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 бы́сть, є҆гда̀ совершѝ і҆и҃съ заповѣ́даѧ ѻ҆бѣмана́десѧте ᲂу҆чн҃ко́ма свои́ма, пре́йде ѿтꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆чи́ти и҆ проповѣ́дати во градѣ́хъ и҆́хъ.
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 І҆ѡа́ннъ же слы́шавъ во ᲂу҆зи́лищи дѣла̀ хрⷭ҇тѡ́ва, посла̀ два̀ ѿ ᲂу҆чени́къ свои́хъ,
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3 речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ты́ ли є҆сѝ грѧды́й, и҆лѝ и҆но́гѡ ча́емъ;
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
4 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ и҆́ма: шє́дша возвѣсти́та і҆ѡа́ннови, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шита и҆ ви́дита:
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 слѣпі́и прозира́ютъ и҆ хро́мїи хо́дѧтъ, прокаже́ннїи ѡ҆чища́ютсѧ и҆ глꙋсі́и слы́шатъ, ме́ртвїи востаю́тъ и҆ ни́щїи благовѣствꙋ́ютъ:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 и҆ бл҃же́нъ є҆́сть, и҆́же а҆́ще не соблазни́тсѧ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
7 Тѣ́ма же и҆сходѧ́щема, нача́тъ і҆и҃съ наро́дѡмъ гл҃ати ѡ҆ і҆ѡа́ннѣ: чесѡ̀ и҆зыдо́сте въ пꙋсты́ню ви́дѣти; тро́сть ли вѣ́тромъ коле́блемꙋ;
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Но чесѡ̀ и҆зыдо́сте ви́дѣти; человѣ́ка ли въ мѧ̑гки ри̑зы ѡ҆блече́нна; Сѐ, и҆̀же мѧ̑гкаѧ носѧ́щїи, въ домѣ́хъ ца́рскихъ сꙋ́ть.
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 Но чесѡ̀ и҆зыдо́сте ви́дѣти; прⷪ҇ро́ка ли; Є҆́й, гл҃ю ва́мъ, и҆ ли́шше прⷪ҇ро́ка.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 Се́й бо є҆́сть, ѡ҆ не́мже є҆́сть пи́сано: сѐ, а҆́зъ посыла́ю а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆́же ᲂу҆гото́витъ пꙋ́ть тво́й пред̾ тобо́ю.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
11 А҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, не воста̀ въ рожде́нныхъ жена́ми бо́лїй і҆ѡа́нна крⷭ҇ти́телѧ: мні́й же во црⷭ҇твїи нбⷭ҇нѣмъ бо́лїй є҆гѡ̀ є҆́сть.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
12 Ѿ дні́й же і҆ѡа́нна крⷭ҇ти́телѧ досе́лѣ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное нꙋ́дитсѧ, и҆ нꙋ́ждницы восхища́ютъ є҆̀:
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 вси́ бо прⷪ҇ро́цы и҆ зако́нъ до і҆ѡа́нна прореко́ша.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 И҆ а҆́ще хо́щете прїѧ́ти, то́й є҆́сть и҆лїа̀ хотѧ́й прїитѝ:
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Комꙋ́ же ᲂу҆подо́блю ро́дъ се́й; Подо́бенъ є҆́сть дѣ́темъ сѣдѧ́щымъ на то́ржищихъ, и҆ возглаша́ющымъ дрꙋгѡ́мъ свои̑мъ
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 и҆ глаго́лющымъ: писка́хомъ ва́мъ, и҆ не плѧса́сте: пла́кахомъ ва́мъ, и҆ не рыда́сте.
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
18 Прїи́де бо і҆ѡа́ннъ ни ꙗ҆ды́й, ни пїѧ́й: и҆ глаго́лютъ: бѣ́са и҆́мать.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 Прїи́де сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй ꙗ҆ды́й и҆ пїѧ́й: и҆ глаго́лютъ: сѐ, человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́дца и҆ вїнопі́йца, мытарє́мъ дрꙋ́гъ и҆ грѣ́шникѡмъ. И҆ ѡ҆правди́сѧ премꙋ́дрость ѿ ча̑дъ свои́хъ.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
20 Тогда̀ нача́тъ і҆и҃съ поноша́ти градовѡ́мъ, въ ни́хже бы́ша мно́жайшыѧ си̑лы є҆гѡ̀, занѐ не пока́ѧшасѧ:
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
21 го́ре тебѣ̀, хоразі́не, го́ре тебѣ̀, виѳсаі́до: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще въ тѵ́рѣ и҆ сїдѡ́нѣ бы́ша си̑лы бы́ли бы́вшыѧ въ ва́съ, дре́вле ᲂу҆́бѡ во вре́тищи и҆ пе́пелѣ пока́ѧлисѧ бы́ша:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 ѻ҆ба́че гл҃ю ва́мъ тѵ́рꙋ и҆ сїдѡ́нꙋ ѿра́днѣе бꙋ́детъ въ де́нь сꙋ́дный, не́же ва́мъ.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 И҆ ты̀, капернаꙋ́ме, и҆́же до нб҃съ вознесы́йсѧ, до а҆́да сни́деши: занѐ а҆́ще въ содо́мѣхъ бы́ша си̑лы бы́ли бы́вшыѧ въ тебѣ̀, пребы́ли ᲂу҆́бѡ бы́ша до дне́шнѧгѡ днѐ:
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
24 ѻ҆ба́че гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ землѝ содо́мстѣй ѿра́днѣе бꙋ́детъ въ де́нь сꙋ́дный, не́же тебѣ̀.
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
25 Въ то̀ вре́мѧ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ: и҆сповѣ́даютисѧ, ѻ҆́ч҃е, гдⷭ҇и нб҃сѐ и҆ землѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆таи́лъ є҆сѝ сїѧ̑ ѿ премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ разꙋ́мныхъ и҆ ѿкры́лъ є҆сѝ та̑ младе́нцємъ:
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
26 є҆́й, ѻ҆́ч҃е, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ бы́сть бл҃говоле́нїе пред̾ тобо́ю.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Всѧ̑ мнѣ̀ прє́дана сꙋ́ть ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ мои́мъ: и҆ никто́же зна́етъ сн҃а, то́кмѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ: ни ѻ҆ц҃а̀ кто̀ зна́етъ, то́кмѡ сн҃ъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще во́литъ сн҃ъ ѿкры́ти.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
28 Прїиди́те ко мнѣ̀ всѝ трꙋжда́ющїисѧ и҆ ѡ҆бремене́ннїи, и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆поко́ю вы̀:
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 возми́те и҆́го моѐ на себѐ и҆ наꙋчи́тесѧ ѿ менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ кро́токъ є҆́смь и҆ смире́нъ срⷣцемъ: и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете поко́й дꙋша́мъ ва́шымъ:
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
30 и҆́го бо моѐ бл҃го, и҆ бре́мѧ моѐ легко̀ є҆́сть.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

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 lesson of the Holy Gospel has set before us a question touching John the Baptist. May the Lord assist me to resolve it to you, as He hath resolved it to us.

That is, after He had sent them, He proceeded to withdraw Himself, to give them room and opportunity to do what He had enjoined. For while He was present and healing, no one would be willing to approach them.

… the Christ, because the Jews knew not what the Father was, and what the Son, in like manner accused them; and Himself said, "No one knoweth the Father, but the Son; nor the Son, but the Father, and they to whom the Son revealeth Him." Now the Word of God is His Son, as we have before said.
And again, when He said, "Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, and learn of Me," He announced the Father of truth.
"Because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes;" that they "that labour and are heavy laden" might "come" unto Him and He might refresh them, because He is "meek and lowly in heart." "The meek will He guide in judgment; and the meek will He teach His way;" looking upon our …
