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.

PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ вни́ти є҆мꙋ̀ въ до́мъ нѣ́коегѡ кнѧ́зѧ фарїсе́йска въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ хлѣ́бъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ ті́и бѧ́хꙋ назира́юще є҆го̀:
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκόν τινος τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν Φαρισαίων σαββάτῳ φαγεῖν ἄρτον, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν παρατηρούμενοι αὐτόν.
2 и҆ сѐ, человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй, и҆мы́й водны́й трꙋ́дъ, бѣ̀ пред̾ ни́мъ.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν ὑδρωπικὸς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
3 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ къ зако́нникѡмъ и҆ фарїсе́ѡмъ, гл҃ѧ: а҆́ще досто́итъ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ цѣли́ти;
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
3 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς νομικοὺς καὶ Φαρισαίους λέγων· εἰ ἔξεστι τῷ σαββάτῳ θεραπεύειν;
4 Ѻ҆ни́ же ᲂу҆молча́ша. И҆ прїе́мь и҆сцѣлѝ є҆го̀, и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ.
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
4 οἱ δὲ ἡσύχασαν. καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος ἰάσατο αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέλυσε.
5 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ къ ни̑мъ речѐ: кото́рагѡ ѿ ва́съ ѻ҆се́лъ и҆лѝ во́лъ въ стꙋдене́цъ впаде́тъ, и҆ не а҆́бїе ли и҆сто́ргнетъ є҆го̀ въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный;
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
5 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπε· τίνος ὑμῶν υἱὸς ἢ βοῦς εἰς φρέαρ ἐμπεσεῖται, καὶ οὐκ εὐθέως ἀνασπάσει αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου;
6 И҆ не возмого́ша ѿвѣща́ти є҆мꙋ̀ къ си̑мъ.
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
6 καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἀνταποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ πρὸς ταῦτα.
7 Гл҃аше же къ зва̑ннымъ при́тчꙋ, ѡ҆бдержѧ̀, ка́кѡ предсѣда̑нїѧ и҆збира́хꙋ, гл҃ѧ къ ни̑мъ:
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
7 Ἔλεγε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς κεκλημένους παραβολήν, ἐπέχων πῶς τὰς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο, λέγων πρὸς αὐτούς·
8 є҆гда̀ зва́нъ бꙋ́деши ки́мъ на бра́къ, не сѧ́ди на пре́днемъ мѣ́стѣ: є҆да̀ кто̀ честнѣ́е тебє̀ бꙋ́детъ зва́нныхъ,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
8 ὅταν κληθῇς ὑπό τινος εἰς γάμους, μὴ κατακλιθῇς εἰς τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν, μήποτε ἐντιμότερός σου ᾖ κεκλημένος ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ,
9 и҆ прише́дъ и҆́же тебѐ зва́вый и҆ ѻ҆́наго, рече́тъ тѝ: да́ждь семꙋ̀ мѣ́сто: и҆ тогда̀ на́чнеши со стꙋдо́мъ послѣ́днее мѣ́сто держа́ти.
9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
9 καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ σὲ καὶ αὐτὸν καλέσας ἐρεῖ σοι· δὸς τούτῳ τόπον· καὶ τότε ἄρξῃ μετ᾽ αἰσχύνης τὸν ἔσχατον τόπον κατέχειν.
10 Но є҆гда̀ зва́нъ бꙋ́деши, ше́дъ сѧ́ди на послѣ́днемъ мѣ́стѣ, да є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ зва́вый тѧ̀, рече́тъ тѝ: дрꙋ́же, посѧ́ди вы́ше: тогда̀ бꙋ́детъ тѝ сла́ва пред̾ зва́нными съ тобо́ю:
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
10 ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν κληθῇς, πορευθεὶς ἀνάπεσε εἰς τὸν ἔσχατον τόπον, ἵνα ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὁ κεκληκώς σε εἴπῃ σοι· φίλε, προσανάβηθι ἀνώτερον· τότε ἔσται σοι δόξα ἐνώπιον τῶν συνανακειμένων σοι.
11 ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ возносѧ́йсѧ смири́тсѧ, и҆ смирѧ́ѧйсѧ вознесе́тсѧ.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
11 ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται καὶ ὁ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
12 Гл҃аше же и҆ ко зва́вшемꙋ є҆го̀: є҆гда̀ сотвори́ши ѡ҆бѣ́дъ и҆лѝ ве́черю, не зовѝ дрꙋгѡ́въ твои́хъ, ни бра́тїи твоеѧ̀, ни срѡ́дникъ твои́хъ, ни сосѣ̑дъ бога́тыхъ: є҆да̀ когда̀ и҆ ті́и тѧ̀ та́кожде воззовꙋ́тъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ тѝ воздаѧ́нїе.
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
12 Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ τῷ κεκληκότι αὐτόν· ὅταν ποιῇς ἄριστον ἢ δεῖπνον, μὴ φώνει τοὺς φίλους σου μηδὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μηδὲ τοὺς συγγενεῖς σου μηδὲ γείτονας πλουσίους, μήποτε καὶ αὐτοί σε ἀντικαλέσωσι, καὶ γενήσεταί σοι ἀνταπόδομα.
13 Но є҆гда̀ твори́ши пи́ръ, зовѝ ни́щыѧ, маломѡ́щныѧ, хрѡмы́ѧ, слѣпы̑ѧ:
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
13 ἀλλ᾽ ὅταν ποιῇς δοχήν, κάλει πτωχούς, ἀναπήρους, χωλούς, τυφλούς,
14 и҆ бл҃же́нъ бꙋ́деши, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мꙋтъ тѝ что̀ возда́ти: возда́стъ же тѝ сѧ̀ въ воскр҃ше́нїе првⷣныхъ.
14 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
14 καὶ μακάριος ἔσῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνταποδοῦναί σοι· ἀνταποδοθήσεται γάρ σοι ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῶν δικαίων.
15 Слы́шавъ же нѣ́кїй ѿ возлежа́щихъ съ ни́мъ сїѧ̑, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: блаже́нъ, и҆́же снѣ́сть ѡ҆бѣ́дъ въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
15 Ἀκούσας δέ τις τῶν συνανακειμένων ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακάριος ὃς φάγεται ἄριστον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
16 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй сотворѝ ве́черю ве́лїю и҆ зва̀ мнѡ́ги:
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
16 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἄνθρωπός τις ἐποίησε δεῖπνον μέγα καὶ ἐκάλεσε πολλούς·
17 и҆ посла̀ раба̀ своего̀ въ го́дъ ве́чери рещѝ зва̑ннымъ: грѧди́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆жѐ готѡ́ва сꙋ́ть всѧ̑.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
17 καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ δείπνου εἰπεῖν τοῖς κεκλημένοις· ἔρχεσθε, ὅτι ἤδη ἕτοιμά ἐστι πάντα.
18 И҆ нача́ша вкꙋ́пѣ ѿрица́тисѧ всѝ. Пе́рвый речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: село̀ кꙋпи́хъ и҆ и҆́мамъ нꙋ́ждꙋ и҆зы́ти и҆ ви́дѣти є҆̀: молю́тисѧ, и҆мѣ́й мѧ̀ ѿрече́на.
18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
18 καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀπὸ μιᾶς παραιτεῖσθαι πάντες. ὁ πρῶτος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀγρὸν ἠγόρασα, καὶ ἔχω ἀνάγκην ἐξελθεῖν καὶ ἰδεῖν αὐτόν· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.
19 И҆ дрꙋгі́й речѐ: сꙋпрꙋ̑гъ волѡ́въ кꙋпи́хъ пѧ́ть и҆ грѧдꙋ̀ и҆скꙋси́ти и҆̀хъ: молю́ тѧ, и҆мѣ́й мѧ̀ ѿрече́на.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
19 καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε· ζεύγη βοῶν ἠγόρασα πέντε, καὶ πορεύομαι δοκιμάσαι αὐτά· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.
20 И҆ дрꙋгі́й речѐ: женꙋ̀ поѧ́хъ и҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди не могꙋ̀ прїитѝ.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
20 καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε· γυναῖκα ἔγημα, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν.
21 И҆ прише́дъ ра́бъ то́й повѣ́да господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ сїѧ̑. Тогда̀ разгнѣ́вавсѧ до́мꙋ влады́ка, речѐ рабꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди ско́рѡ на распꙋ̑тїѧ и҆ стѡ́гны гра́да, и҆ ни́щыѧ и҆ бѣ̑дныѧ и҆ слѣпы̑ѧ и҆ хрѡмы́ѧ введѝ сѣ́мѡ.
21 “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
21 καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἀπήγγειλε τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα. τότε ὀργισθεὶς ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης εἶπε τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ· ἔξελθε ταχέως εἰς τὰς πλατείας καὶ ῥύμας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ τοὺς πτωχοὺς καὶ ἀναπήρους καὶ χωλοὺς καὶ τυφλοὺς εἰσάγαγε ὧδε.
22 И҆ речѐ ра́бъ: го́споди, бы́сть ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ є҆щѐ мѣ́сто є҆́сть.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
22 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ δοῦλος· κύριε, γέγονεν ὡς ἐπέταξας, καὶ ἔτι τόπος ἐστί.
23 И҆ речѐ господи́нъ къ рабꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди на пꙋти̑ и҆ халꙋ̑ги, и҆ ᲂу҆бѣдѝ вни́ти, да напо́лнитсѧ до́мъ мо́й:
23 “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
23 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον· ἔξελθε εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ φραγμοὺς καὶ ἀνάγκασον εἰσελθεῖν, ἵνα γεμισθῇ ὁ οἶκος μου.
24 глаго́лю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни є҆ди́нъ мꙋже́й тѣ́хъ зва́нныхъ вкꙋ́ситъ моеѧ̀ ве́чери: мно́зи бо сꙋ́ть зва́ни, ма́лѡ же и҆збра́нныхъ.
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
24 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου.
25 И҆дѧ́хꙋ же съ ни́мъ наро́ди мно́зи: и҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ речѐ къ ни̑мъ:
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
25 Συνεπορεύοντο δὲ αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί. καὶ στραφεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς·
26 а҆́ще кто̀ грѧде́тъ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ не возненави́дитъ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ и҆ ма́терь, и҆ женꙋ̀ и҆ ча̑дъ, и҆ бра́тїю и҆ се́стръ, є҆ще́ же и҆ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀, не мо́жетъ мо́й бы́ти ᲂу҆чн҃къ:
26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
26 εἴ τις ἔρχεται πρός με καὶ οὐ μισεῖ τὸν πατέρα ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ τέκνα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τὰς ἀδελφάς, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν, οὐ δύναταί μου μαθητὴς εἶναι.
27 и҆ и҆́же не но́ситъ креста̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀ грѧде́тъ, не мо́жетъ мо́й бы́ти ᲂу҆чн҃къ.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
27 καὶ ὅστις οὐ βαστάζει τὸν σταυρὸν ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἔρχεται ὀπίσω μου, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής.
28 Кто́ бо ѿ ва́съ, хотѧ́й сто́лпъ созда́ти, не пре́жде ли сѣ́дъ расчте́тъ и҆мѣ́нїе, а҆́ще и҆́мать, є҆́же є҆́сть на соверше́нїе,
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
28 τίς γὰρ ἐξ ὑμῶν, θέλων πύργον οἰκοδομῆσαι, οὐχὶ πρῶτον καθίσας ψηφίζει τὴν δαπάνην, εἰ ἔχει τὰ πρὸς ἀπαρτισμόν;
29 да не, когда̀ положи́тъ ѡ҆снова́нїе и҆ не возмо́жетъ соверши́ти, всѝ ви́дѧщїи начнꙋ́тъ рꙋга́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀,
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
29 ἵνα μήποτε, θέντος αὐτοῦ θεμέλιον καὶ μὴ ἰσχύσαντος ἐκτελέσαι, πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες ἄρξωνται αὐτῷ ἐμπαίζειν,
30 глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й человѣ́къ нача́тъ зда́ти и҆ не мо́же соверши́ти;
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
30 λέγοντες ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἤρξατο οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἐκτελέσαι;
31 И҆лѝ кі́й ца́рь и҆ды́й ко и҆но́мꙋ царю̀ сни́тисѧ съ ни́мъ на бра́нь, не сѣ́дъ ли пре́жде совѣщава́етъ, а҆́ще си́ленъ є҆́сть срѣ́сти съ десѧтїю̀ ты́сѧщъ грѧдꙋ́щаго со двѣма́десѧтьма ты́сѧщама на́нь;
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
31 ἢ τίς βασιλεύς, πορευόμενος συμβαλεῖν ἑτέρῳ βασιλεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, οὐχὶ πρῶτον καθίσας βουλεύεται εἰ δυνατός ἐστιν ἐν δέκα χιλιάσιν ἀπαντῆσαι τῷ μετὰ εἴκοσι χιλιάδων ἐρχομένῳ ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν;
32 а҆́ще ли же нѝ, є҆щѐ дале́че є҆мꙋ̀ сꙋ́щꙋ, моле́нїе посла́въ мо́литсѧ ѡ҆ смире́нїи.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
32 εἰ δὲ μήγε, ἔτι πόρρω αὐτοῦ ὄντος πρεσβείαν ἀποστείλας ἐρωτᾷ τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην.
33 Та́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо всѧ́къ ѿ ва́съ, и҆́же не ѿрече́тсѧ всегѡ̀ своегѡ̀ и҆мѣ́нїѧ, не мо́жетъ бы́ти мо́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
33 οὕτως οὖν πᾶς ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὃς οὐκ ἀποτάσσεται πᾶσι τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ ὑπάρχουσιν, οὐ δύναται εἶναί μου μαθητής.
34 Добро̀ є҆́сть со́ль: а҆́ще же со́ль ѡ҆бꙋѧ́етъ, чи́мъ ѡ҆соли́тсѧ;
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
34 Καλὸν τὸ ἅλας· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται;
35 ни въ зе́млю, ни въ гно́й потре́бна є҆́сть: во́нъ и҆зсы́плютъ ю҆̀. И҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35 οὔτε εἰς γῆν οὔτε εἰς κοπρίαν εὔθετόν ἐστιν· ἔξω βάλλουσιν αὐτό. ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.

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).
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.

They then represent the Saviour as having indicated this twofold faculty: first, the sustaining power, when He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross (Stauros), and follow after me, cannot be my disciple;" and again, "Taking up the cross, follow me;" but the separating power when He said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword." They also maintain …
Thus both of them, being now Thine, were building a tower at the necessary cost, --of forsaking all that they had and following Thee.

For this reason Luke saith, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple;" not commanding simply to hate them, since this were even quite contrary to the law; but "when one desires to be loved more …

John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first "resurrection of the just," and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth; and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his vision].
