃дова и҆ ѿ виѳлее́мскїѧ ве́си, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ дв҃дъ, хрⷭ҇то́съ прїи́детъ;
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
43 Ра́спрѧ ᲂу҆̀бо бы́сть въ наро́дѣ є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди.
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
44 Нѣ́цыи же ѿ ни́хъ хотѧ́хꙋ ꙗ҆́ти є҆го̀: но никто́же возложѝ на́нь рꙋ́цѣ.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Прїидо́ша же слꙋги̑ ко а҆рхїере́ѡмъ и҆ фарїсе́ѡмъ: и҆ рѣ́ша и҆̀мъ ті́и: почто̀ не приведо́сте є҆гѡ̀;
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 Ѿвѣща́ша слꙋги̑: николи́же та́кѡ є҆́сть глаго́лалъ человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й чл҃вѣ́къ.
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Ѿвѣща́ша ᲂу҆̀бо и҆̀мъ фарїсе́є: є҆да̀ и҆ вы̀ прельще́ни бы́сте;
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
48 є҆да̀ кто̀ ѿ кнѧ̑зь вѣ́рова во́нь, и҆лѝ ѿ фарїсє́й;
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 но наро́дъ се́й, и҆́же не вѣ́сть зако́на, про́клѧти сꙋ́ть.
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
50 Глаго́ла нїкоди́мъ къ ни̑мъ, и҆́же прише́дый къ немꙋ̀ но́щїю, є҆ди́нъ сы́й ѿ ни́хъ:
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 є҆да̀ зако́нъ на́шъ сꙋ́дитъ человѣ́кꙋ, а҆́ще не слы́шитъ ѿ негѡ̀ пре́жде и҆ разꙋмѣ́етъ, что̀ твори́тъ;
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 Ѿвѣща́ша и҆ реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: є҆да̀ и҆ ты̀ ѿ галїле́и є҆сѝ; и҆спыта́й и҆ ви́ждь, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ ѿ галїле́и не прихо́дитъ.
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”

- John 7:53–8:11: the woman taken in adultery
The story of the woman brought to Jesus, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone,” is missing from the earliest Greek manuscripts of John and wanders to other places in some later ones. Yet it was known in the early Church, is printed in the Patriarchal Text, and is read in Orthodox services. Most scholars think it is a genuine early tradition that was not originally part of John.
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).
I Purpose by the Lord's assistance to treat of this section of the Gospel which has just been read; nor is there a little difficulty here, lest the truth be endangered, and falsehood glory. Not that either the truth can perish, nor falsehood triumph.
