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.

PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Въ то̀ вре́мѧ и҆́де і҆и҃съ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты сквозѣ̀ сѣ̑ѧнїѧ: ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же є҆гѡ̀ взалка́ша и҆ нача́ша востерза́ти кла́сы и҆ ꙗ҆́сти.
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
1 Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἐπορεύθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς σάββασι διὰ τῶν σπορίμων· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπείνασαν, καὶ ἤρξαντο τίλλειν στάχυας καὶ ἐσθίειν.
2 Фарїсе́є же ви́дѣвше рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ твоѝ творѧ́тъ, є҆гѡ́же не досто́итъ твори́ти въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
2 οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἰδόντες εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ οἱ μαθηταί σου ποιοῦσιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστι ποιεῖν ἐν σαββάτῳ.
3 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: нѣ́сте ли члѝ, что̀ сотворѝ дв҃дъ, є҆гда̀ взалка̀ са́мъ и҆ сꙋ́щїи съ ни́мъ;
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
3 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τί ἐποίησε Δαυῒδ ὅτε ἐπείνασεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ;
4 ка́кѡ вни́де въ хра́мъ бж҃їй и҆ хлѣ́бы предложе́нїѧ снѣдѐ, и҆́хже не досто́йно бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́сти, ни сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́мъ, то́кмѡ і҆ере́ємъ є҆ди̑нымъ;
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
4 πῶς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως ἔφαγεν, οὓς οὐκ ἐξὸν ἦν αὐτῷ φαγεῖν οὐδὲ τοῖς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, εἰ μὴ μόνοις τοῖς ἱερεῦσι;
5 и҆лѝ нѣ́сте члѝ въ зако́нѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты свѧще́нницы въ це́ркви сꙋббѡ̑ты сквернѧ́тъ и҆ непови́нни сꙋ́ть;
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
5 ἢ οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὅτι τοῖς σάββασιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τὸ σάββατον βεβηλοῦσι, καὶ ἀναίτιοί εἰσι;
6 гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ це́ркве бо́лѣ є҆́сть здѣ̀:
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
6 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι τοῦ ἱεροῦ μεῖζόν ἐστιν ὧδε.
7 а҆́ще ли бы́сте вѣ́дали, что̀ є҆́сть: ми́лости хощꙋ̀, а҆ не же́ртвы, николи́же ᲂу҆́бѡ бы́сте ѡ҆сꙋжда́ли непови́нныхъ:
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
7 εἰ δὲ ἐγνώκειτε τί ἐστιν ἔλεον θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν, οὐκ ἂν κατεδικάσατε τοὺς ἀναιτίους.
8 госпо́дь бо є҆́сть и҆ сꙋббѡ́ты сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
8 κύριος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου.
9 И҆ преше́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, прїи́де на со́нмище и҆́хъ.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
9 Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτῶν.
10 И҆ сѐ, человѣ́къ бѣ̀ тꙋ̀, рꙋ́кꙋ и҆мы́й сꙋ́хꙋ. И҆ вопроси́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: а҆́ще досто́итъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты цѣли́ти; да на него̀ возглаго́лютъ.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
10 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐκεῖ τὴν χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν· καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰ ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασι θεραπεύειν; ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
11 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: кто̀ є҆́сть ѿ ва́съ человѣ́къ, и҆́же и҆́мать ѻ҆вча̀ є҆ди́но, и҆ а҆́ще впаде́тъ сїѐ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты въ ꙗ҆́мꙋ, не и҆́метъ ли є҆̀ и҆ и҆́зметъ;
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
11 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τίς ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ;
12 кольмѝ ᲂу҆̀бо лꙋ́чши є҆́сть человѣ́къ ѻ҆вча́те; тѣ́мже досто́итъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты добро̀ твори́ти.
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
12 πόσῳ οὖν διαφέρει ἄνθρωπος προβάτου; ὥστε ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασι καλῶς ποιεῖν.
13 Тогда̀ гл҃а человѣ́кꙋ: прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀. И҆ прострѐ: и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ цѣла̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ дрꙋга́ѧ.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
13 τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· ἔκτεινόν σου τὴν χεῖρα· καὶ ἐξέτεινε, καὶ ἀποκατεστάθη ὑγιὴς ὡς ἡ ἄλλη.
14 Фарїсе́є же ше́дше совѣ́тъ сотвори́ша на него̀, ка́кѡ є҆го̀ погꙋбѧ́тъ. І҆и҃съ же разꙋмѣ́въ ѿи́де ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
14 ἐξελθόντες δὲ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
15 И҆ по не́мъ и҆до́ша наро́ди мно́зи, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ и҆̀хъ всѣ́хъ:
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
15 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν· καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας,
16 и҆ запретѝ и҆̀мъ, да не ꙗ҆́вѣ є҆го̀ творѧ́тъ:
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
16 καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν αὐτόν,
17 ꙗ҆́кѡ да сбꙋ́детсѧ рече́нное и҆са́їемъ прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ:
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
17 ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·
18 сѐ, ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й, є҆го́же и҆зво́лихъ, возлю́бленный мо́й, на́ньже бл҃говолѝ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀: положꙋ̀ дх҃ъ мо́й на не́мъ, и҆ сꙋ́дъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ возвѣсти́тъ:
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
18 ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς μου, ὃν ᾑρέτισα, ὁ ἀγαπητός μου, εἰς ὃν εὐδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· θήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, καὶ κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγελεῖ·
19 не пререче́тъ, ни возопїе́тъ, нижѐ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ кто̀ на распꙋ́тїихъ гла́са є҆гѡ̀:
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
19 οὐκ ἐρίσει οὐδὲ κραυγάσει, οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
20 тро́сти сокрꙋше́нны не прело́митъ и҆ ле́на вне́мшасѧ не ᲂу҆гаси́тъ, до́ндеже и҆зведе́тъ въ побѣ́дꙋ сꙋ́дъ:
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
20 κάλαμον συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεάξει καὶ λίνον τυφόμενον οὐ σβέσει, ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν·
21 и҆ на и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆зы́цы ᲂу҆пова́ти и҆́мꙋтъ.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
21 καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσι.
22 Тогда̀ приведо́ша къ немꙋ̀ бѣснꙋ́ющасѧ слѣ́па и҆ нѣ́ма: и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ слѣпо́мꙋ и҆ нѣмо́мꙋ глаго́лати и҆ глѧ́дати.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
22 Τότε προσηνέχθη αὐτῷ δαιμονιζόμενος τυφλὸς καὶ κωφός, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτόν, ὥστε τὸν τυφλὸν καὶ κωφὸν καὶ λαλεῖν καὶ βλέπειν·
23 И҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ всѝ наро́ди глаго́люще: є҆да̀ се́й є҆́сть (хрⷭ҇то́съ) сн҃ъ дв҃довъ;
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
23 καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον· μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς Δαυΐδ;
24 Фарїсе́є же слы́шавше рѣ́ша: се́й не и҆зго́нитъ бѣ́сы, то́кмѡ ѡ҆ веельзевꙋ́лѣ кнѧ́зи бѣсо́встѣмъ.
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
24 οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες εἶπον· οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια εἰμὴ ἐν [τῷ] Βεελζεβούλ, ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων.
25 Вѣ́дый же і҆и҃съ мы̑сли и҆́хъ, речѐ и҆̀мъ: всѧ́кое ца́рство раздѣ́льшеесѧ на сѧ̀ запꙋстѣ́етъ, и҆ всѧ́къ гра́дъ и҆лѝ до́мъ раздѣли́выйсѧ на сѧ̀ не ста́нетъ.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
25 εἰδὼς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πᾶσα βασιλεία μερισθεῖσα καθ᾽ ἑαυτὴν ἐρημοῦται, καὶ πᾶσα πόλις ἢ οἰκία μερισθεῖσα καθ᾽ ἑαυτὴν οὐ σταθήσεται.
26 И҆ а҆́ще сатана̀ сатанꙋ̀ и҆зго́нитъ, на сѧ̀ раздѣли́лсѧ є҆́сть: ка́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо ста́нетъ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀;
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
26 καὶ εἰ ὁ σατανᾶς τὸν σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλει, ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὸν ἐμερίσθη· πῶς οὖν σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ;
27 И҆ а҆́ще а҆́зъ ѡ҆ веельзевꙋ́лѣ и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы, сы́нове ва́ши ѡ҆ ко́мъ и҆зго́нѧтъ; сегѡ̀ ра́ди ті́и ва́мъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ сꙋдїи̑.
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
27 καὶ εἰ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβαλοῦσι; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ἔσονται ὑμῶν.
28 А҆́ще ли же а҆́зъ ѡ҆ дс҃ѣ бж҃їи и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы, ᲂу҆̀бо пости́же на ва́съ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
28 εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Πνεύματι Θεοῦ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
29 И҆лѝ ка́кѡ мо́жетъ кто̀ вни́ти въ до́мъ крѣ́пкагѡ и҆ сосꙋ́ды є҆гѡ̀ расхи́тити, а҆́ще не пе́рвѣе свѧ́жетъ крѣ́пкаго, и҆ тогда̀ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀ расхи́титъ;
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
29 ἢ πῶς δύναταί τις εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἁρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον δήσῃ τὸν ἰσχυρόν; καὶ τότε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει.
30 И҆́же нѣ́сть со мно́ю, на мѧ̀ є҆́сть: и҆ и҆́же не собира́етъ со мно́ю, расточа́етъ.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
30 ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει.
31 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди гл҃ю ва́мъ: всѧ́къ грѣ́хъ и҆ хꙋла̀ ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ человѣ́кѡмъ: а҆ ꙗ҆́же на дх҃а хꙋла̀ не ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ человѣ́кѡмъ:
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
31 Διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, πᾶσα ἁμαρτία καὶ βλασφημία ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, ἡ δὲ τοῦ Πνεύματος βλασφημία οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις·
32 и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ сло́во на сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческаго, ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆ и҆́же рече́тъ на дх҃а ст҃а́го, не ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ни въ се́й вѣ́къ, ни въ бꙋ́дꙋщїй.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come.
32 καὶ ὃς ἐὰν εἴπῃ λόγον κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν εἴπῃ κατὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου, οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ οὔτε ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι.
33 И҆лѝ сотворитѐ дре́во добро̀ и҆ пло́дъ є҆гѡ̀ до́бръ: и҆лѝ сотворитѐ дре́во ѕло̀ и҆ пло́дъ є҆гѡ̀ ѕо́лъ: ѿ плода́ бо дре́во позна́но бꙋ́детъ.
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
33 Ἢ ποιήσατε τὸ δένδρον καλόν, καὶ τὸν καρπόν αὐτοῦ καλόν, ἢ ποιήσατε τὸ δένδρον σαπρόν, καὶ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ σαπρόν· ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ καρποῦ τὸ δένδρον γινώσκεται.
34 Порождє́нїѧ є҆хі́днѡва, ка́кѡ мо́жете добро̀ глаго́лати, ѕлѝ сꙋ́ще; Ѿ и҆збы́тка бо се́рдца ᲂу҆ста̀ глаго́лютъ.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
34 γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, πῶς δύνασθε ἀγαθὰ λαλεῖν πονηροὶ ὄντες; ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ περισσεύματος τῆς καρδίας τὸ στόμα λαλεῖ.
35 Бл҃гі́й человѣ́къ ѿ бл҃га́гѡ сокро́вища и҆зно́ситъ бл҃га̑ѧ: и҆ лꙋка́вый человѣ́къ ѿ лꙋка́вагѡ сокро́вища и҆зно́ситъ лꙋка̑ваѧ.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
35 ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ θησαυροῦ ἐκβάλλει ἀγαθά, καὶ ὁ πονηρὸς ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ θησαυροῦ ἐκβάλλει πονηρά.
36 Гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́ко сло́во пра́здное, є҆́же а҆́ще рекꙋ́тъ человѣ́цы, воздадѧ́тъ ѡ҆ не́мъ сло́во въ де́нь сꙋ́дный:
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
36 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶν ῥῆμα ἀργὸν ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσωσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, ἀποδώσουσι περὶ αὐτοῦ λόγον ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως·
37 ѿ слове́съ бо свои́хъ ѡ҆правди́шисѧ и҆ ѿ слове́съ свои́хъ ѡ҆сꙋ́дишисѧ.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
37 ἐκ γὰρ τῶν λόγων σου δικαιωθήσῃ καὶ ἐκ τῶν λόγων σου καταδικασθήσῃ.
38 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща́ша нѣ́цыи ѿ кни̑жникъ и҆ фарїсє́й, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, хо́щемъ ѿ тебє̀ зна́менїе ви́дѣти.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
38 Τότε ἀπεκρίθησάν τινες τῶν γραμματέων καὶ Φαρισαίων λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν ἀπὸ σοῦ σημεῖον ἰδεῖν.
39 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ро́дъ лꙋка́въ и҆ прелюбодѣ́й зна́менїѧ и҆́щетъ, и҆ зна́менїе не да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, то́кмѡ зна́менїе і҆ѡ́ны прⷪ҇ро́ка:
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
39 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· γενεὰ πονηρὰ καὶ μοιχαλὶς σημεῖον ἐπιζητεῖ, καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ εἰμὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου.
40 ꙗ҆́коже бо бѣ̀ і҆ѡ́на во чре́вѣ ки́товѣ трѝ дни̑ и҆ трѝ но́щы, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй въ се́рдцы землѝ трѝ дни̑ и҆ трѝ но́щы.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
40 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐγένετο Ἰωνᾶς ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας, οὕτως ἔσται [καὶ] ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς γῆς τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας.
41 Мꙋ́жїе нїнеѵі́тстїи воста́нꙋтъ на сꙋ́дъ съ ро́домъ си́мъ и҆ ѡ҆сꙋ́дѧтъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ пока́ѧшасѧ про́повѣдїю і҆ѡ́ниною: и҆ сѐ, бо́лѣ і҆ѡ́ны здѣ̀.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
41 ἄνδρες Νινευῖται ἀναστήσονται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτήν, ὅτι μετενόησαν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα Ἰωνᾶ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Ἰωνᾶ ὧδε.
42 Цари́ца ю҆́жскаѧ воста́нетъ на сꙋ́дъ съ ро́домъ си́мъ и҆ ѡ҆сꙋ́дитъ и҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де ѿ конє́цъ землѝ слы́шати премꙋ́дрость соломѡ́новꙋ: и҆ сѐ, бо́лѣ соломѡ́на здѣ̀.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
42 βασίλισσα νότου ἐγερθήσεται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινεῖ αὐτήν, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἐκ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς ἀκοῦσαι τὴν σοφίαν Σολομῶνος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Σολομῶνος ὧδε.
43 Є҆гда́ же нечи́стый дꙋ́хъ и҆зы́детъ ѿ человѣ́ка, прехо́дитъ сквозѣ̀ безвѡ́днаѧ мѣ̑ста, и҆щѧ̀ поко́ѧ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣта́етъ:
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
43 Ὅταν δὲ τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, διέρχεται δι᾽ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκει.
44 тогда̀ рече́тъ: возвращꙋ́сѧ въ до́мъ мо́й, ѿню́дꙋже и҆зыдо́хъ. И҆ прише́дъ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ пра́зденъ, помете́нъ и҆ ᲂу҆кра́шенъ:
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
44 τότε λέγει· εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ἐπιστρέψω ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον· καὶ ἐλθὸν εὑρίσκει σχολάζοντα [καὶ] σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον.
45 тогда̀ и҆́детъ и҆ по́йметъ съ собо́ю се́дмь и҆́ныхъ дꙋхѡ́въ лютѣ́йшихъ себє̀, и҆ вше́дше живꙋ́тъ тꙋ̀: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ послѣ̑днѧѧ человѣ́кꙋ томꙋ̀ гѡ́рша пе́рвыхъ. Та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆ ро́дꙋ семꙋ̀ лꙋка́вомꙋ.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
45 τότε πορεύεται καὶ παραλαμβάνει μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἕτερα πνεύματα πονηρότερα ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ εἰσελθόντα κατοικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ γίνεται τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκείνου χείρονα τῶν πρώτων. οὕτως ἔσται καὶ τῇ γενεᾷ τῇ πονηρᾷ ταύτῃ.
46 Є҆ще́ же є҆мꙋ̀ гл҃ющꙋ къ наро́дѡмъ, сѐ, мт҃и (є҆гѡ̀) и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ стоѧ́хꙋ внѣ̀, и҆́щꙋще глаго́лати є҆мꙋ̀.
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
46 Ἔτι δὲ αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος τοῖς ὄχλοις ἰδοὺ ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ εἱστήκεισαν ἔξω, ζητοῦντες λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ.
47 Рече́ же нѣ́кїй є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, мт҃и твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ внѣ̀ стоѧ́тъ, хотѧ́ще глаго́лати тебѣ̀.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
47 εἶπε δέ τις αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ζητοῦντές σε ἰδεῖν.
48 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ ко глаго́лющемꙋ є҆мꙋ̀: кто̀ є҆́сть мт҃и моѧ̀, и҆ кто̀ сꙋ́ть бра́тїѧ моѧ̑;
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
48 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε τῷ λέγοντι αὐτῷ· τίς ἐστιν ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ τίνες εἰσὶν οἱ ἀδελφοί μου;
49 И҆ просте́ръ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, речѐ: сѐ, мт҃и моѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑:
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
49 καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἔφη· ἰδοὺ ἡ μήτηρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου·
50 и҆́же бо а҆́ще сотвори́тъ во́лю ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, и҆́же є҆́сть на нб҃сѣ́хъ, то́й бра́тъ мо́й, и҆ сестра̀, и҆ мт҃и (мѝ) є҆́сть.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
50 ὅστις γὰρ ἂν ποιήσῃ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς, αὐτός μου ἀδελφὸς καὶ ἀδελφὴ καὶ μήτηρ ἐστίν.

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).
There has been a great question raised touching the late lesson of the Gospel, to the solution of which I am unequal by any power of mine own; but "our sufficiency is of God," to whatever degree we are capable of receiving His aid.

But Luke saith, "On a double Sabbath." Now what is a double Sabbath? When the cessation from toil is twofold, both that of the regular Sabbath, and that of another feast coming upon it. For they call every cessation from toil, a sabbath.

For when the unclean spirit of folly has gone forth, and when afterwards he finds them not waiting upon God, but occupied with mere worldly questions, then, "taking seven other spirits more wicked than himself," and inflating the minds of these men with the notion of their being able to conceive of something beyond God, and having fitly prepared them …
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utter most parts of the earth to hear the words of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Two things we learn from this passage, that a judgment is to take place, and that it …

Whereas, if they were in discord, neither could this have been pointed out, and the doctrine itself had long since been brought to nought: "for every kingdom," saith He, "divided against itself shall not stand." But now even in this shines forth the might of the Spirit, namely, in that it prevailed on these men, engaged as they were in …
