1 И҆ бы́сть внегда̀ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ на мѣ́стѣ нѣ́коемъ молѧ́щꙋсѧ, (и҆) ꙗ҆́кѡ преста̀, речѐ нѣ́кїй ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀ къ немꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇и, наꙋчи́ ны моли́тисѧ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ наꙋчѝ ᲂу҆ченикѝ своѧ̑. 2 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: є҆гда̀ мо́литесѧ, глаго́лите: ѻ҆́ч҃е на́шъ, и҆́же на нб҃сѣ́хъ, да ст҃и́тсѧ и҆́мѧ твоѐ: да прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе твоѐ: да бꙋ́детъ во́лѧ твоѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ на нб҃сѝ, и҆ на землѝ: 3 хлѣ́бъ на́шъ насꙋ́щный подава́й на́мъ на всѧ́къ де́нь: 4◆ и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви на́мъ грѣхѝ на́шѧ, и҆́бо и҆ са́ми ѡ҆ставлѧ́емъ всѧ́комꙋ должникꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ: и҆ не введѝ на́съ во и҆скꙋше́нїе, но и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ лꙋка́вагѡ. 5 И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кто̀ ѿ ва́съ и҆́мать дрꙋ́га, и҆ и҆́детъ къ немꙋ̀ въ полꙋ́нощи, и҆ рече́тъ є҆мꙋ̀: дрꙋ́же, да́ждь мѝ взаи́мъ трѝ хлѣ́бы: 6 поне́же дрꙋ́гъ прїи́де съ пꙋтѝ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ не и҆́мамъ чесѡ̀ предложи́ти є҆мꙋ̀. 7 И҆ то́й и҆звнꙋ́трь ѿвѣща́въ рече́тъ: не твори́ ми трꙋды̀: ᲂу҆жѐ двє́ри затворены̀ сꙋ́ть, и҆ дѣ́ти моѧ̑ со мно́ю на ло́жи сꙋ́ть: (и҆) не могꙋ̀ воста́въ да́ти тебѣ̀. 8 Гл҃ю же ва́мъ: а҆́ще и҆ не да́стъ є҆мꙋ̀ воста́въ, занѐ дрꙋ́гъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть: но за без̾ѻ́чьство є҆гѡ̀, воста́въ да́стъ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ли̑ка тре́бꙋетъ. 9 И҆ а҆́зъ ва́мъ гл҃ю: проси́те, и҆ да́стсѧ ва́мъ: и҆щи́те, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете: толцы́те, и҆ ѿве́рзетсѧ ва́мъ: 10 всѧ́къ бо просѧ́й прїе́млетъ, и҆ и҆щѧ́й ѡ҆брѣта́етъ, и҆ толкꙋ́щемꙋ ѿве́рзетсѧ. 11 Кото́рагѡ же ва́съ ѻ҆тца̀ воспро́ситъ сы́нъ хлѣ́ба, є҆да̀ ка́мень пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀;

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.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Matthew 6:13: “For thine is the kingdom…”
The closing doxology of the Lord’s Prayer, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,” is missing from the oldest Greek manuscripts of Matthew and from most of the Latin tradition, but it is very old: a shorter form already appears in the Didache. The Patriarchal Text includes it, and in the Divine Liturgy the priest sings it in a Trinitarian form. Most scholars see it as an early liturgical response that entered the text.
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).
We have heard our Lord, the Heavenly Master, and most faithful Counsellor exhorting us, who at once exhorteth us to ask, and giveth when we ask. We have heard Him in the Gospel exhorting us to ask instantly, and to knock even after the likeness of intrusive importunity.

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation." He thus points out the recapitulation that should take place in his own person of the effusion of blood from the beginning, of all the righteous men and of the prophets, and that by means of Himself there should be a requisition of their blood.
Or if he ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then," saith He, "though ye be evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

Whereas, if they were in discord, neither could this have been pointed out, and the doctrine itself had long since been brought to nought: "for every kingdom," saith He, "divided against itself shall not stand." But now even in this shines forth the might of the Spirit, namely, in that it prevailed on these men, engaged as they were in …
