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 Внемли́те ми́лостыни ва́шеѧ не твори́ти пред̾ человѣ̑ки, да ви́дими бꙋ́дете и҆́ми: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, мзды̀ не и҆́мате ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ ва́шегѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть на нб҃сѣ́хъ.
1 Προσέχετε τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μήγε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἔχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
2 Є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо твори́ши ми́лостыню, не вострꙋбѝ пред̾ собо́ю, ꙗ҆́коже лицемѣ́ри творѧ́тъ въ со́нмищихъ и҆ въ сто́гнахъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да просла́вѧтсѧ ѿ человѣ̑къ. А҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, воспрїе́млютъ мздꙋ̀ свою̀.
2 Ὅταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.
3 Тебѣ́ же творѧ́щꙋ ми́лостыню, да не ᲂу҆вѣ́сть шꙋ́йца твоѧ̀, что̀ твори́тъ десни́ца твоѧ̀,
3 σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου,
4 ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́детъ ми́лостынѧ твоѧ̀ въ та́йнѣ: и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ тво́й, ви́дѧй въ та́йнѣ, то́й возда́стъ тебѣ̀ ꙗ҆́вѣ.
4 ὅπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι ἐν τῷ φανερῷ.
5 И҆ є҆гда̀ мо́лишисѧ, не бꙋ́ди ꙗ҆́коже лицемѣ́ри, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́бѧтъ въ со́нмищихъ и҆ въ сто́гнахъ пꙋті́й стоѧ́ще моли́тисѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ꙗ҆вѧ́тсѧ человѣ́кѡмъ. А҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспрїе́млютъ мздꙋ̀ свою̀.
5 Καὶ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, οὐκ ἔσῃ ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταί, ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι, ὅπως ἂν φανῶσι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.
6 Ты́ же, є҆гда̀ мо́лишисѧ, вни́ди въ клѣ́ть твою̀, и҆ затвори́въ двє́ри твоѧ̑, помоли́сѧ ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, и҆́же въ та́йнѣ: и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ тво́й, ви́дѧй въ та́йнѣ, возда́стъ тебѣ̀ ꙗ҆́вѣ.
6 σὺ δὲ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖόν σου, καὶ κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι ἐν τῷ φανερῷ.
7 Молѧ́щесѧ же не ли́шше глаго́лите, ꙗ҆́коже ꙗ҆зы̑чницы: мнѧ́тъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ во многоглаго́ланїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆слы́шани бꙋ́дꙋтъ:
7 Προσευχόμενοι δὲ μὴ βαττολογήσητε ὥσπερ οἱ ἐθνικοί· δοκοῦσι γὰρ ὅτι ἐν τῇ πολυλογίᾳ αὐτῶν εἰσακουσθήσονται.
8 не подо́битесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆̀мъ: вѣ́сть бо ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ, и҆́хже тре́бꙋете, пре́жде проше́нїѧ ва́шегѡ.
8 μὴ οὖν ὁμοιωθῆτε αὐτοῖς· οἶδε γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὧν χρείαν ἔχετε πρὸ τοῦ ὑμᾶς αἰτῆσαι αὐτόν.
9 Си́це ᲂу҆̀бо моли́тесѧ вы̀: ѻ҆́ч҃е на́шъ, и҆́же є҆сѝ на нб҃сѣ́хъ, да ст҃и́тсѧ и҆́мѧ твоѐ:
9 Οὕτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου·
10 да прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе твоѐ: да бꙋ́детъ во́лѧ твоѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ на нб҃сѝ, и҆ на землѝ:
10 ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
11 хлѣ́бъ на́шъ насꙋ́щный да́ждь на́мъ дне́сь:
11 τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
12 и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви на́мъ до́лги на́шѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ мы̀ ѡ҆ставлѧ́емъ должникѡ́мъ на́шымъ:
12 καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
13◆ и҆ не введѝ на́съ въ напа́сть, но и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ лꙋка́вагѡ: ꙗ҆́кѡ твоѐ є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе и҆ си́ла и҆ сла́ва во вѣ́ки. А҆ми́нь.
13 καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ. ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.
14 А҆́ще бо ѿпꙋща́ете человѣ́кѡмъ согрѣшє́нїѧ и҆́хъ, ѿпꙋ́ститъ и҆ ва́мъ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ нбⷭ҇ный:
14 Ἐὰν γὰρ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ἀφήσει καὶ ὑμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος·
15 а҆́ще ли не ѿпꙋща́ете человѣ́кѡмъ согрѣшє́нїѧ и҆́хъ, ни ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ ѿпꙋ́ститъ ва́мъ согрѣше́нїй ва́шихъ.
15 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀφῆτε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν.
16 Є҆гда́ же постите́сѧ, не бꙋ́дите ꙗ҆́коже лицемѣ́ри сѣ́тꙋюще: помрача́ютъ бо ли́ца своѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ꙗ҆вѧ́тсѧ человѣ́кѡмъ постѧ́щесѧ. А҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспрїе́млютъ мздꙋ̀ свою̀.
16 Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί· ἀφανίζουσι γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν.
17 Ты́ же постѧ́сѧ пома́жи главꙋ̀ твою̀, и҆ лицѐ твоѐ ᲂу҆мы́й,
17 σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι,
18 ꙗ҆́кѡ да не ꙗ҆ви́шисѧ человѣ́кѡмъ постѧ́сѧ, но ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, и҆́же въ та́йнѣ: и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ тво́й, ви́дѧй въ та́йнѣ, возда́стъ тебѣ̀ ꙗ҆́вѣ.
18 ὅπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων, ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι [ἐν τῷ φανερῷ].
19 Не скрыва́йте себѣ̀ сокро́вищъ на землѝ, и҆дѣ́же че́рвь и҆ тлѧ̀ тли́тъ, и҆ и҆дѣ́же та́тїе подко́пываютъ и҆ кра́дꙋтъ:
19 Μὴ θησαυρίζετε ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅπου σὴς καὶ βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται διορύσσουσι καὶ κλέπτουσι·
20 скрыва́йте же себѣ̀ сокро́вище на нб҃сѝ, и҆дѣ́же ни че́рвь, ни тлѧ̀ тли́тъ, и҆ и҆дѣ́же та́тїе не подко́пываютъ, ни кра́дꙋтъ:
20 θησαυρίζετε δὲ ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐν οὐρανῷ, ὅπου οὔτε σὴς οὔτε βρῶσις ἀφανίζει, καὶ ὅπου κλέπται οὐ διορύσσουσιν οὐδὲ κλέπτουσιν·
21 и҆дѣ́же бо є҆́сть сокро́вище ва́ше, тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ и҆ се́рдце ва́ше.
21 ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν.
22 Свѣти́льникъ тѣ́лꙋ є҆́сть ѻ҆́ко. А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо бꙋ́детъ ѻ҆́ко твоѐ про́сто, всѐ тѣ́ло твоѐ свѣ́тло бꙋ́детъ:
22 Ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός· ἐὰν οὖν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς ᾖ, ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινόν ἔσται·
23 а҆́ще ли ѻ҆́ко твоѐ лꙋка́во бꙋ́детъ, всѐ тѣ́ло твоѐ те́мно бꙋ́детъ. А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо свѣ́тъ, и҆́же въ тебѣ̀, тьма̀ є҆́сть, то̀ тьма̀ кольмѝ;
23 ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρὸς ᾖ, ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινὸν ἔσται. εἰ οὖν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστί, τὸ σκότος πόσον;
24 Никто́же мо́жетъ двѣма̀ господи́нома рабо́тати: лю́бо є҆ди́наго возлю́битъ, а҆ дрꙋга́го возненави́дитъ: и҆лѝ є҆ди́нагѡ держи́тсѧ, ѡ҆ дрꙋзѣ́мъ же неради́ти на́чнетъ. Не мо́жете бг҃ꙋ рабо́тати и҆ мамѡ́нѣ.
24 Οὐδεὶς δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. οὐ δύνασθε Θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.
25 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди гл҃ю ва́мъ: не пецы́тесѧ дꙋше́ю ва́шею, что̀ ꙗ҆́сте, и҆лѝ что̀ пїе́те: ни тѣ́ломъ ва́шимъ, во что̀ ѡ҆блече́тесѧ. Не дꙋша́ ли бо́льши є҆́сть пи́щи, и҆ тѣ́ло ѻ҆де́жди;
25 Διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί φάγητε καὶ τί πίητε, μηδὲ τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν τί ἐνδύσησθε· οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος;
26 Воззри́те на пти̑цы небє́сныѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сѣ́ютъ, ни жнꙋ́тъ, ни собира́ютъ въ жи̑тницы, и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ нбⷭ҇ный пита́етъ и҆̀хъ. Не вы́ ли па́че лꙋ́чши и҆́хъ є҆стѐ;
26 ἐμβλέψατε εἰς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὅτι οὐ σπείρουσιν οὐδὲ θερίζουσιν οὐδὲ συνάγουσιν εἰς ἀποθήκας, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος τρέφει αὐτά· οὐχ ὑμεῖς μᾶλλον διαφέρετε αὐτῶν;
27 Кто́ же ѿ ва́съ пекі́йсѧ мо́жетъ приложи́ти во́зрастꙋ своемꙋ̀ ла́коть є҆ди́нъ;
27 τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν μεριμνῶν δύναται προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλικίαν αὐτοῦ πῆχυν ἕνα;
28 И҆ ѡ҆ ѻ҆де́жди что̀ пече́тесѧ; Смотри́те крі̑нъ се́льныхъ, ка́кѡ растꙋ́тъ: не трꙋжда́ютсѧ, ни прѧдꙋ́тъ:
28 καὶ περὶ ἐνδύματος τί μεριμνᾶτε; καταμάθετε τὰ κρίνα τοῦ ἀγροῦ πῶς αὐξάνει· οὐ κοπιᾷ οὐδὲ νήθει·
29 гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни соломѡ́нъ во все́й сла́вѣ свое́й ѡ҆блече́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ ѿ си́хъ:
29 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδὲ Σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων.
30 а҆́ще же сѣ́но се́льное, дне́сь сꙋ́ще и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ въ пе́щь вмета́емо, бг҃ъ та́кѡ ѡ҆дѣва́етъ, не мно́гѡ ли па́че ва́съ, маловѣ́ри;
30 Εἰ δὲ τὸν χόρτον τοῦ ἀγροῦ, σήμερον ὄντα καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ Θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέννυσιν, οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι;
31 Не пецы́тесѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ, глаго́люще: что̀ ꙗ҆́мы, и҆лѝ что̀ пїе́мъ, и҆лѝ чи́мъ ѡ҆де́ждемсѧ;
31 μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε λέγοντες, τί φάγωμεν ἢ τί πίωμεν ἢ τί περιβαλώμεθα;
32 Всѣ́хъ бо си́хъ ꙗ҆зы́цы и҆́щꙋтъ: вѣ́сть бо ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ нбⷭ҇ный, ꙗ҆́кѡ тре́бꙋете си́хъ всѣ́хъ.
32 πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιζητεῖ· οἶδε γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων.
33 И҆щи́те же пре́жде црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ и҆ пра́вды є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ приложа́тсѧ ва́мъ.
33 ζητεῖτε δὲ πρῶτον τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα πάντα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν.
34 Не пецы́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо на ᲂу҆́трей, ᲂу҆́треннїй бо собо́ю пече́тсѧ: довлѣ́етъ дне́ви ѕло́ба є҆гѡ̀.
34 Μὴ οὖν μεριμνήσητε εἰς τὴν αὔριον· ἡ γὰρ αὔριον μεριμνήσει τὰ ἑαυτῆς· ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Matthew 6:13: “For thine is the kingdom…”
The closing doxology of the Lord’s Prayer, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,” is missing from the oldest Greek manuscripts of Matthew and from most of the Latin tradition, but it is very old: a shorter form already appears in the Didache. The Patriarchal Text includes it, and in the Divine Liturgy the priest sings it in a Trinitarian form. Most scholars see it as an early liturgical response that entered the text.
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 order established for your edification requires that ye learn first what to believe, and afterwards what to ask. For so saith the Apostle, "Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved." This testimony blessed Paul cited out of the Prophet; for by the Prophet were those times foretold, when all men should call upon God; …

In like manner also, that [text] which says, "Ye cannot serve two masters," He does Himself interpret, saying, "Ye cannot serve God and mammon;" acknowledging God indeed as God, but mentioning mammon, a thing having also an existence.
… unto me, through that Medicine of our wounds who hung upon the tree, and who, sitting at Thy right hand, "maketh intercession for us." I know that she acted mercifully, and from the heart forgave her debtors their debts; do Thou also forgive her debts, whatever she contracted during so many years since the water of salvation.
