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 И҆ є҆гда̀ прибли́жи[ша]сѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, въ виѳсфагі́ю и҆ виѳа́нїю, къ горѣ̀ є҆леѡ́нстѣй, посла̀ два̀ ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ свои́хъ
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
1 Καὶ ὅτε ἐγγίζουσιν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Βηθσφαγῆ καὶ Βηθανίαν πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν, ἀποστέλλει δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ
2 и҆ гл҃а и҆́ма: и҆ди́та въ ве́сь, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть прѧ́мѡ ва́ма: и҆ а҆́бїе вхѡдѧ́ща въ ню̀, ѡ҆брѧ́щета жребѧ̀ привѧ́зано, на не́же никто́же ѿ человѣ̑къ всѣ́де: ѿрѣ̑шша є҆̀, приведи́та:
2 and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
2 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κώμην τὴν κατέναντι ὑμῶν, καὶ εὐθέως εἰσπορευόμενοι εἰς αὐτὴν εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον, ἐφ᾽ ὃν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων κεκάθικε· λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε.
3 и҆ а҆́ще кто̀ ва́ма рече́тъ: что̀ твори́та сїѐ; рцы́та, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь тре́бꙋетъ є҆̀: и҆ а҆́бїе по́слетъ є҆̀ сѣ́мѡ.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
3 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ· τί ποιεῖτε τοῦτο; εἴπατε ὅτι ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει, καὶ εὐθέως αὐτὸν ἀποστέλλει πάλιν ὧδε.
4 И҆до́ста же, и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ста жребѧ̀ привѧ́зано при две́рехъ внѣ̀ на распꙋ́тїи, и҆ ѿрѣши́ста є҆̀.
4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
4 ἀπῆλθον δὲ καὶ εὗρον τὸν πῶλον δεδεμένον πρὸς τὴν θύραν ἔξω ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου, καὶ λύουσιν αὐτόν.
5 И҆ нѣ́цыи ѿ стоѧ́щихъ тꙋ̀ глаго́лахꙋ и҆́ма: что̀ дѣ́ета ѿрѣша̑юща жребѧ̀;
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
5 καί τινες τῶν ἐκεῖ ἑστηκότων ἔλεγον αὐτοῖς· τί ποιεῖτε λύοντες τὸν πῶλον;
6 Ѡ҆́на же рѣ́ста и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆́ма і҆и҃съ: и҆ ѡ҆ста́виша ѧ҆̀.
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
6 οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτοῖς καθὼς ἐνετείλατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἀφῆκαν αὐτούς.
7 И҆ приведо́ста жребѧ̀ ко і҆и҃сови: и҆ возложи́ша на нѐ ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ всѣ́де на нѐ.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
7 καὶ ἤγαγον τὸν πῶλον πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐπέβαλον αὐτῷ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ.
8 Мно́зи же ри̑зы своѧ̑ постла́ша по пꙋтѝ: дрꙋзі́и же ва̑їа рѣ́захꙋ ѿ дре́вїѧ и҆ постила́хꙋ по пꙋтѝ.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
8 πολλοὶ δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ἔστρωσαν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν, ἄλλοι δὲ στοιβάδας ἔκοπτον ἐκ τῶν δένδρων καὶ ἐστρώννυον εἰς τὴν ὁδόν.
9 И҆ предходѧ́щїи и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ грѧдꙋ́щїи вопїѧ́хꙋ, глаго́люще: ѡ҆са́нна, блгⷭ҇ве́нъ грѧды́й во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не,
9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
9 καὶ οἱ προάγοντες καὶ οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἔκραζον λέγοντες· ὡσαννά, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
10 блгⷭ҇ве́но грѧдꙋ́щее црⷭ҇тво во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ дв҃да: ѡ҆са́нна въ вы́шнихъ.
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 εὐλογημένη ἡ ἐρχομένη βασιλεία ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ πατρός ἡμῶν Δαυΐδ· ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις.
11 И҆ вни́де во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ і҆и҃съ и҆ въ це́рковь: и҆ соглѧ́давъ всѧ̑, по́здѣ ᲂу҆жѐ сꙋ́щꙋ часꙋ̀, и҆зы́де въ виѳа́нїю со ѻ҆бѣмана́десѧте.
11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
11 Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἰς τὸ ἱερόν· καὶ περιβλεψάμενος πάντα, ὀψίας ἤδη οὔσης τῆς ὥρας, ἐξῆλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα.
12 И҆ наꙋ́трїе и҆зше́дшымъ и҆̀мъ ѿ виѳа́нїи, взалка̀:
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
12 Καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Βηθανίας ἐπείνασε·
13 и҆ ви́дѣвъ смоко́вницꙋ и҆здале́ча, и҆мꙋ́щꙋ ли́ствїе, прїи́де, а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ что̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ на не́й: и҆ прише́дъ къ не́й, ничесѡ́же ѡ҆брѣ́те, то́кмѡ ли́ствїе: не ᲂу҆̀ бо бѣ̀ вре́мѧ смо́квамъ.
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
13 καὶ ἰδὼν συκῆν ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔχουσαν φύλλα, ἦλθεν εἰ ἄρα τι εὑρήσει ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν οὐδὲν εὗρεν εἰ μὴ φύλλα· οὐ γὰρ ἦν καιρὸς σύκων.
14 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ є҆́й: да не ктомꙋ̀ ѿ тебє̀ во вѣ́ки никто́же плода̀ снѣ́сть. И҆ слы́шахꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀.
14 Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.
14 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· μηκέτι ἐκ σοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μηδεὶς καρπὸν φάγοι. καὶ ἤκουον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
15 И҆ прїидо́ша (па́ки) во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ. И҆ вше́дъ і҆и҃съ въ це́рковь, нача́тъ и҆згони́ти продаю́щыѧ и҆ кꙋпꙋ́ющыѧ въ це́ркви: и҆ трапє́зы торжникѡ́мъ и҆ сѣда̑лища продаю́щихъ гѡ́лꙋби и҆спрове́рже:
15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
15 Καὶ ἔρχονται πάλιν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα· καὶ εἰσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ τοὺς ἀγοράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ τὰς τραπέζας τῶν κολλυβιστῶν καὶ τὰς καθέδρας τῶν πωλούντων τὰς περιστερὰς κατέστρεψε,
16 и҆ не даѧ́ше, да кто̀ мимонесе́тъ сосꙋ́дъ сквозѣ̀ це́рковь.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
16 καὶ οὐκ ἤφιεν ἵνα τις διενέγκῃ σκεῦος διὰ τοῦ ἱεροῦ,
17 И҆ ᲂу҆ча́ше, гл҃ѧ и҆̀мъ: нѣ́сть ли пи́сано, ꙗ҆́кѡ хра́мъ мо́й хра́мъ моли́твы нарече́тсѧ всѣ̑мъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ; вы́ же сотвори́сте є҆го̀ верте́пъ разбо́йникѡмъ.
17 He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”
17 καὶ ἐδίδασκε λέγων αὐτοῖς· οὐ γέγραπται ὅτι ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν; ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
18 И҆ слы́шаша кни́жницы и҆ а҆рхїере́є, и҆ и҆ска́хꙋ, ка́кѡ є҆го̀ погꙋбѧ́тъ: боѧ́хꙋбосѧ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ве́сь наро́дъ дивлѧ́шесѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
18 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, καὶ ἐζήτουν πῶς αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ αὐτόν, ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ.
19 И҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ по́здѣ бы́сть, и҆схожда́ше во́нъ и҆з̾ гра́да.
19 When evening came, he went out of the city.
19 καὶ ὅτε ὀψὲ ἐγένετο, ἐξεπορεύετο ἔξω τῆς πόλεως.
20 И҆ ᲂу҆́трѡ мимоходѧ́ще, ви́дѣша смоко́вницꙋ и҆зсо́хшꙋ и҆з̾ коре́нїѧ.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
20 Καὶ παραπορευόμενοι πρωῒ εἶδον τὴν συκῆν ἐξηραμμένην ἐκ ῥιζῶν.
21 И҆ воспомѧнꙋ́въ пе́тръ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: равві̀, ви́ждь, смоко́вница, ю҆́же проклѧ́лъ є҆сѝ, ᲂу҆́сше.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
21 καὶ ἀναμνησθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος λέγει αὐτῷ· ῥαββί, ἴδε ἡ συκῆ ἣν κατηράσω ἐξήρανται.
22 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ гл҃а и҆̀мъ:
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
22 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἔχετε πίστιν Θεοῦ.
23 и҆мѣ́йте вѣ́рꙋ бж҃їю: а҆ми́нь бо гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ, и҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ горѣ̀ се́й: дви́гнисѧ и҆ ве́рзисѧ въ мо́ре: и҆ не размы́слитъ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ, но вѣ́рꙋ и҆́метъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́же глаго́летъ, быва́етъ: бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ:
23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
23 ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ, ἄρθητι καὶ βλήθητι εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ μὴ διακριθῇ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ πιστεύσει ὅτι ἃ λέγει γίνεται, ἔσται αὐτῷ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ.
24 сегѡ̀ ра́ди гл҃ю ва́мъ: всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще молѧ́щесѧ про́сите, вѣ́рꙋйте, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїе́млете: и҆ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ:
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
24 διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, πάντα ὅσα ἂν προσευχόμενοι αἰτεῖσθε, πιστεύετε ὅτι λαμβάνετε, καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν.
25 и҆ є҆гда̀ стоитѐ молѧ́щесѧ, ѿпꙋща́йте, а҆́ще что̀ и҆́мате на кого̀, да и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ, и҆́же є҆́сть на нб҃сѣ́хъ, ѿпꙋ́ститъ ва́мъ согрѣшє́нїѧ ва̑ша:
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
25 καὶ ὅταν στήκητε προσευχόμενοι, ἀφίετε εἴ τι ἔχετε κατά τινος, ἵνα καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἀφῇ ὑμῖν τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν.
26 а҆́ще ли же вы̀ не ѿпꙋща́ете, ни ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ, и҆́же є҆́сть на нб҃сѣ́хъ, ѿпꙋ́ститъ ва́мъ согрѣше́нїй ва́шихъ.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
26 εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀφίετε, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν.
27 И҆ прїидо́ша па́ки во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ. И҆ въ це́ркви ходѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀ а҆рхїере́є и҆ кни́жницы и҆ ста́рцы
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
27 Καὶ ἔρχονται πάλιν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ περιπατοῦντος αὐτοῦ ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι
28 и҆ глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: ко́ею ѡ҆́бластїю сїѧ̑ твори́ши; и҆ кто̀ тѝ ѡ҆́бласть сїю̀ дадѐ, да сїѧ̑ твори́ши;
28 and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
28 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς; ἢ τίς σοι ἔδωκε τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην ἵνα ταῦτα ποιῇς;
29 І҆и҃съ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: вопрошꙋ́ вы и҆ а҆́зъ словесѐ є҆ди́нагѡ, и҆ ѿвѣща́йте мѝ: и҆ рекꙋ̀ ва́мъ, ко́ею ѡ҆́бластїю сїѧ̑ творю̀:
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
29 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἐπερωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ ἕνα λόγον, καὶ ἀποκρίθητέ μοι, καὶ ἐρῶ ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.
30 кр҃ще́нїе і҆ѡа́нново съ нб҃се́ ли бѣ̀, и҆лѝ ѿ человѣ̑къ; ѿвѣща́йте мѝ.
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
30 τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἦν ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων; ἀποκρίθητέ μοι.
31 И҆ мы́слѧхꙋ въ себѣ̀, глаго́люще: а҆́ще рече́мъ, съ нб҃сѐ, рече́тъ: почто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо не вѣ́ровасте є҆мꙋ̀;
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
31 καὶ ἐλογίζοντο πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες· ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ· διατί οὖν οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ;
32 но а҆́ще рече́мъ, ѿ человѣ̑къ: боѧ́хꙋсѧ люді́й: вси́ бо и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ і҆ѡа́нна, ꙗ҆́кѡ вои́стиннꙋ прⷪ҇ро́къ бѣ̀.
32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
32 ἀλλὰ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων; — ἐφοβοῦντο τὸν λαόν· ἅπαντες γὰρ εἶχον τὸν Ἰωάννην ὅτι προφήτης ἦν.
33 И҆ ѿвѣща́вше глаго́лаша і҆и҃сови: не вѣ́мы. И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: ни а҆́зъ гл҃ю ва́мъ, ко́ею ѡ҆́бластїю сїѧ̑ творю̀.
33 They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
33 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσι τῷ Ἰησοῦ· οὐκ οἴδαμεν. καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.

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).
But to this is added, that as we read it in the narrative of the other Evangelist who expressly mentions this, "it was not the time for that fruit." For that was the time when the fig-tree shoots forth its tender leaves, which come, we know, before the fruit; and this we prove, because the day of the Lord's Passion …

"And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only." Another evangelist saith, "The time of figs was not yet;" but if it was not time, how doth the other evangelist say, "He came, if haply He might find fruit thereon." Whence it is manifest that this belongs to …

For he who says that Christ only worked miracles, for the miracles' sake, may say too that He was ignorant that it was not the time for fruit, when He sought figs upon the fig-tree. For it was not the time for that fruit, as the Evangelist testifies; and yet being hungry He sought for fruit upon the tree.
