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 Не сꙋди́те, да не сꙋди́ми бꙋ́дете:
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
2 и҆́мже бо сꙋдо́мъ сꙋ́дите, сꙋ́дѧтъ ва́мъ: и҆ въ ню́же мѣ́рꙋ мѣ́рите, возмѣ́ритсѧ ва́мъ.
2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 Что́ же ви́диши сꙋче́цъ, и҆́же во ѻ҆́цѣ бра́та твоегѡ̀, бервна́ же, є҆́же є҆́сть во ѻ҆́цѣ твое́мъ, не чꙋ́еши;
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
4 И҆лѝ ка́кѡ рече́ши бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀: ѡ҆ста́ви, да и҆змꙋ̀ сꙋче́цъ и҆з̾ ѻ҆чесѐ твоегѡ̀: и҆ сѐ, бервно̀ во ѻ҆́цѣ твое́мъ;
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
5 Лицемѣ́ре, и҆змѝ пе́рвѣе бервно̀ и҆з̾ ѻ҆чесѐ твоегѡ̀, и҆ тогда̀ ᲂу҆́зриши и҆з̾ѧ́ти сꙋче́цъ и҆з̾ ѻ҆чесѐ бра́та твоегѡ̀.
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 Не дади́те ст҃а̑ѧ псѡ́мъ, ни помета́йте би́сєръ ва́шихъ пред̾ свинїѧ́ми, да не поперꙋ́тъ и҆̀хъ нога́ми свои́ми и҆ вра́щшесѧ расто́ргнꙋтъ вы̀.
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 Проси́те, и҆ да́стсѧ ва́мъ: и҆щи́те, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете: толцы́те, и҆ ѿве́рзетсѧ ва́мъ:
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8 всѧ́къ бо просѧ́й прїе́млетъ, и҆ и҆щѧ́й ѡ҆брѣта́етъ, и҆ толкꙋ́щемꙋ ѿве́рзетсѧ.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9 И҆лѝ кто̀ є҆́сть ѿ ва́съ человѣ́къ, є҆го́же а҆́ще воспро́ситъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ хлѣ́ба, є҆да̀ ка́мень пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀;
9 Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 И҆лѝ а҆́ще ры́бы про́ситъ, є҆да̀ ѕмїю̀ пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀;
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо вы̀, лꙋка́ви сꙋ́ще, ᲂу҆мѣ́ете даѧ̑нїѧ бла̑га даѧ́ти ча́дѡмъ ва́шымъ, кольмѝ па́че ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ нбⷭ҇ный да́стъ бла̑га просѧ́щымъ ᲂу҆ негѡ̀.
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
12 Всѧ̑ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще хо́щете, да творѧ́тъ ва́мъ человѣ́цы, та́кѡ и҆ вы̀ твори́те и҆̀мъ: се́ бо є҆́сть зако́нъ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цы.
12 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Вни́дите ᲂу҆́зкими враты̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ простра̑ннаѧ врата̀ и҆ широ́кїй пꙋ́ть вводѧ́й въ па́гꙋбꙋ, и҆ мно́зи сꙋ́ть входѧ́щїи и҆́мъ:
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
14 что̀ ᲂу҆́зкаѧ врата̀, и҆ тѣ́сный пꙋ́ть вводѧ́й въ живо́тъ, и҆ ма́лѡ и҆́хъ є҆́сть, и҆̀же ѡ҆брѣта́ютъ є҆го̀.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
15 Внемли́те же ѿ лжи́выхъ прорѡ́къ, и҆̀же прихо́дѧтъ къ ва́мъ во ѻ҆де́ждахъ ѻ҆́вчихъ, внꙋ́трь же сꙋ́ть во́лцы хи́щницы:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 ѿ плѡ́дъ и҆́хъ позна́ете и҆̀хъ. Є҆да̀ ѡ҆б̾е́млютъ ѿ те́рнїѧ гро́зды, и҆лѝ ѿ ре́пїѧ смѡ́квы;
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
17 Та́кѡ всѧ́ко дре́во до́брое плоды̀ дѡбры̀ твори́тъ, а҆ ѕло́е дре́во плоды̀ ѕлы̑ твори́тъ:
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 не мо́жетъ дре́во добро̀ плоды̀ ѕлы̑ твори́ти, ни дре́во ѕло̀ плоды̀ дѡбры̀ твори́ти.
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Всѧ́ко ᲂу҆̀бо дре́во, є҆́же не твори́тъ плода̀ добра̀, посѣка́ютъ є҆̀ и҆ во ѻ҆́гнь вмета́ютъ.
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо ѿ плѡ́дъ и҆́хъ позна́ете и҆̀хъ.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 Не всѧ́къ глаго́лѧй мѝ: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, вни́детъ въ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное: но творѧ́й во́лю ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, и҆́же є҆́сть на нб҃сѣ́хъ.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Мно́зи рекꙋ́тъ мнѣ̀ во ѡ҆́нъ де́нь: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, не въ твое́ ли и҆́мѧ проро́чествовахомъ, и҆ твои́мъ и҆́менемъ бѣ́сы и҆згони́хомъ, и҆ твои́мъ и҆́менемъ си̑лы мнѡ́ги сотвори́хомъ;
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
23 И҆ тогда̀ и҆сповѣ́мъ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ николи́же зна́хъ ва́съ: ѿиди́те ѿ менє̀, дѣ́лающїи беззако́нїе.
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
24 Всѧ́къ ᲂу҆̀бо, и҆́же слы́шитъ словеса̀ моѧ̑ сїѧ̑ и҆ твори́тъ ѧ҆̀, ᲂу҆подо́блю є҆го̀ мꙋ́жꙋ мꙋ́дрꙋ, и҆́же созда̀ хра́минꙋ свою̀ на ка́мени:
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 и҆ сни́де до́ждь, и҆ прїидо́ша рѣ́ки, и҆ возвѣ́ѧша вѣ́три, и҆ нападо́ша на хра́минꙋ тꙋ̀: и҆ не паде́сѧ, ѡ҆снована́ бо бѣ̀ на ка́мени.
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 И҆ всѧ́къ слы́шай словеса̀ моѧ̑ сїѧ̑, и҆ не творѧ̀ и҆́хъ, ᲂу҆подо́битсѧ мꙋ́жꙋ ᲂу҆ро́дивꙋ, и҆́же созда̀ хра́минꙋ свою̀ на песцѣ̀:
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 и҆ сни́де до́ждь, и҆ прїидо́ша рѣ́ки, и҆ возвѣ́ѧша вѣ́три, и҆ ѡ҆про́шасѧ хра́минѣ то́й, и҆ паде́сѧ: и҆ бѣ̀ разрꙋше́нїе є҆ѧ̀ ве́лїе.
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
28 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ сконча̀ і҆и҃съ словеса̀ сїѧ̑, дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ наро́ди ѡ҆ ᲂу҆ч҃нїи є҆гѡ̀:
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29 бѣ́ бо ᲂу҆чѧ̀ и҆̀хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть и҆мѣ́ѧ, и҆ не ꙗ҆́кѡ кни́жницы (и҆ фарїсе́є).
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

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).
In the lesson of the Holy Gospel the Lord hath exhorted us to prayer. "Ask," saith He, "and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

What then? Ought we not to blame them that sin? Because Paul also saith this selfsame thing: or rather, there too it is Christ, speaking by Paul, and saying, "Why dost thou judge thy brother?

… all unrighteousness, covetousness, love of money, evil speaking, false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord said in His teaching: "Judge not, that ye be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven unto you; be merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; …
It was, [they affirm,] concerning these that the Lord said, "Seek, and ye shall find," that is, that they should inquire how Nous and Aletheia proceeded from Bythus and Sage; whether Logos and Zoe again derive their origin from these and then, whether Anthropos and Ecclesia proceed from Logos and Zoe.
or how shall they believe without a preacher?" And those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. For those who seek shall find Him, and those who find Him shall praise Him.
