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 Тогда̀ пристꙋпи́ша ко і҆и҃сови и҆̀же ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є, глаго́люще:
1 Τότε προσέρχονται τῷ Ἰησοῦ οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες·
2 почто̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ твоѝ престꙋпа́ютъ преда́нїе ста́рєцъ; не ᲂу҆мыва́ютъ бо рꙋ́къ свои́хъ, є҆гда̀ хлѣ́бъ ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ.
2 διατί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσι τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; οὐ γὰρ νίπτονται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ὅταν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.
3 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: почто̀ и҆ вы̀ престꙋпа́ете за́повѣдь бж҃їю за преда́нїе ва́ше;
3 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· διατί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν;
4 Бг҃ъ бо заповѣ́да, гл҃ѧ: чтѝ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆ ма́терь: и҆: и҆́же ѕлосло́витъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ.
4 ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων· τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα· καί· ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.
5 Вы́ же глаго́лете: и҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тери: да́ръ, и҆́мже бы ѿ менє̀ по́льзовалсѧ є҆сѝ:
5 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς, καὶ οὐ μὴ τιμήσῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ·
6 и҆ да не почти́тъ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тере: и҆ разори́сте за́повѣдь бж҃їю за преда́нїе ва́ше.
6 καὶ ἠκυρώσατε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν.
7 Лицемѣ́ри, до́брѣ прⷪ҇ро́чествова ѡ҆ ва́съ и҆са́їа, глаго́лѧ:
7 ὑποκριταί! καλῶς προεφήτευσε περὶ ὑμῶν Ἡσαΐας λέγων·
8 приближа́ютсѧ мнѣ̀ лю́дїе сі́и ᲂу҆сты̑ свои́ми и҆ ᲂу҆стна́ми чтꙋ́тъ мѧ̀: се́рдце же и҆́хъ дале́че ѿстои́тъ ѿ менє̀:
8 ἐγγίζει μοι ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς χείλεσί με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ·
9 всꙋ́е же чтꙋ́тъ мѧ̀, ᲂу҆ча́ще ᲂу҆че́нїємъ, за́повѣдемъ человѣ́чєскимъ.
9 μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
10 И҆ призва́въ наро́ды, речѐ и҆̀мъ: слы́шите и҆ разꙋмѣ́йте:
10 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε·
11 не входѧ́щее во ᲂу҆ста̀ скверни́тъ человѣ́ка: но и҆сходѧ́щее и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ, то̀ скверни́тъ человѣ́ка.
11 οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
12 Тогда̀ пристꙋ́пльше ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: вѣ́си ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ фарїсе́є слы́шавше сло́во соблазни́шасѧ;
12 τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἶπον αὐτῷ· οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον;
13 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ: всѧ́къ са́дъ, є҆го́же не насадѝ ѻ҆ц҃ъ мо́й нбⷭ҇ный, и҆скорени́тсѧ:
13 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε· πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται.
14 ѡ҆ста́вите и҆̀хъ: вожди̑ сꙋ́ть слѣ́пи слѣпцє́мъ: слѣпе́цъ же слѣпца̀ а҆́ще во́дитъ, ѻ҆́ба въ ꙗ҆́мꙋ впаде́тасѧ.
14 ἄφετε αὐτούς· ὁδηγοί εἰσι τυφλοὶ τυφλῶν· τυφλὸς δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται.
15 Ѿвѣща́въ же пе́тръ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: скажѝ на́мъ при́тчꙋ сїю̀.
15 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην.
16 І҆и҃съ же речѐ (и҆̀мъ): є҆дина́че ли и҆ вы̀ без̾ ра́зꙋма є҆стѐ;
16 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε;
17 не ᲂу҆̀ ли разꙋмѣва́ете, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́ко, є҆́же вхо́дитъ во ᲂу҆ста̀, во чре́во вмѣща́етсѧ и҆ а҆федрѡ́номъ и҆схо́дитъ;
17 οὔπω νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν χωρεῖ καὶ εἰς ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκβάλλεται;
18 и҆сходѧ̑щаѧ же и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ, ѿ се́рдца и҆схо́дѧтъ, и҆ та̑ сквернѧ́тъ человѣ́ка:
18 τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
19 ѿ се́рдца бо и҆схо́дѧтъ помышлє́нїѧ ѕла̑ѧ, ᲂу҆бі̑йства, прелюбодѣѧ̑нїѧ, любодѣѧ̑нїѧ, татьбы̑, лжесвидѣ́тєльства, хꙋлы̑:
19 ἐκ γὰρ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχονται διαλογισμοὶ πονηροί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, βλασφημίαι.
20 сїѧ̑ сꙋ́ть сквернѧ̑щаѧ человѣ́ка: а҆ є҆́же неꙋмове́нныма рꙋка́ма ꙗ҆́сти, не скверни́тъ человѣ́ка.
20 ταῦτά ἐστι τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον· τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶ φαγεῖν οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
21 И҆ и҆зше́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ і҆и҃съ, ѿи́де во страны̑ тѵ̑рскїѧ и҆ сїдѡ̑нскїѧ.
21 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος.
22 И҆ сѐ, жена̀ ханане́йска, ѿ предѣ̑лъ тѣ́хъ и҆зше́дши, возопѝ къ немꙋ̀ глаго́лющи: поми́лꙋй мѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и, сн҃е дв҃довъ, дщѝ моѧ̀ ѕлѣ̀ бѣснꙋ́етсѧ.
22 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκραύγασεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα· ἐλέησόν με, Κύριε, υἱὲ Δαυΐδ· ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται.
23 Ѻ҆́нъ же не ѿвѣща̀ є҆́й словесѐ. И҆ пристꙋ́пльше ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀, молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ѿпꙋстѝ ю҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вопїе́тъ в̾слѣ́дъ на́съ.
23 ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν.
24 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ: нѣ́смь по́сланъ, то́кмѡ ко ѻ҆вца́мъ поги́бшымъ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева.
24 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
25 Ѻ҆на́ же прише́дши поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: гдⷭ҇и, помози́ ми.
25 ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ λέγουσα· Κύριε, βοήθει μοι.
26 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ: нѣ́сть добро̀ ѿѧ́ти хлѣ́ба ча́дѡмъ и҆ поврещѝ псѡ́мъ.
26 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστι καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις.
27 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: є҆́й, гдⷭ҇и: и҆́бо и҆ псѝ ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ ѿ крꙋпи́цъ па́дающихъ ѿ трапе́зы господе́й свои́хъ.
27 ἡ δὲ εἶπε· ναί, Κύριε· καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν.
28 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ є҆́й: ѽ, же́но, ве́лїѧ вѣ́ра твоѧ̀: бꙋ́ди тебѣ̀ ꙗ҆́коже хо́щеши. И҆ и҆сцѣлѣ̀ дщѝ є҆ѧ̀ ѿ тогѡ̀ часа̀.
28 τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις! γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
29 И҆ преше́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ і҆и҃съ, прїи́де на мо́ре галїле́йское, и҆ возше́дъ на горꙋ̀, сѣ́де тꙋ̀.
29 Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἦλθε παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὸ ὄρος ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ.
30 И҆ пристꙋпи́ша къ немꙋ̀ наро́ди мно́зи, и҆мꙋ́ще съ собо́ю хрѡмы́ѧ, слѣпы̑ѧ, нѣмы̑ѧ, бѣ̑дныѧ и҆ и҆́ны мнѡ́ги, и҆ приверго́ша и҆̀хъ къ нога́ма і҆и҃совыма: и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ и҆̀хъ:
30 καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἔχοντες μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν χωλούς, τυφλούς, κωφούς, κυλλοὺς καὶ ἑτέρους πολλούς, καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς,
31 ꙗ҆́коже наро́дѡмъ диви́тисѧ, ви́дѧщымъ нѣмы̑ѧ глаго́лющѧ, бѣ̑дныѧ здра̑вы, хрѡмы́ѧ ходѧ́щѧ и҆ слѣпы̑ѧ ви́дѧщѧ: и҆ сла́влѧхꙋ бг҃а і҆и҃лева.
31 ὥστε τοὺς ὄχλους θαυμάσαι βλέποντας κωφοὺς [ἀκούοντας, ἀλάλους] λαλοῦντας, κυλλοὺς ὑγιεῖς, χωλοὺς περιπατοῦντας καὶ τυφλοὺς βλέποντας· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
32 І҆и҃съ же призва́въ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, речѐ (и҆̀мъ): млⷭ҇рдꙋю ѡ҆ наро́дѣ (се́мъ), ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆жѐ дни̑ трѝ присѣдѧ́тъ мнѣ̀ и҆ не и҆́мꙋтъ чесѡ̀ ꙗ҆́сти: и҆ ѿпꙋсти́ти и҆̀хъ не ꙗ҆́дшихъ не хощꙋ̀, да не ка́кѡ ѡ҆слабѣ́ютъ на пꙋтѝ.
32 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπε· σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσί μοι καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσι τί φάγωσι· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
33 И҆ глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ на́мъ въ пꙋсты́ни хлѣ́би толи́цы, ꙗ҆́кѡ да насы́титсѧ толи́къ наро́дъ;
33 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον;
34 И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: коли́кѡ хлѣ́бы и҆́мате; Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: се́дмь, и҆ ма́лѡ ры́бицъ.
34 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια.
35 И҆ повелѣ̀ наро́дѡмъ возлещѝ на землѝ,
35 καὶ ἐκέλευσε τοῖς ὄχλοις ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
36 и҆ прїе́мь се́дмь хлѣ́бы и҆ ры̑бы, хвалꙋ̀ возда́въ преломѝ и҆ дадѐ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же наро́дѡмъ.
36 καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας, εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασε καὶ ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
37 И҆ ꙗ҆до́ша всѝ и҆ насы́тишасѧ: и҆ взѧ́ша и҆збы́тки ᲂу҆крꙋ̑хъ, се́дмь ко́шницъ и҆спо́лнь:
37 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις·
38 ꙗ҆́дшихъ же бѧ́ше четы́ре ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й, ра́звѣ же́нъ и҆ дѣте́й.
38 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
39 И҆ ѿпꙋсти́въ наро́ды, влѣ́зе въ кора́бль и҆ прїи́де въ предѣ́лы магдали̑нски.
39 καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἐνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγδαλά.

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).
This woman of Canaan, who has just now been brought before us in the lesson of the Gospel, shows us an example of humility, and the way of godliness; shows us how to rise from humility unto exaltation.

Then; when? when He had wrought His countless miracles; when He had healed the infirm by the touch of the hem of His garment. For even with this intent doth the evangelist mark the time, that He might signify their unspeakable wickedness, by nothing repressed.

For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
… the simple command of God; that is, they set up a spurious law, and one contrary to the [true] law; as also the Lord made plain, when He said to them, "Why do ye transgress the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition?" For not only by actual transgression did they set the law of God at nought, …
For He says in the Gospel, "I am not sent save to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," which He here compared to the pupil of God's eye, to signify the profoundest love.
