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 Ѡ҆ ни́хже собра́вшымсѧ тьма́мъ наро́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ попира́ти дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, нача́тъ гл҃ати ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ пе́рвѣе: внемли́те себѣ̀ ѿ ква́са фарїсе́йска, є҆́же є҆́сть лицемѣ́рїе.
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Ничто́же бо покрове́но є҆́сть, є҆́же не ѿкры́етсѧ, и҆ та́йно, є҆́же не ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етсѧ:
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
3 занѐ, є҆ли̑ка во тьмѣ̀ рѣ́сте, во свѣ́тѣ ᲂу҆слы́шатсѧ: и҆ є҆́же ко ᲂу҆́хꙋ глаго́ласте во хра́мѣхъ, проповѣ́стсѧ на кро́вѣхъ.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Гл҃ю же ва́мъ дрꙋгѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ѿ ᲂу҆бива́ющихъ тѣ́ло и҆ пото́мъ не могꙋ́щихъ ли́шше что̀ сотвори́ти:
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 сказꙋ́ю же ва́мъ, когѡ̀ ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ: ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ и҆мꙋ́щагѡ вла́сть по ᲂу҆бїе́нїи воврещѝ въ де́брь ѻ҆́гненнꙋю: є҆́й, гл҃ю ва́мъ, тогѡ̀ ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
6 Не пѧ́ть ли пти́цъ цѣни́тсѧ пѣ́нѧзема двѣма̀; и҆ ни є҆ди́на ѿ ни́хъ нѣ́сть забве́на пред̾ бг҃омъ.
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Но и҆ вла́си главы̀ ва́шеѧ всѝ и҆зочте́ни сꙋ́ть. Не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо: мно́зѣхъ пти́цъ ᲂу҆́ньши є҆стѐ вы̀.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Гл҃ю же ва́мъ: всѧ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще и҆сповѣ́сть мѧ̀ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, и҆ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй и҆сповѣ́сть є҆го̀ пред̾ а҆́гг҃лы бж҃їими:
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
9 а҆ ѿвергі́йсѧ менє̀ пред̾ человѣ̑ки ѿве́рженъ бꙋ́детъ пред̾ а҆́гг҃лы бж҃їими.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
10 И҆ всѧ́къ и҆́же рече́тъ сло́во на сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческаго, ѡ҆ста́витсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆ на ст҃а́го дх҃а хꙋ́лившемꙋ не ѡ҆ста́витсѧ.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Є҆гда́ же приведꙋ́тъ вы̀ на собѡ́рища и҆ вла̑сти и҆ влады́чєства, не пецы́тесѧ, ка́кѡ и҆лѝ что̀ ѿвѣща́ете, и҆лѝ что̀ рече́те:
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
12 ст҃ы́й бо дх҃ъ наꙋчи́тъ вы̀ въ то́й ча́съ, ꙗ҆̀же подоба́етъ рещѝ.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ нѣ́кїй ѿ наро́да: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, рцы̀ бра́тꙋ моемꙋ̀ раздѣли́ти со мно́ю достоѧ́нїе.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: человѣ́че, кто̀ мѧ̀ поста́ви сꙋдїю̀ и҆лѝ дѣли́телѧ над̾ ва́ми;
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: блюди́те и҆ храни́тесѧ ѿ лихои́мства: ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѿ и҆збы́тка комꙋ̀ живо́тъ є҆гѡ̀ є҆́сть ѿ и҆мѣ́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 Рече́ же при́тчꙋ къ ни̑мъ, гл҃ѧ: человѣ́кꙋ нѣ́коемꙋ бога́тꙋ ᲂу҆гобзи́сѧ ни́ва:
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 и҆ мы́слѧше въ себѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: что̀ сотворю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мамъ гдѣ̀ собра́ти плодѡ́въ мои́хъ;
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18 И҆ речѐ: сѐ сотворю̀: разорю̀ жи̑тницы моѧ̑, и҆ бо́льшыѧ сози́ждꙋ, и҆ соберꙋ̀ тꙋ̀ всѧ̑ жи̑та моѧ̑ и҆ блага̑ѧ моѧ̑:
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 и҆ рекꙋ̀ дꙋшѝ мое́й: дꙋшѐ, и҆́маши мнѡ́га бла̑га, лежа̑ща на лѣ̑та мнѡ́га: почива́й, ꙗ҆́ждь, пі́й, весели́сѧ.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ: безꙋ́мне, въ сїю̀ но́щь дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆стѧ́жꙋтъ ѿ тебє̀: а҆ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́валъ є҆сѝ, комꙋ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ;
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21 Та́кѡ собира́ѧй себѣ̀, а҆ не въ бг҃а богатѣ́ѧ.
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои́мъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди гл҃ю ва́мъ: не пецы́тесѧ дꙋше́ю ва́шею, что̀ ꙗ҆́сте: ни тѣ́ломъ, во что̀ ѡ҆блече́тесѧ:
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 дꙋша̀ бо́льши є҆́сть пи́щи, и҆ тѣ́ло ѻ҆де́жды.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Смотри́те вра̑нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сѣ́ютъ, ни жнꙋ́тъ: и҆̀мже нѣ́сть сокро́вища, ни жи́тницы, и҆ бг҃ъ пита́етъ и҆̀хъ: кольмѝ па́че вы̀ є҆стѐ лꙋ́чши пти́цъ;
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25 Кто́ же ѿ ва́съ пекі́йсѧ мо́жетъ приложи́ти во́зрастꙋ своемꙋ̀ ла́коть є҆ди́нъ;
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо ни ма́ла чесѡ̀ мо́жете, что̀ ѡ҆ про́чихъ пече́тесѧ;
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Смотри́те крі́ны, ка́кѡ растꙋ́тъ: не трꙋжда́ютсѧ, ни прѧдꙋ́тъ: гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни соломѡ́нъ во все́й сла́вѣ свое́й ѡ҆блече́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ ѿ си́хъ.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 А҆́ще же травꙋ̀, на селѣ̀ дне́сь сꙋ́щꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ въ пе́щь вме́щемꙋ, бг҃ъ та́кѡ ѡ҆дѣва́етъ: кольмѝ па́че ва́съ, маловѣ́ри;
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 И҆ вы̀ не и҆щи́те, что̀ ꙗ҆́сте, и҆лѝ что̀ пїе́те: и҆ не возноси́тесѧ:
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 всѣ́хъ бо си́хъ ꙗ҆зы́цы мі́ра сегѡ̀ и҆́щꙋтъ: ва́шъ же ѻ҆ц҃ъ вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ тре́бꙋете си́хъ:
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 ѻ҆ба́че и҆щи́те црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ, и҆ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ приложа́тсѧ ва́мъ.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Не бо́йсѧ, ма́лое ста́до: ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гоизво́ли ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ да́ти ва́мъ црⷭ҇тво.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Продади́те и҆мѣ̑нїѧ ва̑ша и҆ дади́те ми́лостыню. Сотвори́те себѣ̀ влага̑лища неветша̑юща, сокро́вище неѡскꙋдѣ́емо на нб҃сѣ́хъ, и҆дѣ́же та́ть не приближа́етсѧ, ни мо́ль растлѣва́етъ.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 И҆дѣ́же бо сокро́вище ва́ше, тꙋ̀ и҆ се́рдце ва́ше бꙋ́детъ.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ чрє́сла ва̑ша препоѧ̑сана, и҆ свѣти́льницы горѧ́щїи:
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
36 и҆ вы̀ подо́бни человѣ́кѡмъ ча́ющымъ го́спода своегѡ̀, когда̀ возврати́тсѧ ѿ бра́ка, да прише́дшꙋ и҆ толкнꙋ́вшꙋ, а҆́бїе ѿве́рзꙋтъ є҆мꙋ̀.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Бл҃же́ни рабѝ ті́и, и҆̀хже прише́дъ госпо́дь ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ бдѧ́щихъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ препоѧ́шетсѧ и҆ посади́тъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ минꙋ́въ послꙋ́житъ и҆̀мъ.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 И҆ а҆́ще прїи́детъ во вторꙋ́ю стра́жꙋ, и҆ въ тре́тїю стра́жꙋ прїи́детъ, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ (и҆̀хъ) та́кѡ, бл҃же́ни сꙋ́ть рабѝ ті́и.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
39 Се́ же вѣ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бы вѣ́далъ господи́нъ хра́мины, въ кі́й ча́съ та́ть прїи́детъ, бдѣ́лъ ᲂу҆̀бо бы, и҆ не бы̀ да́лъ подкопа́ти до́мꙋ своегѡ̀:
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо бꙋ́дите гото́ви: ꙗ҆́кѡ, во́ньже ча́съ не мни́те, сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй прїи́детъ.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ пе́тръ: гдⷭ҇и, къ на́мъ ли при́тчꙋ сїю̀ гл҃еши, и҆лѝ ко всѣ̑мъ;
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо є҆́сть вѣ́рный строи́тель и҆ мꙋ́дрый, є҆го́же поста́витъ госпо́дь над̾ че́лѧдїю свое́ю, даѧ́ти во вре́мѧ житомѣ́рїе;
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Бл҃же́нъ ра́бъ то́й, є҆го́же прише́дъ госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ творѧ́ща та́кѡ:
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 вои́стиннꙋ гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ над̾ всѣ́мъ и҆мѣ́нїемъ свои́мъ поста́витъ є҆го̀.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
45 А҆́ще же рече́тъ ра́бъ то́й въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: косни́тъ господи́нъ мо́й прїитѝ: и҆ на́чнетъ би́ти рабы̑ и҆ рабы̑ни, ꙗ҆́сти же и҆ пи́ти и҆ ᲂу҆пива́тисѧ:
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
46 прїи́детъ господи́нъ раба̀ тогѡ̀ въ де́нь, во́ньже не ча́етъ, и҆ въ ча́съ, во́ньже не вѣ́сть: и҆ расте́шетъ є҆го̀, и҆ ча́сть є҆гѡ̀ съ невѣ́рными положи́тъ.
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 То́й же ра́бъ вѣ́дѣвый во́лю господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ не ᲂу҆гото́вавъ, ни сотвори́въ по во́ли є҆гѡ̀, бїе́нъ бꙋ́детъ мно́гѡ:
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 невѣ́дѣвый же, сотвори́въ же достѡ́йнаѧ ра́намъ, бїе́нъ бꙋ́детъ ма́лѡ. Всѧ́комꙋ же, є҆мꙋ́же дано̀ бꙋ́детъ мно́гѡ, мно́гѡ взы́щетсѧ ѿ негѡ̀: и҆ є҆мꙋ́же преда́ша мно́жайше, мно́жайше про́сѧтъ ѿ негѡ̀.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 Ѻ҆гнѧ̀ прїидо́хъ воврещѝ на зе́млю, и҆ что̀ хощꙋ̀, а҆́ще ᲂу҆жѐ возгорѣ́сѧ;
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 Кр҃ще́нїемъ же и҆́мамъ крⷭ҇ти́тисѧ, и҆ ка́кѡ ᲂу҆держꙋ́сѧ, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ;
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 Мните́ ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ ми́ръ прїидо́хъ да́ти на зе́млю; нѝ, гл҃ю ва́мъ, но раздѣле́нїе:
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо ѿсе́лѣ пѧ́ть во є҆ди́нѣмъ домꙋ̀ раздѣле́ни, трїѐ на два̀, и҆ два̀ на трѝ:
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 раздѣли́тсѧ ѻ҆те́цъ на сы́на, и҆ сы́нъ на ѻ҆тца̀: ма́ти на дще́рь, и҆ дщѝ на ма́терь: свекры̀ на невѣ́стꙋ свою̀, и҆ невѣ́ста на свекро́вь свою̀.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Гл҃аше же и҆ наро́дѡмъ: є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́зрите ѡ҆́блакъ восходѧ́щь ѿ за́пада, а҆́бїе глаго́лете: тꙋ́ча грѧде́тъ: и҆ быва́етъ та́кѡ:
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55 и҆ є҆гда̀ ю҆́гъ вѣ́ющь, глаго́лете: зно́й бꙋ́детъ: и҆ быва́етъ.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56 Лицемѣ́ри, лицѐ не́бꙋ и҆ землѝ вѣ́сте и҆скꙋша́ти: вре́мене же сегѡ̀ ка́кѡ не и҆скꙋша́ете;
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57 Что́ же и҆ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ не сꙋ́дите пра́ведное;
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Є҆гда́ бо грѧде́ши съ сопе́рникомъ твои́мъ ко кнѧ́зю, на пꙋтѝ да́ждь дѣ́ланїе и҆збы́ти ѿ негѡ̀: да не ка́кѡ привлече́тъ тебѐ къ сꙋдїѝ, и҆ сꙋдїѧ̀ тѧ̀ преда́стъ слꙋзѣ̀, и҆ слꙋга̀ всади́тъ тѧ̀ въ темни́цꙋ:
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 гл҃ю тебѣ̀: не и҆зы́деши ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, до́ндеже и҆ послѣ́днюю мѣ́дницꙋ возда́си.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”

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).

"For mighty" men (it is said) "shall be mightily tormented:" and "He that knew his Lord's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." So that more knowledge is a ground of more punishment.

And he who says again that the Father is one, and the maker of the world another, opposes the Son when He says, If then God so clothes the grass of the field which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace of fire; and, Who maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, …
