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 ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ, па́ки речѐ и҆̀мъ въ при́тчахъ, гл҃ѧ:
1 Y RESPONDIENDO Jesús, les volvió á hablar en parábolas, diciendo:
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное человѣ́кꙋ царю̀, и҆́же сотворѝ бра́ки сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀
2 El reino de los cielos es semejante á un hombre rey, que hizo bodas á su hijo;
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 и҆ посла̀ рабы̑ своѧ̑ призва́ти зва̑нныѧ на бра́ки: и҆ не хотѧ́хꙋ прїитѝ.
3 Y envió sus siervos para que llamasen los llamados á las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 Па́ки посла̀ и҆́ны рабы̑, глаго́лѧ: рцы́те зва̑ннымъ: сѐ, ѡ҆бѣ́дъ мо́й ᲂу҆гото́вахъ, ю҆нцы̀ моѝ и҆ ᲂу҆пита̑ннаѧ и҆сколє́на, и҆ всѧ̑ готѡ́ва: прїиди́те на бра́ки.
4 Volvió á enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid á los llamados: He aquí, mi comida he aparejado; mis toros y animales engordados son muertos, y todo está prevenido: venid á las bodas.
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
5 Ѻ҆ни́ же небре́гше ѿидо́ша, ѻ҆́въ ᲂу҆́бѡ на село̀ своѐ, ѻ҆́въ же на кꙋ̑пли своѧ̑:
5 Mas ellos no se cuidaron, y se fueron, uno á su labranza, y otro á sus negocios;
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 про́чїи же є҆́мше рабѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀, досади́ша и҆̀мъ и҆ ᲂу҆би́ша и҆̀хъ.
6 Y otros, tomando á sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 И҆ слы́шавъ ца́рь то́й разгнѣ́васѧ, и҆ посла́въ вѡ́ѧ своѧ̑, погꙋбѝ ᲂу҆бі̑йцы ѡ҆́ны и҆ гра́дъ и҆́хъ зажжѐ.
7 Y el rey, oyendo [esto], se enojó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó á aquellos homicidas, y puso fuego á su ciudad.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Тогда̀ глаго́ла рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: бра́къ ᲂу҆́бѡ гото́въ є҆́сть, зва́ннїи же не бы́ша досто́йни:
8 Entonces dice á sus siervos: Las bodas á la verdad están aparejadas; mas los que eran llamados no eran dignos.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 и҆ди́те ᲂу҆̀бо на и҆схѡ́дища пꙋті́й, и҆ є҆ли́цѣхъ а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щете, призови́те на бра́ки.
9 Id pues á las salidas de los caminos, y llamad á las bodas á cuantos hallareis.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 И҆ и҆зше́дше рабѝ ѻ҆́ни на распꙋ̑тїѧ, собра́ша всѣ́хъ, є҆ли́цѣхъ ѡ҆брѣто́ша, ѕлы́хъ же и҆ до́брыхъ: и҆ и҆спо́лнисѧ бра́къ возлежа́щихъ.
10 Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron á todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos: y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 Вше́дъ же ца́рь ви́дѣти возлежа́щихъ, ви́дѣ тꙋ̀ человѣ́ка не ѡ҆болче́на во ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїе бра́чное,
11 Y entró el rey para ver los convidados, y vió allí un hombre no vestido de boda.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
12 и҆ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: дрꙋ́же, ка́кѡ вше́лъ є҆сѝ сѣ́мѡ не и҆мы́й ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїѧ бра́чна; Ѻ҆́нъ же ᲂу҆молча̀.
12 Y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste aquí no teniendo vestido de boda? Mas él cerró la boca.
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 Тогда̀ речѐ ца́рь слꙋга́мъ: свѧза́вше є҆мꙋ̀ рꙋ́цѣ и҆ но́зѣ, возми́те є҆го̀ и҆ вве́рзите во тьмꙋ̀ кромѣ́шнюю: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ:
13 Entonces el rey dijo á los que servían: Atado de pies y de manos tomadle, y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 мно́зи бо сꙋ́ть зва́ни, ма́лѡ же и҆збра́нныхъ.
14 Porque muchos son llamados, y pocos escogidos.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Тогда̀ ше́дше фарїсе́є, совѣ́тъ воспрїѧ́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѡ҆больстѧ́тъ є҆го̀ сло́вомъ.
15 Entonces, idos los Fariseos, consultaron cómo le tomarían en [alguna] palabra.
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 И҆ посыла́ютъ къ немꙋ̀ ᲂу҆ченикѝ своѧ̑ со и҆рѡдїа̑ны, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́стиненъ є҆сѝ, и҆ пꙋтѝ бж҃їю вои́стиннꙋ ᲂу҆чи́ши, и҆ неради́ши ни ѡ҆ ко́мже: не зри́ши бо на лицѐ человѣ́кѡмъ:
16 Y envían á él los discípulos de ellos, con los Herodianos, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que eres amador de la verdad, y [que] enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y [que] no te curas de nadie, porque no tienes acepción de persona de hombres.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
17 рцы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо на́мъ, что̀ ти́ сѧ мни́тъ; досто́йно ли є҆́сть да́ти кинсо́нъ ке́сареви, и҆лѝ нѝ;
17 Dinos pues, ¿qué te parece? ¿es lícito dar tributo á César, ó no?
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 Разꙋмѣ́въ же і҆и҃съ лꙋка́вство и҆́хъ, речѐ: что́ мѧ и҆скꙋша́ете, лицемѣ́ри;
18 Mas Jesús, entendida la malicia de ellos, [les] dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 покажи́те мѝ злати́цꙋ кинсо́ннꙋю. Ѻ҆ни́ же принесо́ша є҆мꙋ̀ пѣ́нѧзь.
19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: чі́й ѡ҆́бразъ се́й и҆ написа́нїе;
20 Entonces les dice: ¿Cúya es esta figura, y lo que está encima escrito?
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 (И҆) глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: ке́саревъ. Тогда̀ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: воздади́те ᲂу҆́бѡ ке́сарєва ке́сареви, и҆ бж҃їѧ бг҃ови.
21 Dícenle: De César. Y díceles: Pagad pues á César lo que es de César, y á Dios lo que es de Dios.
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 И҆ слы́шавше диви́шасѧ: и҆ ѡ҆ста́вльше є҆го̀ ѿидо́ша.
22 Y oyendo esto, se maravillaron; y dejándole se fueron.
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 Въ то́й де́нь пристꙋпи́ша къ немꙋ̀ саддꙋке́є, и҆̀же глаго́лютъ не бы́ти воскрⷭ҇нїю, и҆ вопроси́ша є҆го̀,
23 Aquel día llegaron á él los Saduceos, que dicen no haber resurrección, y le preguntaron,
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, мѡѷсе́й речѐ: а҆́ще кто̀ ᲂу҆́мретъ не и҆мы́й ча̑дъ, (да) по́йметъ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ воскреси́тъ сѣ́мѧ бра́та своегѡ̀:
24 Diciendo: Maestro, Moisés dijo: Si alguno muriere sin hijos, su hermano se casará con su mujer, y despertará simiente á su hermano.
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 бѣ́ша же въ на́съ се́дмь бра́тїѧ: и҆ пе́рвый ѡ҆же́ньсѧ ᲂу҆́мре, и҆ не и҆мы́й сѣ́мене, ѡ҆ста́ви женꙋ̀ свою̀ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀:
25 Fueron pues, entre nosotros siete hermanos: y el primero tomó mujer, y murió; y no teniendo generación, dejó su mujer á su hermano.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 та́кожде же и҆ вторы́й, и҆ тре́тїй, да́же до седма́гѡ:
26 De la misma manera también el segundo, y el tercero, hasta los siete.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 послѣди́ же всѣ́хъ ᲂу҆́мре и҆ жена̀:
27 Y después de todos murió también la mujer.
27 After them all, the woman died.
28 въ воскрⷭ҇нїе ᲂу҆̀бо, кото́рагѡ ѿ седми́хъ бꙋ́детъ жена̀; вси́ бо и҆мѣ́ша ю҆̀.
28 En la resurrección pues, ¿de cuál de los siete será ella mujer? porque todos la tuvieron.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ и҆̀мъ: прельща́етесѧ, не вѣ́дꙋще писа́нїѧ, ни си́лы бж҃їѧ:
29 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Erráis ignorando las Escrituras, y el poder de Dios.
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 въ воскрⷭ҇нїе бо ни же́нѧтсѧ, ни посѧга́ютъ, но ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃ли бж҃їи на нб҃сѝ сꙋ́ть:
30 Porque en la resurrección, ni los hombres tomarán mujeres, ni las mujeres maridos; mas son como los ángeles de Dios en el cielo.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 ѡ҆ воскрⷭ҇нїи же ме́ртвыхъ нѣ́сте ли члѝ рече́ннагѡ ва́мъ бг҃омъ, гл҃ющимъ:
31 Y de la resurrección de los muertos, ¿no habéis leído lo que os es dicho por Dios, que dice:
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ а҆враа́мовъ, и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ковъ, и҆ бг҃ъ і҆а́кѡвль; нѣ́сть бг҃ъ бг҃ъ ме́ртвыхъ, но (бг҃ъ) живы́хъ.
32 Yo soy el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos.
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 И҆ слы́шавше наро́ди дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀.
33 Y oyendo esto las gentes, estaban atónitas de su doctrina.
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Фарїсе́є же слы́шавше, ꙗ҆́кѡ посрамѝ саддꙋкє́и, собра́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ.
34 Entonces los Fariseos, oyendo que había cerrado la boca á los Saduceos, se juntaron á una.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 И҆ вопросѝ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ни́хъ законоꙋчи́тель, и҆скꙋша́ѧ є҆го̀ и҆ глаго́лѧ:
35 Y preguntó uno de ellos, intérprete de la ley, tentándole y diciendo:
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 ᲂу҆чт҃лю, ка́ѧ за́повѣдь бо́льши (є҆́сть) въ зако́нѣ;
36 Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento grande en la ley?
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 І҆и҃съ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: возлю́биши гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоего̀ всѣ́мъ се́рдцемъ твои́мъ, и҆ все́ю дꙋше́ю твое́ю, и҆ все́ю мы́слїю твое́ю:
37 Y Jesús le dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios de todo tu corazón, y de toda tu alma, y de toda tu mente.
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 сїѧ̀ є҆́сть пе́рваѧ и҆ бо́льшаѧ за́повѣдь:
38 Este es el primero y el grande mandamiento.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 втора́ѧ же подо́бна є҆́й: возлю́биши и҆́скреннѧго твоего̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ са́мъ себѐ:
39 Y el segundo es semejante á éste: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 въ сїю̑ ѻ҆бою̀ за́пѡвѣдїю ве́сь зако́нъ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цы ви́сѧтъ.
40 De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la ley y los profetas.
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Собра́вшымсѧ же фарїсе́ѡмъ, вопросѝ и҆̀хъ і҆и҃съ,
41 Y estando juntos los Fariseos, Jesús les preguntó,
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 гл҃ѧ: что̀ ва́мъ мни́тсѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀; чі́й є҆́сть сн҃ъ; Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: дв҃довъ.
42 Diciendo: ¿Qué os parece del Cristo? ¿de quién es Hijo? Dícenle: De David.
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 Гл҃а и҆̀мъ: ка́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо дв҃дъ дх҃омъ гдⷭ҇а є҆го̀ нарица́етъ, глаго́лѧ:
43 El les dice: ¿Pues cómo David en Espíritu le llama Señor, diciendo:
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 речѐ гдⷭ҇ь гдⷭ҇еви моемꙋ̀: сѣдѝ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю менє̀, до́ндеже положꙋ̀ врагѝ твоѧ̑ подно́жїе нога́ма твои́ма;
44 Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra, entre tanto que pongo tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо дв҃дъ нарица́етъ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇а, ка́кѡ сн҃ъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть;
45 Pues si David le llama Señor, ¿cómo es su Hijo?
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 И҆ никто́же можа́ше ѿвѣща́ти є҆мꙋ̀ словесѐ: нижѐ смѣ́ѧше кто̀ ѿ тогѡ̀ днѐ вопроси́ти є҆го̀ ктомꙋ̀.
46 Y nadie le podía responder palabra; ni osó alguno desde aquel día preguntarle más.
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

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).
All the faithful know the marriage of the king's son, and his feast, and the spreading of the Lord's Table is open to them all who will. But it is of importance to each one to see how he approaches, even when he is not forbidden to approach It.

Seest thou both in the former parable and in this the difference between the Son and the servants? Seest thou at once the great affinity between both parables, and the great difference also? For this also indicates God's long-suffering, and His great providential care, and the Jews' ingratitude. But this parable hath something also more than the other.

… if one ought to pay tribute to Cæsar; and He answered, "Tell Me, whose image does the coin bear?" And they said, "Cæsar's."
