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 Бы́сть же во дни̑ ты̑ѧ, и҆зы́де повелѣ́нїе ѿ ке́сарѧ а҆́ѵгꙋста написа́ти всю̀ вселе́ннꙋю.
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
1 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐξῆλθε δόγμα παρὰ Καίσαρος Αὐγούστου ἀπογράφεσθαι πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκουμένην.
2 Сїѐ написа́нїе пе́рвое бы́сть владѧ́щꙋ сѷрі́ею кѷрині́ю.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2 αὕτη ἡ ἀπογραφὴ πρώτη ἐγένετο ἡγεμονεύοντος τῆς Συρίας Κυρηνίου.
3 И҆ и҆дѧ́хꙋ всѝ написа́тисѧ, ко́ждо во сво́й гра́дъ.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
3 καὶ ἐπορεύοντο πάντες ἀπογράφεσθαι, ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν πόλιν.
4 Взы́де же и҆ і҆ѡ́сифъ ѿ галїле́и, и҆з̾ гра́да назаре́та, во і҆ꙋде́ю, во гра́дъ дв҃довъ, и҆́же нарица́етсѧ виѳлее́мъ, занѐ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ и҆ ѻ҆те́чества дв҃дова,
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
4 ἀνέβη δὲ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐκ πόλεως Ναζαρὲτ εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν εἰς πόλιν Δαυΐδ, ἥτις καλεῖται Βηθλεέμ, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐξ οἴκου καὶ πατριᾶς Δαυΐδ,
5 написа́тисѧ съ мр҃і́ею ѡ҆брꙋче́ною є҆мꙋ̀ жено́ю, сꙋ́щею непра́здною.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
5 ἀπογράψασθαι σὺν Μαριὰμ τῇ μεμνηστευμένῃ αὐτῷ γυναικί, οὔσῃ ἐγκύῳ.
6 Бы́сть же, є҆гда̀ бы́ста та́мѡ, и҆спо́лнишасѧ дні́е роди́ти є҆́й:
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
6 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν,
7 и҆ родѝ сн҃а своего̀ пе́рвенца, и҆ пови́тъ є҆го̀, и҆ положѝ є҆го̀ въ ꙗ҆́слехъ: занѐ не бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ мѣ́ста во ѡ҆би́тели.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7 καὶ ἔτεκε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον, καὶ ἐσπαργάνωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀνέκλινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φάτνῃ, διότι οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τόπος ἐν τῷ καταλύματι.
8 И҆ па́стырїе бѣ́хꙋ въ то́йже странѣ̀, бдѧ́ще и҆ стрегꙋ́ще стра́жꙋ нощнꙋ́ю ѡ҆ ста́дѣ свое́мъ.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
8 Καὶ ποιμένες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῇ αὐτῇ ἀγραυλοῦντες καὶ φυλάσσοντες φυλακὰς τῆς νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τὴν ποίμνην αὐτῶν.
9 И҆ сѐ, а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень ста̀ въ ни́хъ, и҆ сла́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ ѡ҆сїѧ̀ и҆̀хъ: и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ стра́хомъ ве́лїимъ.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
9 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐπέστη αὐτοῖς καὶ δόξα Κυρίου περιέλαμψεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν.
10 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ а҆́гг҃лъ: не бо́йтесѧ: се́ бо, бл҃говѣствꙋ́ю ва́мъ ра́дость ве́лїю, ꙗ҆́же бꙋ́детъ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ:
10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
10 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἄγγελος· μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ἰδοὺ γὰρ εὐαγγελίζομαι ὑμῖν χαρὰν μεγάλην, ἥτις ἔσται παντὶ τῷ λαῷ,
11 ꙗ҆́кѡ роди́сѧ ва́мъ дне́сь сп҃съ, и҆́же є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ гдⷭ҇ь, во гра́дѣ дв҃довѣ:
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
11 ὅτι ἐτέχθη ὑμῖν σήμερον σωτήρ, ὅς ἐστι Χριστὸς Κύριος, ἐν πόλει Δαυΐδ.
12 и҆ сѐ ва́мъ зна́менїе: ѡ҆брѧ́щете млⷣнца пови́та, лежа́ща въ ꙗ҆́слехъ.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
12 καὶ τοῦτο ὑμῖν τὸ σημεῖον· εὑρήσετε βρέφος ἐσπαργανωμένον, κείμενον ἐν φάτνῃ.
13 И҆ внеза́пꙋ бы́сть со а҆́гг҃ломъ мно́жество вѡ́й нбⷭ҇ныхъ, хва́лѧщихъ бг҃а и҆ глаго́лющихъ:
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
13 καὶ ἐξαίφνης ἐγένετο σὺν τῷ ἀγγέλῳ πλῆθος στρατιᾶς οὐρανίου αἰνούντων τὸν Θεὸν καὶ λεγόντων·
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
14 δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις Θεῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη, ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία.
15 И҆ бы́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿидо́ша ѿ ни́хъ на не́бо а҆́гг҃ли, и҆ человѣ́цы па́стырїе рѣ́ша дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ: пре́йдемъ до виѳлее́ма и҆ ви́димъ гл҃го́лъ се́й бы́вшїй, є҆го́же гдⷭ҇ь сказа̀ на́мъ.
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀπῆλθον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ποιμένες εἶπον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· διέλθωμεν δὴ ἕως Βηθλεὲμ καὶ ἴδωμεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο τὸ γεγονός, ὃ ὁ Κύριος ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν.
16 И҆ прїидо́ша поспѣ́шшесѧ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша мр҃їа́мь же и҆ і҆ѡ́сифа, и҆ млⷣнца лежа́ща во ꙗ҆́слехъ.
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
16 καὶ ἦλθον σπεύσαντες, καὶ ἀνεῦρον τήν τε Μαριὰμ καὶ τὸν Ἰωσὴφ καὶ τὸ βρέφος κείμενον ἐν τῇ φάτνῃ.
17 Ви́дѣвше же сказа́ша ѡ҆ гл҃го́лѣ гл҃го́ланнѣмъ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ ѻ҆троча́ти се́мъ.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
17 ἰδόντες δὲ διεγνώρισαν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ λαληθέντος αὐτοῖς περὶ τοῦ παιδίου τούτου·
18 И҆ всѝ слы́шавшїи диви́шасѧ ѡ҆ глаго́ланныхъ ѿ па́стырей къ ни̑мъ.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
18 καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν περὶ τῶν λαληθέντων ὑπὸ τῶν ποιμένων πρὸς αὐτούς.
19 Мр҃їа́мь же соблюда́ше всѧ̑ глаго́лы сїѧ̑, слага́ющи въ се́рдцы свое́мъ.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
19 ἡ δὲ Μαριὰμ πάντα συνετήρει τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα συμβάλλουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.
20 И҆ возврати́шасѧ па́стырїе, сла́вѧще и҆ хва́лѧще бг҃а ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шаша и҆ ви́дѣша, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лано бы́сть къ ни̑мъ.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
20 καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ ποιμένες δοξάζοντες καὶ αἰνοῦντες τὸν Θεὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἤκουσαν καὶ εἶδον καθὼς ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς.
21 И҆ є҆гда̀ и҆спо́лнишасѧ ѻ҆́смь дні́й, да ѡ҆брѣ́жꙋтъ є҆го̀, и҆ нареко́ша и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ, нарече́нное а҆́гг҃ломъ пре́жде да́же не зача́тсѧ во чре́вѣ.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
21 Καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ὀκτὼ τοῦ περιτεμεῖν τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦς, τὸ κληθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγγέλου πρὸ τοῦ συλληφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ.
22 И҆ є҆гда̀ и҆спо́лнишасѧ дні́е ѡ҆чище́нїѧ є҆ю̀, по зако́нꙋ мѡѷсе́овꙋ, вознесо́ста є҆го̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, поста́вити є҆го̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ,
22 When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
22 Καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως, ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα παραστῆσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ,
23 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано въ зако́нѣ гдⷭ҇ни: ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ младе́нецъ мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ, разверза́ѧ ложесна̀, ст҃о гдⷭ҇еви нарече́тсѧ:
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
23 καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου ὅτι πᾶν ἄρσεν διανοῖγον μήτραν ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ κληθήσεται,
24 и҆ є҆́же да́ти же́ртвꙋ, по рече́нномꙋ въ зако́нѣ гдⷭ҇ни, два̀ гѡ́рличища и҆лѝ два̀ птенца̑ голꙋби̑на.
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
24 καὶ τοῦ δοῦναι θυσίαν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου, ζεῦγος τρυγόνων ἢ δύο νεοσσοὺς περιστερῶν.
25 И҆ сѐ, бѣ̀ человѣ́къ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ сѷмеѡ́нъ. И҆ человѣ́къ се́й првⷣнъ и҆ бл҃гочⷭ҇ти́въ, ча́ѧ ᲂу҆тѣ́хи і҆и҃левы: и҆ дх҃ъ бѣ̀ ст҃ъ въ не́мъ.
25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
25 Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ᾧ ὄνομα Συμεών, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος καὶ εὐλαβής, προσδεχόμενος παράκλησιν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ Πνεῦμα ἦν Ἅγιον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν·
26 И҆ бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆бѣща́нно дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ, не ви́дѣти сме́рти, пре́жде да́же не ви́дитъ хрⷭ҇та̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26 καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ κεχρηματισμένον ὑπὸ τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον πρὶν ἢ ἴδῃ τὸν Χριστὸν Κυρίου.
27 И҆ прїи́де дꙋ́хомъ въ це́рковь. И҆ є҆гда̀ введо́ста роди́тєлѧ ѻ҆троча̀ і҆и҃са, сотвори́ти и҆́ма по ѡ҆бы́чаю зако́нномꙋ ѡ҆ не́мъ,
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
27 καὶ ἦλθεν ἐν τῷ Πνεύματι εἰς τὸ ἱερόν· καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσαγαγεῖν τοὺς γονεῖς τὸ παιδίον Ἰησοῦν τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὸ εἰθισμένον τοῦ νόμου περὶ αὐτοῦ,
28 и҆ то́й прїе́мь є҆го̀ на рꙋкꙋ̀ своє́ю, и҆ бл҃гословѝ бг҃а, и҆ речѐ:
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
28 καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδέξατο αὐτὸν εἰς τὰς ἀγκάλας αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν Θεὸν καὶ εἶπε·
29 нн҃ѣ ѿпꙋща́еши раба̀ твоего̀, влⷣко, по гл҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀, съ ми́ромъ:
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
29 νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ,
30 ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣстѣ ѻ҆́чи моѝ спⷭ҇нїе твоѐ,
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
30 ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου,
31 є҆́же є҆сѝ ᲂу҆гото́валъ пред̾ лице́мъ всѣ́хъ люді́й:
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
31 ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν,
32 свѣ́тъ во ѿкрове́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, и҆ сла́вꙋ люді́й твои́хъ і҆и҃лѧ.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
32 φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ.
33 И҆ бѣ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ и҆ мт҃и є҆гѡ̀ чꙋдѧ̑щасѧ ѡ҆ глаго́лемыхъ ѡ҆ не́мъ.
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
33 καὶ ἦν Ἰωσὴφ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ θαυμάζοντες ἐπὶ τοῖς λαλουμένοις περὶ αὐτοῦ.
34 И҆ бл҃гословѝ ѧ҆̀ сѷмеѡ́нъ, и҆ речѐ къ мр҃і́и мт҃ри є҆гѡ̀: сѐ, лежи́тъ се́й на паде́нїе и҆ на воста́нїе мнѡ́гимъ во і҆и҃ли, и҆ въ зна́менїе прерѣка́емо:
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
34 καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς Συμεὼν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Μαριὰμ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ οὗτος κεῖται εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν πολλῶν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἰς σημεῖον ἀντιλεγόμενον.
35 и҆ тебѣ́ же само́й дш҃ꙋ про́йдетъ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе: ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѿкры́ютсѧ ѿ мно́гихъ серде́цъ помышлє́нїѧ.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
35 καὶ σοῦ δὲ αὐτῆς τὴν ψυχὴν διελεύσεται ῥομφαία, ὅπως ἂν ἀποκαλυφθῶσιν ἐκ πολλῶν καρδιῶν διαλογισμοί.
36 И҆ бѣ̀ а҆́нна прⷪ҇ро́чица, дщѝ фанꙋ́илева, ѿ колѣ́на а҆си́рова: сїѧ̀ заматорѣ́вши во дне́хъ мно́зѣхъ, жи́вши съ мꙋ́жемъ се́дмь лѣ́тъ ѿ дѣ́вства своегѡ̀:
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
36 Καὶ ἦν Ἄννα προφῆτις, θυγάτηρ Φανουήλ, ἐκ φυλῆς Ἀσήρ· αὕτη προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ἡμέραις πολλαῖς, ζήσασα ἔτη μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἑπτὰ ἀπὸ τῆς παρθενίας αὐτῆς,
37 и҆ та̀ вдова̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ лѣ́тъ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ и҆ четы́ре, ꙗ҆́же не ѿхожда́ше ѿ це́ркве, посто́мъ и҆ моли́твами слꙋжа́щи де́нь и҆ но́щь.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
37 καὶ αὐτὴ χήρα ὡς ἐτῶν ὀγδοήκοντα τεσσάρων, ἣ οὐκ ἀφίστατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱεροῦ νηστείαις καὶ δεήσεσι λατρεύουσα νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν·
38 И҆ та̀ въ то́й ча́съ приста́вши и҆сповѣ́дашесѧ гдⷭ҇еви и҆ глаго́лаше ѡ҆ не́мъ всѣ̑мъ ча́ющымъ и҆збавле́нїѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
38 καὶ αὕτη αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐπιστᾶσα ἀνθωμολογεῖτο τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ πᾶσι τοῖς προσδεχομένοις λύτρωσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
39 И҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ сконча́шасѧ всѧ̑ по зако́нꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, возврати́шасѧ въ галїле́ю, во гра́дъ сво́й назаре́тъ.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
39 Καὶ ὡς ἐτέλεσαν ἅπαντα τὰ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Κυρίου, ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἑαυτῶν Ναζαρέτ.
40 Ѻ҆троча́ же растѧ́ше и҆ крѣплѧ́шесѧ дх҃омъ, и҆сполнѧ́ѧсѧ премⷣрости: и҆ блгⷣть бж҃їѧ бѣ̀ на не́мъ.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
40 Τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὔξανε καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πνεύματι πληρούμενον σοφίας, καὶ χάρις Θεοῦ ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό.
41 И҆ хожда́ста роди́тєлѧ є҆гѡ̀ на всѧ́ко лѣ́то во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ въ пра́здникъ па́схи.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
41 Καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ἔτος εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῇ ἑορτῇ τοῦ πάσχα.
42 И҆ є҆гда̀ бы́сть двоюна́десѧти лѣ̑тꙋ, восходѧ́щымъ и҆̀мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ по ѡ҆бы́чаю пра́здника,
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
42 καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἐτῶν δώδεκα, ἀναβάντων αὐτῶν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἑορτῆς
43 и҆ сконча́вшымъ дни̑, и҆ возвраща́ющимасѧ и҆́ма, ѡ҆ста̀ ѻ҆́трокъ і҆и҃съ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: и҆ не разꙋмѣ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ и҆ мт҃и є҆гѡ̀:
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
43 καὶ τελειωσάντων τὰς ἡμέρας, ἐν τῷ ὑποστρέφειν αὐτοὺς ὑπέμεινεν Ἰησοῦς ὁ παῖς ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω Ἰωσὴφ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ.
44 мнѣ̑вша же є҆го̀ въ дрꙋжи́нѣ сꙋ́ща, преидо́ста днѐ пꙋ́ть, и҆ и҆ска́ста є҆го̀ во сро́дницѣхъ и҆ въ зна́емыхъ:
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
44 νομίσαντες δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ συνοδίᾳ εἶναι ἦλθον ἡμέρας ὁδὸν καὶ ἀνεζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς συγγενέσι καὶ ἐν τοῖς γνωστοῖς·
45 и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ̑тша є҆го̀, возврати́стасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, взыска̑юща є҆го̀.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
45 καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ζητοῦντες αὐτόν.
46 И҆ бы́сть по трїе́хъ дне́хъ, ѡ҆брѣто́ста є҆го̀ въ це́ркви, сѣдѧ́щаго посредѣ̀ ᲂу҆чи́телей, и҆ послꙋ́шающаго и҆́хъ, и҆ вопроша́ющаго и҆̀хъ:
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
46 καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας τρεῖς εὗρον αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καθεζόμενον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων καὶ ἀκούοντα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπερωτῶντα αὐτούς·
47 ᲂу҆жаса́хꙋсѧ же всѝ послꙋ́шающїи є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆ ра́зꙋмѣ и҆ ѡ҆ ѿвѣ́тѣхъ є҆гѡ̀.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47 ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ συνέσει καὶ ταῖς ἀποκρίσεσιν αὐτοῦ.
48 И҆ ви̑дѣвша є҆го̀, диви́стасѧ: и҆ къ немꙋ̀ мт҃и є҆гѡ̀ речѐ: ча́до, что̀ сотворѝ на́ма та́кѡ; сѐ, ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й и҆ а҆́зъ болѧ̑ща и҆ска́хома тебѐ.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
48 καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεπλάγησαν, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπε· τέκνον, τί ἐποίησας ἡμῖν οὕτως; ἰδοὺ ὁ πατήρ σου κἀγὼ ὀδυνώμενοι ἐζητοῦμέν σε.
49 И҆ речѐ къ ни́ма: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ска́ста менѐ; не вѣ́ста ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ тѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, досто́итъ бы́ти мѝ;
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
49 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί ὅτι ἐζητεῖτέ με; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι ἐν τοῖς τοῦ πατρός μου δεῖ εἶναί με;
50 И҆ та̑ не разꙋмѣ́ста гл҃го́ла, є҆го́же гл҃а и҆́ма.
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
50 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐ συνῆκαν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς.
51 И҆ сни́де съ ни́ма и҆ прїи́де въ назаре́тъ: и҆ бѣ̀ повинꙋ́ѧсѧ и҆́ма. И҆ мт҃и є҆гѡ̀ соблюда́ше всѧ̑ гл҃го́лы сїѧ̑ въ срⷣцы свое́мъ.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
51 καὶ κατέβη μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ναζαρέτ, καὶ ἦν ὑποτασσόμενος αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ διετήρει πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.
52 И҆ і҆и҃съ преспѣва́ше премⷣростїю и҆ во́зрастомъ и҆ блгⷣтїю ᲂу҆ бг҃а и҆ человѣ̑къ.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
52 Καὶ Ἰησοῦς προέκοπτε σοφίᾳ καὶ ἡλικίᾳ καὶ χάριτι παρὰ Θεῷ καὶ ἀνθρώποις.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Luke 2:14: “good will toward men” or “peace to men of good will”?
The angels’ song differs by a single Greek letter. Most manuscripts, the Patriarchal Text and the Orthodox Doxology read eudokia: “glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Several of the oldest manuscripts read eudokias: “peace among men of his good pleasure,” which the Latin rendered “men of good will.” Both readings place the source of peace in God’s favour.
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).
The production, again, of the Duodecad of the Æons, is indicated by the fact that the Lord was twelve years of age when He disputed with the teachers of the law, and by the election of the apostles, for of these there were twelve.
In Thy good pleasure lies our peace. The body by its own weight gravitates towards its own place.

See, for instance, what saith the Virgin even to Himself: "Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee." For if this suspicion had been entertained, neither would He any longer have been accounted to be a Son of David, and this opinion not being held, many other evils besides would have arisen.

For we shall not tolerate the heretics who sever the Old Testament from the New, but shall believe Christ, who says concerning the temple, Wist ye not that I must be in My Father's house?

For how are angels to cry "Glory to God in the highest" without being empowered by the Spirit?
