PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 И҆ вни́де па́ки въ капернаꙋ́мъ по дне́хъ: и҆ слы́шано бы́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ домꙋ̀ є҆́сть.
1 When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
1 Καὶ εἰσῆλθε πάλιν εἰς Καπερναοὺμ δι᾽ ἡμερῶν καὶ ἠκούσθη ὅτι εἰς οἶκόν ἐστι.
2 И҆ а҆́бїе собра́шасѧ мно́зи, ꙗ҆́коже ктомꙋ̀ не вмѣща́тисѧ ни при две́рехъ: и҆ гл҃аше и҆̀мъ сло́во.
2 Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
2 καὶ εὐθέως συνήχθησαν πολλοί, ὥστε μηκέτι χωρεῖν μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν· καὶ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον.
3 И҆ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀ носѧ́ще разсла́бленна (жи́лами), носи́ма четы́рьми:
3 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
3 καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτὸν παραλυτικὸν φέροντες, αἰρόμενον ὑπὸ τεσσάρων·
4 и҆ не могꙋ́щымъ прибли́житисѧ къ немꙋ̀ наро́да ра́ди, ѿкры́ша покро́въ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀, и҆ прокопа́вше свѣ́сиша ѻ҆́дръ, на не́мже разсла́бленный лежа́ше.
4 When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
4 καὶ μὴ δυνάμενοι προσεγγίσαι αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἀπεστέγασαν τὴν στέγην ὅπου ἦν, καὶ ἐξορύξαντες χαλῶσι τὸν κράβαττον, ἐφ᾽ ᾧ ὁ παραλυτικὸς κατέκειτο.
5 Ви́дѣвъ же і҆и҃съ вѣ́рꙋ и҆́хъ, гл҃а разсла́бленномꙋ: ча́до, ѿпꙋща́ютсѧ тебѣ̀ грѣсѝ твоѝ.
5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
5 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ· τέκνον, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.
6 Бѧ́хꙋ же нѣ́цыи ѿ кни̑жникъ тꙋ̀ сѣдѧ́ще и҆ помышлѧ́юще въ сердца́хъ свои́хъ:
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
6 ἦσαν δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν·
7 что̀ се́й та́кѡ гл҃етъ хꙋлы̑; кто̀ мо́жетъ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ти грѣхѝ, то́кмѡ є҆ди́нъ бг҃ъ;
7 “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
7 τί οὗτος οὕτω λαλεῖ βλασφημίας; τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός;
8 И҆ а҆́бїе разꙋмѣ́въ і҆и҃съ дх҃омъ свои́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ ті́и помышлѧ́ютъ въ себѣ̀, речѐ и҆̀мъ: что̀ сїѧ̑ помышлѧ́ете въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ;
8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
8 καὶ εὐθέως ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως αὐτοὶ διαλογίζονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ταῦτα διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
9 что̀ є҆́сть ᲂу҆до́бѣе; рещѝ разсла́бленномꙋ: ѿпꙋща́ютсѧ тебѣ̀ грѣсѝ; и҆лѝ рещѝ: воста́ни, и҆ возмѝ ѻ҆́дръ тво́й, и҆ ходѝ;
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
9 τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν τῷ παραλυτικῷ, ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει;
10 но да ᲂу҆вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть и҆́мать сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй на землѝ ѿпꙋща́ти грѣхѝ: гл҃а разсла́бленномꙋ:
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
10 ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀφιέναι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἁμαρτίας — λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ·
11 тебѣ̀ гл҃ю: воста́ни, и҆ возмѝ ѻ҆́дръ тво́й, и҆ и҆дѝ въ до́мъ тво́й.
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
11 σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.
12 И҆ воста̀ а҆́бїе, и҆ взе́мъ ѻ҆́дръ, и҆зы́де пред̾ всѣ́ми: ꙗ҆́кѡ диви́тисѧ всѣ̑мъ и҆ сла́вити бг҃а, глаго́лющымъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ николи́же та́кѡ ви́дѣхомъ.
12 He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
12 καὶ ἠγέρθη εὐθέως, καὶ ἄρας τὸν κράβαττον ἐξῆλθεν ἐναντίον πάντων, ὥστε ἐξίστασθαι πάντας καὶ δοξάζειν τὸν Θεὸν λέγοντας ὅτι οὐδέποτε οὕτως εἴδομεν.
13 И҆ и҆зы́де па́ки къ мо́рю: и҆ ве́сь наро́дъ и҆дѧ́ше къ немꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆̀хъ.
13 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
13 Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πάλιν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
14 И҆ мимогрѧды́й ви́дѣ леѵі́ю а҆лфе́ова, сѣдѧ́ща на мы́тницѣ, и҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀: по мнѣ̀ грѧдѝ. И҆ воста́въ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆́де.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
14 Καὶ παράγων εἶδε Λευῒν τὸν τοῦ Ἀλφαίου, καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι. καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
15 И҆ бы́сть возлежа́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ въ домꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ мно́зи мытари̑ и҆ грѣ̑шницы возлежа́хꙋ со і҆и҃сомъ и҆ со ᲂу҆чн҃ки̑ є҆гѡ̀: бѧ́хꙋ бо мно́зи, и҆ по не́мъ и҆до́ша.
15 He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κατακεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ συνανέκειντο τῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοί, καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
16 И҆ кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є, ви́дѣвше є҆го̀ ꙗ҆дꙋ́ща съ мытари̑ и҆ грѣ̑шники, глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ съ мытари̑ и҆ грѣ̑шники ꙗ҆́стъ и҆ пїе́тъ;
16 The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
16 καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐσθίοντα μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· τί ὅτι μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει;
17 И҆ слы́шавъ і҆и҃съ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: не тре́бꙋютъ здра̑вїи врача̀, но болѧ́щїи: не прїидо́хъ призва́ти првⷣники, но грѣ́шники на покаѧ́нїе.
17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
17 καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες· οὐκ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλοὺς εἰς μετάνοιαν.
18 И҆ бѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆ченицы̀ і҆ѡа́ннѡвы и҆ фарїсе́йстїи постѧ́щесѧ. И҆ прїидо́ша и҆ глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: почто̀ ᲂу҆ченицы̀ і҆ѡа́ннѡвы и҆ фарїсе́йстїи постѧ́тсѧ, а҆ твоѝ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ не постѧ́тсѧ;
18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
18 Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ τῶν Φαρισαίων νηστεύοντες. καὶ ἔρχονται καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διατί οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ τῶν Φαρισαίων νηστεύουσιν, οἱ δὲ σοὶ μαθηταὶ οὐ νηστεύουσι;
19 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: є҆да̀ мо́гꙋтъ сы́нове бра́чнїи, до́ндеже жени́хъ съ ни́ми є҆́сть, пости́тисѧ; є҆ли́ко вре́мѧ съ собо́ю и҆́мꙋтъ жениха̀, не мо́гꙋтъ пости́тисѧ:
19 Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος, ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐστι, νηστεύειν; ὅσον χρόνον μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν ἔχουσι τὸν νυμφίον, οὐ δύνανται νηστεύειν.
20 прїи́дꙋтъ же дні́е, є҆гда̀ ѿи́метсѧ ѿ ни́хъ жени́хъ, и҆ тогда̀ постѧ́тсѧ въ ты̑ѧ дни̑:
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
20 ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
21 и҆ никто́же приложе́нїѧ пла́та небѣ́лена пришива́етъ къ ри́зѣ ве́тсѣ: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, во́зметъ коне́цъ є҆гѡ̀ но́вое ѿ ве́тхагѡ, и҆ го́рша дира̀ бꙋ́детъ:
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
21 οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπιρράπτει ἐπὶ ἱματίῳ παλαιῷ· εἰ δὲ μήγε, αἴρει τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ καινὸν τοῦ παλαιοῦ, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
22 и҆ никто́же влива́етъ вїна̀ но́ва въ мѣ́хи вє́тхи: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, просади́тъ вїно̀ но́вое мѣ́хи, и҆ вїно̀ пролїе́тсѧ, и҆ мѣ́си поги́бнꙋтъ: но вїно̀ но́вое въ мѣ́хи нѡ́вы влїѧ́ти.
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
22 καὶ οὐδεὶς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μή, ῥήσσει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τοὺς ἀσκούς, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἐκχεῖται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοὶ ἀπολοῦνται· ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινοὺς βλητέον.
23 И҆ бы́сть мимоходи́ти є҆мꙋ̀ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты сквозѣ̀ сѣ̑ѧнїѧ, и҆ нача́ша ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀ пꙋ́ть твори́ти, востерза́юще кла́сы.
23 He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
23 Καὶ ἐγένετο παραπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς σάββασι διὰ τῶν σπορίμων, καὶ ἤρξαντο οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν ποιεῖν τίλλοντες τοὺς στάχυας.
24 И҆ фарїсе́є глаго́лахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀: ви́ждь, что̀ творѧ́тъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты, є҆гѡ́же не досто́итъ;
24 The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
24 καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον αὐτῷ· ἴδε τί ποιοῦσιν ἐν τοῖς σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστι.
25 И҆ то́й гл҃аше и҆̀мъ: нѣ́сте ли николи́же члѝ, что̀ сотворѝ дв҃дъ, є҆гда̀ тре́бованїе и҆мѣ̀ и҆ взалка̀ са́мъ и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ;
25 He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
25 καὶ αὐτὸς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε τί ἐποίησε Δαυῒδ ὅτε χρείαν ἔσχε καὶ ἐπείνασεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ;
26 ка́кѡ вни́де въ до́мъ бж҃їй при а҆вїаѳа́рѣ а҆рхїере́и, и҆ хлѣ́бы предложе́нїѧ снѣдѐ, и҆́хже не досто́ѧше ꙗ҆́сти то́кмѡ і҆ере́ємъ, и҆ дадѐ и҆ сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́мъ;
26 How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
26 πῶς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ Ἀβιάθαρ ἀρχιερέως καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως ἔφαγεν, οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστι φαγεῖν εἰ μὴ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ ἔδωκε καὶ τοῖς σὺν αὐτῷ οὖσι;
27 И҆ гл҃аше и҆̀мъ: сꙋббѡ́та человѣ́ка ра́ди бы́сть, а҆ не человѣ́къ сꙋббѡ́ты ра́ди:
27 He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
27 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο, οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον·
28 тѣ́мже госпо́дь є҆́сть сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй и҆ сꙋббѡ́тѣ.
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
28 ὥστε κύριός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου.

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 2:11 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXVIII)

    Thy bed did carry thee, thou carriedst not thy bed, but wast a paralytic inwardly; He cometh who saith to thee, "Take up thy bed, and go thy way into thy house." "The Lord help him on his bed of pain." Then to the Lord Himself He turneth, as though it were asked, Why then, since the Lord helpeth us, …

  2. Quotes verse 2:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIX)

    Now Matthew indeed saith, that "they brought him," but the others, that they also broke up the roof, and let him down. And they put the sick man before Christ, saying nothing, but committing the whole to Him.

  3. Quotes verse 2:19 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fourth Theological Oration, Which is the Second Concerning the Son)

    Or in another sense they are used of a thing which is not reasonable; as, Can the Children of the Bridechamber fast while the Bridegroom is with them; whether He be considered as visible in bodily form (for the time of His sojourning among us was not one of mourning, but of gladness), or, as the Word.

  4. Quotes verse 2:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIX)

    Upon their murmuring, then, and saying, "This man blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?" let us see what He saith.

  5. Quotes verse 2:14 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXX)

    And we have cause also to admire the self-denial of the evangelist, how he disguises not his own former life, but adds even his name, when the others had concealed him under another appellation. But why did he say he was "sitting at the receipt of custom?" To indicate the power of Him that called him, that it was not …
