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 ви́дѣхъ въ десни́цѣ сѣдѧ́щагѡ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ кни́гꙋ напи́санꙋ внꙋтрьꙋ́дꙋ и҆ внѣꙋ́дꙋ, запеча́танꙋ седмїю̀ печа̑тїю.
1 Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν, κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.
2 И҆ ви́дѣхъ а҆́гг҃ла крѣ́пка проповѣ́дающа гла́сомъ вели́кимъ: кто́ є҆сть досто́инъ разгнꙋ́ти кни́гꙋ и҆ разрѣши́ти печа̑ти є҆ѧ̀;
2 καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλη· τίς ἄξιός ἐστιν ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;
3 И҆ никто́же можа́ше ни на нб҃сѝ, ни на землѝ, нижѐ под̾ земле́ю, разгнꙋ́ти кни́гꙋ, нижѐ зрѣ́ти ю҆̀.
3 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ οὔτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὔτε ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
4 И҆ а҆́зъ пла́кахсѧ мно́гѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни є҆ди́нъ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ досто́инъ разгнꙋ́ти и҆ прочестѝ кни́гꙋ, нижѐ зрѣ́ти ю҆̀.
4 καὶ ἐγὼ ἔκλαιον πολύ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
5 И҆ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ста́рєцъ глаго́ла мѝ: не пла́чисѧ: сѐ, побѣди́лъ є҆́сть ле́въ, и҆́же сы́й ѿ колѣ́на і҆ꙋ́дова, ко́рень дв҃довъ, разгнꙋ́ти кни́гꙋ и҆ разрѣши́ти се́дмь печа́тей є҆ѧ̀.
5 καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι· μὴ κλαῖε. ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυΐδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.
6 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, посредѣ̀ прⷭ҇то́ла и҆ четы́рехъ живо́тныхъ и҆ посредѣ̀ ста́рєцъ а҆́гнецъ стоѧ́щь ꙗ҆́кѡ заколе́нъ, и҆мꙋ́щь рогѡ́въ се́дмь и҆ ѻ҆че́съ се́дмь, є҆́же є҆́сть се́дмь дꙋхѡ́въ бж҃їихъ, по́сланныхъ во всю̀ зе́млю.
6 Καὶ εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον, ἔχον κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά, ἅ εἰσι τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀποστελλόμενα εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
7 И҆ прїи́де и҆ прїѧ́тъ кни́гꙋ ѿ десни́цы сѣдѧ́щагѡ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ.
7 καὶ ἦλθε καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.
8 И҆ є҆гда̀ прїѧ́тъ кни́гꙋ, четы́ри живѡ́тна и҆ два́десѧть и҆ четы́ри ста́рцы падо́ша пред̾ а҆́гнцемъ, и҆мꙋ́ще кі́йждо гꙋ̑сли и҆ фїа́лы зла̑ты пѡ́лны ѳѷмїа́ма, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть мл҃твы ст҃ы́хъ:
8 καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβε τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου, ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων·
9 и҆ пою́тъ пѣ́снь но́вꙋ, глаго́люще: досто́инъ є҆сѝ прїѧ́ти кни́гꙋ и҆ ѿве́рзти печа̑ти є҆ѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ закла́лсѧ и҆ и҆скꙋпи́лъ є҆сѝ бг҃ови на́съ кро́вїю свое́ю ѿ всѧ́кагѡ колѣ́на и҆ ꙗ҆зы́ка и҆ люді́й и҆ племе́нъ,
9 καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες· ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ Θεῷ ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους,
10 и҆ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ на́съ бг҃ови на́шемꙋ цари̑ и҆ і҆ерє́и: и҆ воцари́мсѧ на землѝ.
10 καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν βασιλεῖς καὶ ἱερεῖς, καὶ βασιλεύσουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ а҆́гг҃лѡвъ мно́гихъ ѡ҆́крестъ прⷭ҇то́ла и҆ живо́тныхъ и҆ ста́рєцъ, и҆ бѣ̀ число̀ и҆́хъ ты́сѧща ты́сѧщами,
11 καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἤκουσα [ὡς] φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων,
12 глаго́люще гла́сомъ вели́кимъ: досто́инъ є҆́сть а҆́гнецъ заколе́нный прїѧ́ти си́лꙋ и҆ бога́тство, и҆ премⷣрость и҆ крѣ́пость, и҆ чтⷭ҇ь и҆ сла́вꙋ и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́нїе.
12 λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· ἄξιόν ἐστι τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ [τὸν] πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
13 И҆ всѧ́ко созда́нїе, є҆́же є҆́сть на небесѝ и҆ на землѝ, и҆ под̾ земле́ю и҆ на мо́ри ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть, и҆ сꙋ̑щаѧ въ ни́хъ, всѧ̑ слы́шахъ глаго́лющыѧ: сѣдѧ́щемꙋ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ и҆ а҆́гнцꙋ блгⷭ҇ве́нїе и҆ чтⷭ҇ь, и҆ сла́ва и҆ держа́ва во вѣ́ки вѣкѡ́въ.
13 καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐστί, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα, ἤκουσα λέγοντας· τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
14 И҆ четы́ри живѡ́тна глаго́лахꙋ: а҆ми́нь. И҆ два́десѧть и҆ четы́ри ста́рцы падо́ша и҆ поклони́шасѧ живꙋ́щемꙋ во вѣ́ки вѣкѡ́въ.
14 καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα ἔλεγον, ἀμήν· καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν.

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 midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth." And again, he says, speaking of this very same Lamb: "And behold a white horse; …
Another example of the same is that a lion stands for Christ in the place where it is said, "The lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed;" and again, stands for the devil where it is written, "Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour." In the same way the serpent is …

For although they are done on earth, yet nevertheless they are worthy of the Heavens. For when our Lord Jesus Christ lies slain [as a sacrifice], when the Spirit is with us, when He who sitteth on the right hand of the Father is here, when sons are made by the Washing, when they are fellow-citizens of those in Heaven, …

yet both Christ and the devil are called "a lion." Christ is called "a lion:" "The Lion hath prevailed of the tribe of Judah;" and the devil is called a lion: "Know ye not that your adversary the Devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour?" Both the one and the other then is a lion; …

"Behold the Lamb of God!" How a lion? "The Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed."
