The author evolves an idea of Eucharistic interpretation of the Prophet by A.S. Pushkin. In the paper are adduced new biblical and hymnographycal contexts, basing on which the author proposes a variant of interpretation of gnomic ending of the poem. Traditionally, the text of the verse is derived ecstatic visions of prophets Isaiah (Isaiah 6; 50,4-6) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1, 36,24-26), also single parallels is quoted from prophecies of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1,9; 5,14) and Daniel (Daniel 10) etc. some researchers detect precedents in the Koran. Only in the late 20 century scientists and commentators noticed connection of Pushkin‘s work with texts of New Testament and Christian hymnography. Continuing interpretation by the New Testament, the author places high emphasis on textual relations of the verse with Eucharistic hymnography. Attraction of series of new parallels permits not only to assert particular character of evolution of the Prophet, but also thoroughly comment on the most important metamorphosis - substitution of heart, which, in op inion of the researcher, serve as clue to comprehension of last phrase of the text
