1 І҆и҃съ же и҆спо́лнь дх҃а ст҃а возврати́сѧ ѿ і҆ѻрда́на: и҆ ведѧ́шесѧ дх҃омъ въ пꙋсты́ню,
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
2 дні́й четы́ридесѧть и҆скꙋша́емь ѿ дїа́вола: и҆ не ꙗ҆́стъ ничесѡ́же во дни̑ ты̑ѧ: и҆ сконча́вшымсѧ и҆̀мъ, послѣдѝ взалка̀.
2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
3 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дїа́волъ: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, рцы̀ ка́меневи семꙋ̀, да бꙋ́детъ хлѣ́бъ.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ къ немꙋ̀, гл҃ѧ: пи́сано є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ хлѣ́бѣ є҆ди́нѣмъ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ, но ѡ҆ всѧ́цѣмъ гл҃го́лѣ бж҃їи.
4 Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
5 И҆ возве́дъ є҆го̀ дїа́волъ на горꙋ̀ высокꙋ̀, показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑ ца̑рствїѧ вселе́нныѧ въ часѣ̀ вре́меннѣ,
5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дїа́волъ: тебѣ̀ да́мъ вла́сть сїю̀ всю̀ и҆ сла́вꙋ и҆́хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ мнѣ̀ пре́дана є҆́сть, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще хощꙋ̀, да́мъ ю҆̀:
6 The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.
7 ты̀ ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́ще поклони́шисѧ предо мно́ю, бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ всѧ̑.
7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
8 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: и҆дѝ за мно́ю, сатано̀: пи́сано є҆́сть: поклони́шисѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀, и҆ томꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ послꙋ́жиши.
8 Jesus answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
9 И҆ ведѐ є҆го̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ на крилѣ̀ церко́внѣмъ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, ве́рзисѧ ѿсю́дꙋ до́лꙋ:
9 He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
10 пи́сано бо є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лѡмъ свои̑мъ заповѣ́сть ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ сохрани́ти тѧ̀:
10 for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’
11 и҆ на рꙋка́хъ во́змꙋтъ тѧ̀, да не когда̀ преткне́ши ѡ҆ ка́мень но́гꙋ твою̀.
11 and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
12 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рече́но є҆́сть: не и҆скꙋ́сиши гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀.
12 Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 И҆ сконча́въ всѐ и҆скꙋше́нїе дїа́волъ, ѿи́де ѿ негѡ̀ до вре́мене.
13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 И҆ возврати́сѧ і҆и҃съ въ си́лѣ дх҃о́внѣй въ галїле́ю: и҆ вѣ́сть и҆зы́де по все́й странѣ̀ ѡ҆ не́мъ.
14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
15 И҆ то́й ᲂу҆ча́ше на со́нмищихъ и҆́хъ, сла́вимь всѣ́ми.
15 He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 И҆ прїи́де въ назаре́тъ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ воспита́нъ: и҆ вни́де, по ѡ҆бы́чаю своемꙋ̀, въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный въ со́нмище, и҆ воста̀ честѝ.
16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 И҆ да́ша є҆мꙋ̀ кни́гꙋ и҆са́їи прⷪ҇ро́ка: и҆ разгнꙋ́въ кни́гꙋ, ѡ҆брѣ́те мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ напи́сано:
17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18 дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень на мнѣ̀: є҆гѡ́же ра́ди пома́за мѧ̀ бл҃говѣсти́ти ни́щымъ, посла́ мѧ и҆сцѣли́ти сокрꙋшє́нныѧ се́рдцемъ, проповѣ́дати плѣнє́ннымъ ѿпꙋще́нїе и҆ слѣпы̑мъ прозрѣ́нїе, ѿпꙋсти́ти сокрꙋшє́нныѧ во ѿра́дꙋ,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
19 проповѣ́дати лѣ́то гдⷭ҇не прїѧ́тно.
19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 И҆ согнꙋ́въ кни́гꙋ, ѿда́въ слꙋзѣ̀, сѣ́де: и҆ всѣ̑мъ въ со́нмищи ѻ҆́чи бѣ́хꙋ зрѧ́ще на́нь.
20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 И҆ нача́тъ гл҃ати къ ни̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дне́сь сбы́стсѧ писа́нїе сїѐ во ᲂу҆́шїю ва́шєю.
21 He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 И҆ всѝ свидѣ́тельствовахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ блгⷣти, и҆сходѧ́щихъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: не се́й ли є҆́сть сн҃ъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ;
22 All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
23 И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: всѧ́кѡ рече́те мѝ при́тчꙋ сїю̀: врачꙋ̀, и҆сцѣли́сѧ са́мъ: є҆ли̑ка слы́шахомъ бы̑вшаѧ въ капернаꙋ́мѣ, сотворѝ и҆ здѣ̀ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ.
23 He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”
24 Рече́ же: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никото́рый прⷪ҇ро́къ прїѧ́тенъ є҆́сть во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ:
24 He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
25 пои́стиннѣ же гл҃ю ва́мъ: мнѡ́ги вдови̑цы бѣ́ша во дни̑ и҆лїины̑ во і҆и҃ли, є҆гда̀ заключи́сѧ не́бо трѝ лѣ̑та и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сть гла́дъ вели́къ по все́й землѝ:
25 But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
26 и҆ ни ко є҆ди́нѣй и҆́хъ по́сланъ бы́сть и҆лїа̀, то́кмѡ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю къ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ:
26 Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 и҆ мно́зи прокаже́ни бѣ́хꙋ при є҆лїссе́и прⷪ҇ро́цѣ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ ѡ҆чи́стисѧ, то́кмѡ неема́нъ сѷрїани́нъ.
27 There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”
28 И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆́рости въ со́нмищи, слы́шавшїи сїѧ̑:
28 They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.
29 и҆ воста́вше и҆згна́ша є҆го̀ во́нъ и҆з̾ гра́да, и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ до верхꙋ̀ горы̀, на не́йже гра́дъ и҆́хъ со́зданъ бѧ́ше, да бы́ша є҆го̀ низри́нꙋли:
29 They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
30 ѻ҆́нъ же проше́дъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆дѧ́ше.
30 But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.
31 И҆ сни́де въ капернаꙋ́мъ гра́дъ галїле́йскїй: и҆ бѣ̀ ᲂу҆чѧ̀ и҆̀хъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты.
31 He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
32 И҆ ᲂу҆жаса́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ со вла́стїю бѣ̀ сло́во є҆гѡ̀.
32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
33 И҆ въ со́нмищи бѣ̀ человѣ́къ и҆мы́й дꙋ́ха бѣ́са нечи́ста, и҆ возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ,
33 In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 глаго́лѧ: ѡ҆ста́ви, что̀ на́мъ и҆ тебѣ̀, і҆и҃се назарѧни́не; прише́лъ є҆сѝ погꙋби́ти на́съ: вѣ́мъ тѧ̀, кто̀ є҆сѝ, ст҃ы́й бж҃їй.
34 saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
35 И҆ запретѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ, гл҃ѧ: премолчѝ и҆ и҆зы́ди и҆з̾ негѡ̀. И҆ пове́ргъ є҆го̀ бѣ́съ посредѣ̀, и҆зы́де и҆з̾ негѡ̀, ника́коже вреди́въ є҆го̀.
35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
36 И҆ бы́сть ᲂу҆́жасъ на всѣ́хъ, и҆ стѧза́хꙋсѧ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ, глаго́люще: что̀ сло́во сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́стїю и҆ си́лою вели́тъ нечи̑стымъ дꙋховѡ́мъ, и҆ и҆схо́дѧтъ;
36 Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37 И҆ и҆схожда́ше гла́съ ѡ҆ не́мъ во всѧ́ко мѣ́сто страны̀.
37 News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
38 Воста́въ же и҆з̾ со́нмища, вни́де въ до́мъ сі́мѡновъ: те́ща же сі́мѡнова бѣ̀ ѡ҆держи́ма ѻ҆гне́мъ ве́лїимъ: и҆ моли́ша є҆го̀ ѡ҆ не́й.
38 He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.
39 И҆ ста́въ над̾ не́ю, запретѝ ѻ҆гню̀, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ю҆̀. А҆́бїе же воста́вши слꙋжа́ше и҆̀мъ.
39 He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
40 Заходѧ́щꙋ же со́лнцꙋ, всѝ, є҆ли́цы и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ болѧ́щыѧ недꙋ̑ги разли́чными, привожда́хꙋ и҆̀хъ къ немꙋ̀: ѻ҆́нъ же на є҆ди́наго коего́ждо и҆́хъ рꙋ́цѣ возло́жь, и҆сцѣлѧ́ше и҆̀хъ.
40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 И҆схожда́хꙋ же и҆ бѣ́си ѿ мно́гихъ, вопїю́ще и҆ глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ хрⷭ҇то́съ сн҃ъ бж҃їй. И҆ запреща́ѧ не даѧ́ше и҆̀мъ глаго́лати, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́дѧхꙋ хрⷭ҇та̀ самаго̀ сꙋ́ща.
41 Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Бы́вшꙋ же дню̀, и҆зше́дъ и҆́де въ пꙋ́сто мѣ́сто: и҆ наро́ди и҆ска́хꙋ є҆го̀, и҆ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆держава́хꙋ є҆го̀, дабы̀ не ѿше́лъ ѿ ни́хъ.
42 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.
43 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ дрꙋги̑мъ градовѡ́мъ бл҃говѣсти́ти мѝ подоба́етъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе: ꙗ҆́кѡ на сѐ по́сланъ є҆́смь.
43 But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”
44 И҆ бѣ̀ проповѣ́даѧ на со́нмищихъ галїле́йскихъ.
44 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 4:18 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXI)

    For this reason, too, did the Lord Himself read at Capernaum the prophecies of Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me; to preach the Gospel to the poor hath He sent Me, to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind." At the same time, showing that …
