Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ Θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου. Ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου, καὶ απὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διὰ παντός. Σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας· τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι. Ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι· πλυνεῖς με καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι. Ἀκουτιεῖς μοι ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην· ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστέα τεταπεινωμένα. Ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον. Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου. Μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με. Διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι. Ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου· ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου. Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου. Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις. Θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον· καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει. Ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιὼν καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἰερουσαλήμ. Τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα. Τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους. |
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from my lawlessness and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my lawlessness, and my sin is always before me. Against You only have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be justified in Your words, and overcome when You are judged. For behold, I was conceived in transgressions, and in sins my mother bore me. Behold, You love truth; You showed me the unknown and secret things of Your wisdom. You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; You shall wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow. You shall make me hear joy and gladness; my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice. Turn Your face from my sins, and blot out all my transgressions. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your guiding Spirit. I will teach transgressors Your ways, and the ungodly shall turn back to You. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall greatly rejoice in Your righteousness. O Lord, You shall open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; You will not be pleased with whole burnt offerings. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Your good pleasure to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built; then You will be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with offerings and whole burnt offerings; then shall they offer young bulls on Your altar.

He who covers himself with light as with a garment condescended for our sake to become like us. Today He wraps himself in the streams of the Jordan, not needing them for His own purification, but in His own person accomplishing our regeneration. Awesome is the miracle! Without melting it in fire, He reforges our nature, and remolds it, not by shattering, saving those who are baptized into Him, Christ our God, the Savior of our souls. [MLGS] |

The Baptist beheld You approaching him, O Lamb of God, who wash away the sin of the world with the Holy Spirit and with fire. In fear and trembling he cried aloud, “I do not dare to lay my hand upon your undefiled head; You, O Master, sanctify me in your divine Epiphany, only benevolent Lord.” [MLGS] |

Ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐβόα· Οὐ τολμῶ κρατῆσαι κορυφῆς ἀθανάτου. Τὸ Πνεῦμα κατήρχετο ἐν εἴδει περιστερᾶς, ἁγιάσαι τὰ ὕδατα· καὶ φωνῇ οὐρανόθεν· Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱός μου, ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, σῶσαι γένος ἀνθρώπων. Κύριε δόξα σοι. |
Come, let us imitate those virgins who were wise. Come, let us go out to meet the Lord. For behold, as the bridegroom, He has come to John. When the Jordan saw You, O Lord, it cowered in fear and stood still in its course. John exclaimed, “I do not dare to lay my hand on Your immortal head.” The Spirit descended in the form of a dove and sanctified the waters, and a voice was heard from heaven: “This is my beloved Son who came into the world to save the human race.” O Lord, glory to You.

Βαπτίζεται Χριστός, καὶ ἄνεισιν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος· συναναφέρει γὰρ ἑαυτῷ τὸν κόσμον· καὶ ὁρᾷ σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανούς, οὓς ὁ Ἀδὰμ ἔκλεισεν ἑαυτῷ, καὶ τοῖς μετʼ αὐτόν. Καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα μαρτυρεῖ τῇ Θεότητι· τῷ ὁμοίῳ γὰρ προστρέχει· καὶ φωνὴ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ· ἐκεῖθεν γὰρ ὁ μαρτυρούμενος, Σωτὴρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν. |
Christ is baptized and, coming up out of the water, He lifts up the world together with himself. He beholds the heavens torn open, which Adam closed to himself and his posterity. The Spirit, testifying to His divinity, descends upon Him who shares Its own nature. The voice bears witness from heaven, showing by this the origin of Him who is the Savior of our souls. [MLGS] |

The hand of the Baptist trembled as he touched Your immaculate head. The Jordan river turned back in fear not daring to minister to you. Indeed, was it possible for the river that once stood back in respect of Joshua, son of Nun, not to turn away in fear and awe when it encountered Joshua’s Creator? O Savior, in Your Epiphany, you perfectly fulfilled the plan of your dispensation to save the world, only benevolent Lord. [MLGS] |

O Lord, when You wished to accomplish what You had of old determined to do, You engaged ministers from all creation to perform Your mystery: Gabriel from the Angels; the Virgin from mankind; the Star from the heavens; and from the waters, the Jordan River, in which You blotted out the world’s transgression.

Nature is illumined today. The universe celebrates today, everyone in heaven as well as on earth. Angels and humans are mingling; for wherever the King is, His retinue goes there as well. So let us all run to the Jordan River; and we shall see John there, and witness how he baptizes the Master’s head, which is spiritual and sinless. And now, in the words of the Apostle, let us sing together and cry out: “The grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men,” enlightening believers and granting them the great mercy. [SD] |
