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 Во дни̑ же ѡ҆́ны прїи́де і҆ѡа́ннъ крⷭ҇ти́тель, проповѣ́даѧ въ пꙋсты́ни і҆ꙋде́йстѣй
1 Y EN aquellos días vino Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judea,
2 и҆ глаго́лѧ: пока́йтесѧ, прибли́жибосѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное.
2 Y diciendo: Arrepentíos, que el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.
3 Се́й бо є҆́сть рече́нный и҆са́їемъ прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ: гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ въ пꙋсты́ни: ᲂу҆гото́вайте пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень, пра̑вы твори́те стєзѝ є҆гѡ̀.
3 Porque éste es aquel del cual fué dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: Voz de uno que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor, enderezad sus veredas.
4 Са́мъ же і҆ѡа́ннъ и҆мѧ́ше ри́зꙋ свою̀ ѿ вла̑съ вельблꙋ̑ждь и҆ по́ѧсъ ᲂу҆сме́нъ ѡ҆ чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ: снѣ́дь же є҆гѡ̀ бѣ̀ прꙋ́жїе и҆ ме́дъ ди́вїй.
4 Y tenía Juan su vestido de pelos de camellos, y una cinta de cuero alrededor de sus lomos; y su comida era langostas y miel silvestre.
5 Тогда̀ и҆схожда́ше къ немꙋ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ всѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́а, и҆ всѧ̀ страна̀ і҆ѻрда́нскаѧ,
5 Entonces salía á él Jerusalem, y toda Judea, y toda la provincia de alrededor del Jordán;
6 и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆сповѣ́дающе грѣхѝ своѧ̑.
6 Y eran bautizados de él en el Jordán, confesando sus pecados.
7 Ви́дѣвъ же (і҆ѡа́ннъ) мнѡ́ги фарїсє́и и҆ саддꙋкє́и грѧдꙋ́щыѧ на креще́нїе є҆гѡ̀, речѐ и҆̀мъ: рождє́нїѧ є҆хі́днѡва, кто̀ сказа̀ ва́мъ бѣжа́ти ѿ бꙋ́дꙋщагѡ гнѣ́ва;
7 Y viendo él muchos de los Fariseos y de los Saduceos, que venían á su bautismo, decíales: Generación de víboras, ¿quién os ha enseñado á huir de la ira que vendrá?
8 сотвори́те ᲂу҆̀бо пло́дъ досто́инъ покаѧ́нїѧ,
8 Haced pues frutos dignos de arrepentimiento,
9 и҆ не начина́йте глаго́лати въ себѣ̀: ѻ҆тца̀ и҆́мамы а҆враа́ма: глаго́лю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́жетъ бг҃ъ ѿ ка́менїѧ сегѡ̀ воздви́гнꙋти ча̑да а҆враа́мꙋ:
9 Y no penséis decir dentro de vosotros: A Abraham tenemos por padre: porque yo os digo, que puede Dios despertar hijos á Abraham aun de estas piedras.
10 ᲂу҆же́ бо и҆ сѣки́ра при ко́рени дре́ва лежи́тъ: всѧ́ко ᲂу҆̀бо дре́во, є҆́же не твори́тъ плода̀ добра̀, посѣка́емо быва́етъ и҆ во ѻ҆́гнь вмета́емо:
10 Ahora, ya también la segur está puesta á la raíz de los árboles; y todo árbol que no hace buen fruto, es cortado y echado en el fuego.
11 а҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ креща́ю вы̀ водо́ю въ покаѧ́нїе: грѧды́й же по мнѣ̀ крѣ́плїй менє̀ є҆́сть, є҆мꙋ́же нѣ́смь досто́инъ сапогѝ понестѝ: то́й вы̀ крⷭ҇ти́тъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ и҆ ѻ҆гне́мъ:
11 Yo á la verdad os bautizo en agua para arrepentimiento; mas el que viene tras mí, más poderoso es que yo; los zapatos del cual yo no soy digno de llevar; él os bautizará en Espíritu Santo y [en] fuego.
12 є҆мꙋ́же лопа́та въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆треби́тъ гꙋмно̀ своѐ, и҆ собере́тъ пшени́цꙋ свою̀ въ жи́тницꙋ, пле́вы же сожже́тъ ѻ҆гне́мъ негаса́ющимъ.
12 Su aventador en su mano está, y aventará su era: y allegará su trigo en el alfolí, y quemará la paja en fuego que nunca se apagará.
13 Тогда̀ прихо́дитъ і҆и҃съ ѿ галїле́и на і҆ѻрда́нъ ко і҆ѡа́ннꙋ крⷭ҇ти́тисѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
13 Entonces Jesús vino de Galilea á Juan al Jordán, para ser bautizado de él.
14 І҆ѡа́ннъ же возбранѧ́ше є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: а҆́зъ тре́бꙋю тобо́ю крⷭ҇ти́тисѧ, и҆ ты́ ли грѧде́ши ко мнѣ̀;
14 Mas Juan lo resistía mucho, diciendo: Yo he menester ser bautizado de ti, ¿y tú vienes á mí?
15 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ къ немꙋ̀: ѡ҆ста́ви нн҃ѣ: та́кѡ бо подоба́етъ на́мъ и҆спо́лнити всѧ́кꙋ пра́вдꙋ. Тогда̀ ѡ҆ста́ви є҆го̀.
15 Empero respondiendo Jesús le dijo: Deja ahora; porque así nos conviene cumplir toda justicia. Entonces le dejó.
16 И҆ крⷭ҇ти́всѧ і҆и҃съ взы́де а҆́бїе ѿ воды̀: и҆ сѐ, ѿверзо́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ небеса̀, и҆ ви́дѣ дх҃а бж҃їѧ сходѧ́ща ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбѧ и҆ грѧдꙋ́ща на него̀.
16 Y Jesús, después que fué bautizado, subió luego del agua; y he aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vió al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como paloma, y venía sobre él.
17 И҆ сѐ, гла́съ съ небесѐ гл҃ѧ: се́й є҆́сть сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ не́мже бл҃говоли́хъ.
17 Y he aquí una voz de los cielos que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado, en el cual tengo contentamiento.

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).
How "in those days"? For not then, surely, when He was a child, and came to Nazareth, but thirty years after, John cometh; as Luke also testifies. How then is it said, "in those days"?

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough into smooth ways; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." There is therefore one and the same God, the Father of our Lord, who also promised, through the prophets, that He would send His forerunner; and …
For Thou correctest man for iniquity, and "Thy judgments are a great deep." But because Thy Spirit was "borne over the waters," Thy mercy forsook not our misery, and Thou saidst, "Let there be light," "Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Repent ye, let there be light.

This man was baptizing in Jordan, and there went out unto him all Jerusalem, to enjoy the first-fruits of baptisms: for in Jerusalem is the prerogative of all things good.
