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 Зача́ло є҆ѵⷢ҇лїа і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, сн҃а бж҃їѧ,
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано во прⷪ҇ро́цѣхъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ посыла́ю а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆́же ᲂу҆гото́витъ пꙋ́ть тво́й пред̾ тобо́ю.
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
3 Гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ въ пꙋсты́ни: ᲂу҆гото́вайте пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень, пра̑вы твори́те стєзѝ є҆гѡ̀.
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
4 Бы́сть і҆ѡа́ннъ крестѧ́й въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ проповѣ́даѧ кр҃ще́нїе покаѧ́нїѧ во ѿпꙋще́нїе грѣхѡ́въ.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 И҆ и҆схожда́ше къ немꙋ̀ всѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́йскаѧ страна̀ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧне: и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ всѝ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ рѣцѣ̀ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆сповѣ́дающе грѣхѝ своѧ̑.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Бѣ́ же і҆ѡа́ннъ ѡ҆болче́нъ власы̑ вельблꙋ̑жди, и҆ по́ѧсъ ᲂу҆сме́нъ ѡ҆ чре́слѣхъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆ды́й а҆крі̑ды и҆ ме́дъ ди́вїй.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 И҆ проповѣ́даше, глаго́лѧ: грѧде́тъ крѣ́плїй менє̀ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀, є҆мꙋ́же нѣ́смь досто́инъ прекло́ньсѧ разрѣши́ти реме́нь сапѡ́гъ є҆гѡ̀:
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 а҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ крести́хъ вы̀ водо́ю: то́й же крⷭ҇ти́тъ вы̀ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 И҆ бы́сть во ѻ҆́нѣхъ дне́хъ, прїи́де і҆и҃съ ѿ назаре́та галїле́йскагѡ и҆ крⷭ҇ти́сѧ ѿ і҆ѡа́нна во і҆ѻрда́нѣ.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 И҆ а҆́бїе восходѧ̀ ѿ воды̀, ви́дѣ разводѧ̑щасѧ небеса̀ и҆ дх҃а ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбѧ, сходѧ́ща на́нь.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 И҆ гла́съ бы́сть съ небесѐ: ты̀ є҆сѝ сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ не́мже бл҃говоли́хъ.
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 И҆ а҆́бїе дх҃ъ и҆зведѐ є҆го̀ въ пꙋсты́ню.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
13 И҆ бѣ̀ тꙋ̀ въ пꙋсты́ни дні́й четы́редесѧть, и҆скꙋша́емь сатано́ю, и҆ бѣ̀ со ѕвѣрьмѝ: и҆ а҆́гг҃ли слꙋжа́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀.
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
14 По преда́нїи же і҆ѡа́нновѣ, прїи́де і҆и҃съ въ галїле́ю, проповѣ́даѧ є҆ѵⷢ҇лїе црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
15 и҆ гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆спо́лнисѧ вре́мѧ и҆ прибли́жисѧ црⷭтвїе бж҃їе: пока́йтесѧ и҆ вѣ́рꙋйте во є҆ѵⷢ҇лїе.
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16 Ходѧ́ же при мо́ри галїле́йстѣмъ, ви́дѣ сі́мѡна и҆ а҆ндре́а бра́та (тогѡ̀) сі́мѡна, вмета̑юща мрє́жи въ мо́ре: бѣ́ста бо ры̑барѧ.
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 И҆ речѐ и҆́ма і҆и҃съ: прїиди́та в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀, и҆ сотворю̀ ва́съ бы́ти ловца̑ человѣ́кѡмъ.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
18 И҆ а҆́бїе ѡ҆ста̑вльша мрє́жи своѧ̑, по не́мъ и҆до́ста.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 И҆ преше́дъ ма́лѡ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, ᲂу҆зрѣ̀ і҆а́кѡва зеведе́ова и҆ і҆ѡа́нна бра́та є҆гѡ̀, и҆ та̑ въ кораблѝ стрѡ́ѧща мрє́жа:
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 и҆ а҆́бїе воззва̀ ѧ҆̀. И҆ ѡ҆ста̑вльша ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ зеведе́а въ кораблѝ съ нає́мники, по не́мъ и҆до́ста.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 И҆ внидо́ша въ капернаꙋ́мъ: и҆ а҆́бїе въ сꙋббѡ̑ты вше́дъ въ со́нмище, ᲂу҆ча́ше.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 И҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀: бѣ́ бо ᲂу҆чѧ̀ и҆̀хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть и҆мы́й, и҆ не ꙗ҆́кѡ кни́жницы.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 И҆ бѣ̀ въ со́нмищи и҆́хъ человѣ́къ въ дꙋ́сѣ нечи́стѣ, и҆ воззва̀,
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 глаго́лѧ: ѡ҆ста́ви, что̀ на́мъ и҆ тебѣ̀, і҆и҃се назарѧни́не; прише́лъ є҆сѝ погꙋби́ти на́съ: вѣ́мъ тѧ̀, кто̀ є҆сѝ, ст҃ы́й бж҃їй.
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
25 И҆ запретѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ, гл҃ѧ: ᲂу҆молчѝ и҆ и҆зы́ди и҆з̾ негѡ̀.
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 И҆ стрѧсѐ є҆го̀ дꙋ́хъ нечи́стый, и҆ возопѝ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ, и҆ и҆зы́де и҆з̾ негѡ̀.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 И҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ всѝ, ꙗ҆́коже стѧза́тисѧ и҆̀мъ къ себѣ̀, глаго́лющымъ: что̀ є҆́сть сїѐ; (и҆) что̀ ᲂу҆ч҃нїе но́вое сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ по ѡ҆́бласти и҆ дꙋховѡ́мъ нечи̑стымъ вели́тъ, и҆ послꙋ́шаютъ є҆гѡ̀;
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 И҆зы́де же слꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ а҆́бїе во всю̀ странꙋ̀ галїле́йскꙋ.
28 The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
29 И҆ а҆́бїе и҆з̾ со́нмища и҆зше́дше, прїидо́ша въ до́мъ сі́мѡновъ и҆ а҆ндре́овъ со і҆а́кѡвомъ и҆ і҆ѡа́нномъ.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Те́ща же сі́мѡнова лежа́ше ѻ҆гне́мъ жего́ма: и҆ а҆́бїе глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆ не́й.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 И҆ пристꙋ́пль воздви́же ю҆̀, є҆́мь за рꙋ́кꙋ є҆ѧ̀: и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ю҆̀ ѻ҆́гнь а҆́бїе, и҆ слꙋжа́ше и҆̀мъ.
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
32 По́здѣ же бы́вшꙋ, є҆гда̀ захожда́ше со́лнце, приноша́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ всѧ̑ недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆ бѣсны̑ѧ.
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 И҆ бѣ̀ ве́сь гра́дъ собра́лсѧ къ две́ремъ.
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
34 И҆ и҆сцѣлѝ мнѡ́ги ѕлѣ̀ стра́ждꙋщыѧ разли́чными недꙋ̑ги: и҆ бѣ́сы мнѡ́ги и҆згна̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ставлѧ́ше глаго́лати бѣ́сы, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́дѧхꙋ є҆го̀ хрⷭ҇та̀ сꙋ́ща.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 И҆ ᲂу҆́трѡ, но́щи сꙋ́щей ѕѣлѡ̀, воста́въ и҆зы́де, и҆ и҆́де въ пꙋ́сто мѣ́сто, и҆ тꙋ̀ мл҃твꙋ дѣ́ѧше.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
36 И҆ гна́ша є҆го̀ сі́мѡнъ и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ:
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тше є҆го̀, глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ тебѐ и҆́щꙋтъ.
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: и҆́демъ въ бли̑жнїѧ вє́си и҆ гра́ды, да и҆ та́мѡ проповѣ́мъ: на сїе́ бо и҆зыдо́хъ.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
39 И҆ бѣ̀ проповѣ́даѧ на со́нмищихъ и҆́хъ, во все́й галїле́и, и҆ бѣ́сы и҆згонѧ̀.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 И҆ прїи́де къ немꙋ̀ прокаже́нъ, молѧ̀ є҆го̀ и҆ на колѣ̑нꙋ припа́даѧ пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ глаго́лѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ, а҆́ще хо́щеши, мо́жеши мѧ̀ ѡ҆чⷭ҇тити.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
41 І҆и҃съ же млⷭ҇рдовавъ, просте́ръ рꙋ́кꙋ, коснꙋ́сѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀: хощꙋ̀, ѡ҆чи́стисѧ.
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
42 И҆ ре́кшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, а҆́бїе ѿи́де ѿ негѡ̀ прокаже́нїе, и҆ чи́стъ бы́сть.
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
43 И҆ запре́щь є҆мꙋ̀, а҆́бїе и҆згна̀ є҆го̀:
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
44 и҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀: блюдѝ, никомꙋ́же ничесѡ́же рцы̀: но ше́дъ покажи́сѧ і҆ере́еви и҆ принесѝ за ѡ҆чище́нїе твоѐ, ꙗ҆̀же повелѣ̀ мѡѷсе́й, во свидѣ́тельство и҆̀мъ.
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
45 Ѻ҆́нъ же и҆зше́дъ нача́тъ проповѣ́дати мно́гѡ и҆ проноси́ти сло́во, ꙗ҆́коже ктомꙋ̀ не мощѝ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́вѣ во гра́дъ вни́ти: но внѣ̀ въ пꙋсты́хъ мѣ́стѣхъ бѣ̀. И҆ прихожда́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ ѿвсю́дꙋ.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.

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).
… Mark, the interpreter and follower of Peter, does thus commence his Gospel narrative: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, …
The devils themselves knew this manifestation of God so well, that they said to the Lord though clothed with the infirmity of flesh, "What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art Thou come to destroy us before the time?" From these words, it is clear that they had great knowledge, and no charity.

Having then found Him in the wilderness, and in a pathless wilderness (for that the wilderness was such, Mark hath declared, saying, that He "was with the wild beasts" ), behold with how much craft he draws near, and wickedness; and for what sort of opportunity he watches.

Wherefore Mark also says: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets." Knowing one and the same Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was announced by the prophets, who from the fruit of David's body was Emmanuel, "the messenger of great counsel of the Father;" through whom God caused …
