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 Воззрѣ́въ же ви́дѣ вмета́ющыѧ въ хра́мъ набдѧ́щїй и҆мѣ̑нїѧ да́ры своѧ̑ бога̑тыѧ:
1 He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
1 Ἀναβλέψας δὲ εἶδε τοὺς βάλλοντας τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον πλουσίους·
2 ви́дѣ же и҆ нѣ́кꙋю вдови́цꙋ ᲂу҆бо́гꙋ вмета́ющꙋ тꙋ̀ двѣ̀ лє́птѣ,
2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
2 εἶδε δέ τινα χήραν πενιχρὰν βάλλουσαν ἐκεῖ δύο λεπτά,
3 и҆ речѐ: вои́стиннꙋ гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вдови́ца сїѧ̀ ᲂу҆бо́гаѧ мно́жае всѣ́хъ вве́рже:
3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
3 καὶ εἶπεν· ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλεν·
4 вси́ бо сі́и ѿ и҆збы́тка своегѡ̀ вверго́ша въ да́ры бг҃ови: сїѧ́ же ѿ лише́нїѧ своегѡ̀ всѐ житїѐ, є҆́же и҆мѣ̀, вве́рже.
4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
4 ἅπαντες γὰρ οὗτοι ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον εἰς τὰ δῶρα τοῦ Θεοῦ, αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὑστερήματος αὐτῆς ἅπαντα τὸν βίον ὃν εἶχεν ἔβαλε.
5 И҆ нѣ̑кимъ глаго́лющымъ ѡ҆ це́ркви, ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́менїемъ до́брымъ и҆ сосꙋ̑ды ᲂу҆кра́шена, речѐ:
5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
5 Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασι κεκόσμηται, εἶπε·
6 сїѧ̑ ꙗ҆̀же ви́дите, прїи́дꙋтъ дні́е, въ нѧ́же не ѡ҆ста́нетъ ка́мень на ка́мени, и҆́же не разори́тсѧ.
6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
6 ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
7 Вопроси́ша же є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, когда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ; и҆ что̀ є҆́сть зна́менїе, є҆гда̀ хотѧ́тъ сїѧ̑ бы́ти;
7 They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
7 ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;
8 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: блюди́те, да не прельще́ни бꙋ́дете: мно́зи бо прїи́дꙋтъ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: и҆ вре́мѧ прибли́жисѧ. Не и҆зы́дите ᲂу҆̀бо в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ.
8 He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
8 ὁ δὲ εἶπε· βλέπετε μὴ πλανηθῆτε· πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικε. μὴ οὖν πορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
9 Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шите бра̑ни и҆ нестроє́нїѧ, не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ: подоба́етъ бо си̑мъ бы́ти пре́жде: но не ᲂу҆̀ а҆́бїе кончи́на.
9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
9 ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας, μὴ πτοηθῆτε· δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος.
10 Тогда̀ гл҃аше и҆̀мъ: воста́нетъ (бо) ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ, и҆ ца́рство на ца́рство:
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
10 τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
11 трꙋ́си же вели́цы по мѣ́стѡмъ и҆ гла́ди и҆ па̑гꙋбы бꙋ́дꙋтъ, страхова̑нїѧ же и҆ зна́мєнїѧ вє́лїѧ съ небесѐ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
11 σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι κατὰ τόπους καὶ λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ σημεῖα ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα ἔσται.
12 Пре́жде же си́хъ всѣ́хъ возложа́тъ на вы̀ рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ и҆ и҆жденꙋ́тъ, предаю́ще на сѡ́нмища и҆ темни̑цы, ведѡ́мы къ царє́мъ и҆ влады́камъ, и҆́мене моегѡ̀ ра́ди:
12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
12 πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ διώξουσι, παραδιδόντες εἰς συναγωγὰς καὶ φυλακάς, ἀγομένους ἐπὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἡγεμόνας ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου·
13 прилꙋчи́тсѧ же ва́мъ во свидѣ́тельство.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
13 ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον.
14 Положи́те ᲂу҆̀бо на сердца́хъ ва́шихъ, не пре́жде поꙋча́тисѧ ѿвѣщава́ти:
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
14 θέσθε οὖν εἰς τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι·
15 а҆́зъ бо да́мъ ва́мъ ᲂу҆ста̀ и҆ премⷣрость, є҆́йже не возмо́гꙋтъ проти́витисѧ и҆лѝ ѿвѣща́ти всѝ противлѧ́ющїисѧ ва́мъ.
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
15 ἐγὼ γὰρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν, ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντειπεῖν οὐδὲ ἀντιστῆναι πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.
16 Пре́дани же бꙋ́дете и҆ роди́тєли и҆ бра́тїею и҆ ро́домъ и҆ дрꙋ̑ги, и҆ ᲂу҆мертвѧ́тъ ѿ ва́съ:
16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
16 παραδοθήσεσθε δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ γονέων καὶ συγγενῶν καὶ φίλων καὶ ἀδελφῶν, καὶ θανατώσουσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν,
17 и҆ бꙋ́дете ненави́дими ѿ всѣ́хъ и҆́мене моегѡ̀ ра́ди:
17 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
17 καὶ ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ὑπὸ πάντων διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου·
18 и҆ вла́съ главы̀ ва́шеѧ не поги́бнетъ:
18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
18 καὶ θρὶξ ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ ἀπόληται·
19 въ терпѣ́нїи ва́шемъ стѧжи́те дꙋ́шы ва́шѧ.
19 “By your endurance you will win your lives.
19 ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν κτήσασθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
20 Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆́зрите ѡ҆бстои́мь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ вѡ́и, тогда̀ разꙋмѣ́йте, ꙗ҆́кѡ прибли́жисѧ запꙋстѣ́нїе є҆мꙋ̀:
20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
20 ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ στρατοπέδων τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
21 тогда̀ сꙋ́щїи во і҆ꙋде́и да бѣ́гаютъ въ го́ры: и҆ и҆̀же посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, да и҆схо́дѧтъ: и҆ и҆̀же во страна́хъ, да не вхо́дѧтъ во́нь:
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
21 τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν,
22 ꙗ҆́кѡ дні́е ѿмще́нїю сі́и сꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆спо́лнитисѧ всемꙋ̀ пи́санномꙋ.
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
22 ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσι τοῦ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
23 Го́ре же и҆мꙋ́щымъ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ и҆ доѧ́щымъ въ ты̑ѧ дни̑: бꙋ́детъ бо бѣда̀ ве́лїѧ на землѝ и҆ гнѣ́въ на лю́дехъ си́хъ,
23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
23 οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ τότε ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
24 и҆ падꙋ́тъ во ѻ҆́стрїи меча̀, и҆ плѣне́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ во всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки: и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ бꙋ́детъ попира́емь ꙗ҆зы̑ки, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ времена̀ ꙗ҆зы̑къ.
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
24 καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρας, καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν ἄχρι πληρωθῶσι καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
25 И҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ зна́мєнїѧ въ со́лнцѣ и҆ лꙋнѣ̀ и҆ ѕвѣзда́хъ: и҆ на землѝ тꙋга̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ ѿ неча́ѧнїѧ шꙋ́ма морска́гѡ и҆ возмꙋще́нїѧ,
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
25 Καὶ ἔσται σημεῖα ἐν ἡλίῳ καὶ σελήνῃ καὶ ἄστροις, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἠχούσης θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου,
26 и҆здыха́ющымъ человѣ́кѡмъ ѿ стра́ха и҆ ча́ѧнїѧ грѧдꙋ́щихъ на вселе́ннꙋю: си̑лы бо небє́сныѧ подви́гнꙋтсѧ,
26 men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
26 ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ· αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.
27 и҆ тогда̀ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческа грѧдꙋ́ща на ѡ҆́блацѣхъ съ си́лою и҆ сла́вою мно́гою.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
27 καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς.
28 Начина́ющымъ же си̑мъ быва́ти, восклони́тесѧ и҆ воздви́гните главы̑ ва́шѧ: занѐ приближа́етсѧ и҆збавле́нїе ва́ше.
28 But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
28 ἀρχομένων δὲ τούτων γίνεσθαι ἀνακύψατε καὶ ἐπάρατε τὰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν, διότι ἐγγίζει ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις ὑμῶν.
29 И҆ речѐ при́тчꙋ и҆̀мъ: ви́дите смоко́вницꙋ и҆ всѧ̑ древа̀:
29 He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
29 Καὶ εἶπε παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς· ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα.
30 є҆гда̀ прошиба́ютсѧ ᲂу҆жѐ, ви́дѧще са́ми вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ бли́з̾ жа́тва є҆́сть.
30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
30 ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν.
31 Та́кѡ и҆ вы̀, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́зрите сїѧ̑ быва̑юща, вѣ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ бли́з̾ є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
31 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
32 А҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мать прейтѝ ро́дъ се́й, до́ндеже всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ:
32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
32 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
33 не́бо и҆ землѧ̀ мимои́детъ, а҆ словеса̀ моѧ̑ не и҆́мꙋтъ прейтѝ.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
33 ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσονται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσι.
34 Внемли́те же себѣ̀, да не когда̀ ѡ҆тѧгча́ютъ сердца̀ ва̑ша ѡ҆б̾ѧде́нїемъ и҆ пїѧ́нствомъ и҆ печа́льми жите́йскими, и҆ на́йдетъ на вы̀ внеза́пꙋ де́нь то́й:
34 “So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
34 Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς μήποτε βαρηθῶσιν ὑμῶν αἱ καρδίαι ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς, καὶ αἰφνίδιος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐπιστῇ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη·
35 ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́ть бо прїи́детъ на всѧ̑ живꙋ́щыѧ на лицы̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ:
35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
35 ὡς παγὶς γὰρ ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.
36 бди́те ᲂу҆̀бо на всѧ́ко вре́мѧ молѧ́щесѧ, да сподо́битесѧ ᲂу҆бѣжа́ти всѣ́хъ си́хъ хотѧ́щихъ бы́ти, и҆ ста́ти пред̾ сн҃омъ чл҃вѣ́ческимъ.
36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
36 ἀγρυπνεῖτε οὖν ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι ἵνα καταξιωθῆτε ἐκφυγεῖν πάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
37 Бѣ́ же во дни̑ во це́ркви ᲂу҆чѧ̀: но́щїю же и҆сходѧ̀ водворѧ́шесѧ въ горѣ̀ нарица́емѣй є҆леѡ́нъ.
37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
37 Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον ἐλαιῶν·
38 И҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́тра прихожда́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ во це́рковь послꙋ́шати є҆го̀.
38 All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
38 καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.

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).
… set aside all their possessions for the Lord's purposes, bestowing joyfully and freely not the less valuable portions of their property, since they have the hope of better things [hereafter]; as that poor widow acted who cast all her living into the treasury of God.
I hear the voice of my God commanding, let not "your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness." "Drunkenness," it is far from me; Thou wilt have mercy, that it approach not near unto me.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 1 (1886)
And elsewhere indeed He saith, "I will give you a mouth and wisdom;" but here, "It is the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you," advancing them unto the dignity of the prophets.

These things have already come to pass; and again, And fearful sights from heaven, and mighty storms.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
… continually upon every occasion, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day shall come upon you unawares; for as a snare shall it come upon all dwelling upon the face of the earth." "Let your loins, therefore, be girded about, and your lights burning, and ye like to …
