Ἐθελουσίως ἐπὶ ξύλου ὑψώθης Λόγε, καὶ ὁρῶσαι ἐῤῥήγνυντο αἱ πέτραι, καὶ ἡ κτίσις ἐκλονεῖτο ἅπασα, καὶ νεκροὶ ἐκ τῶν τάφων, ὡς ὕπνου ἐξηγείροντο.

You voluntarily were lifted on the cross, O Logos. * When they saw it, the rocks were split asunder, * and the earth and all creation shook in fear, * and the bodies of many who had fallen asleep were raised. [GOASD]

Μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν Θεὸν ὄψονται.

When You descended with Your soul to Hades, O Logos, * all the souls of righteous saw You, O Savior. * They were freed from the bonds that for ages had * held them, and they praised Your incomprehensible dominion. [GOASD]

Μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὅτι αὐτοὶ Υἱοὶ Θεοῦ κληθήσονται.

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely [for my sake]. [RSV]

Σταυρῷ σε οἱ παράνομοι, Ἰησοῦ ἥλωσαν, καὶ λόγχῃ ἐξεκέντησαν Χριστέ, καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ὁ εὐσχήμων σε κηδεύει, ἐν τῷ καινῷ μνημείῳ· ἐξ οὗ μετὰ δόξης ἐξαναστάς, συνανέστησας Σωτήρ, πᾶσαν κτίσιν ὑμνοῦσαν τὸ κράτος σου.

Transgressors of the Law had You, Jesus Christ, crucified; * a Roman soldier pierced You in the side, * and You were buried in a new, unused tomb by the respected Joseph. * O Savior, when with glory You arose, * with yourself You also raised all creation, which lauded Your might, O Lord. [GOASD]

Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven. [RSV]

Ῥεῖθρον ὑπάρχων Κύριε, τῆς ζωῆς ἄφθονον, καὶ ἄβυσσος ἐλέους ἀγαθὲ ὁδοιπορήσας καθέζῃ, πλησίον τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ τῇ Σαμαρείτιδι ἐκβοᾷς· Δός μοι ὕδωρ τοῦ πιεῖν, ὅπως λάβῃς ἀφέσεως νάματα.

As You are the most copious stream of life, Lord our God, * and ocean of mercy and tender love, * and being wearied with Your journey, You sat down beside the well of Jacob. * To the Samaritan woman You said, * “Give me water to drink, that You may receive the waters of forgiveness.” [GOASD]

Δόξα. Τριαδικόν.

Ὑμνῶ Πατέρα ἄναρχον, καὶ Υἱὸν σύνθρονον καὶ Πνεῦμα ὁμοούσιον πιστῶς, μίαν οὐσίαν, καὶ φύσιν καὶ δόξαν, καὶ μίαν Βασιλείαν, Θεὸν τῶν ἁπάντων καὶ ποιητήν, συνοχέα τοῦ παντός, μετὰ τῶν ἀσωμάτων Δυνάμεων.

Joining the incorporeal hosts on high, faithfully * I praise the Holy Trinity, one God, * creator and sustainer of the whole world: * unoriginate Father, His coequal and co-eternal Son, * and the consubstantial Spirit: the one essence, nature, glory, and rule. [GOASD]

Καὶ νῦν. Θεοτοκίον.

Both now. Theotokion.

Παρθένον μόνην τίκτουσαν, καὶ νηδὺν ἄφθορον τηρήσασαν, ὑμνοῦμέν σε Ἁγνὴ θρόνον Κυρίου, καὶ πύλην καὶ ὄρος, καὶ νοητὴν λυχνίαν, νυμφῶνα ὁλόφωτον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ σκηνὴν δόξης σαφῶς, κιβωτόν τε καὶ στάμνον καὶ τράπεζαν.

O Lady, we all sing your praise. Only you bore a child * and preserved your virginity intact. * You were prefigured by items in Scripture: * throne of the Lord, the mountain, the gate, the lamp, the bright chamber of God, * glorious Tabernacle, jar and table and Ark of the covenant. [GOASD]

When the women disciples of the Lord heard the Angel joyously proclaim the resurrection, they cast aside the ancestral verdict, and boasting in glory they said to the Apostles, “Death has been despoiled! Christ God has risen, granting the great mercy to the world!” [GOASD]

Ὁ Ἀπόστολος

The Epistle

Τῇ Παρασκευῇ τῆς Εʹ Ἑβδομάδος

Friday of the 5th Week

Πράξεων τῶν Ἀποστόλων τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from the Acts of the Apostles.

Πραξ 15:5 – 12

Acts 15:5 – 12

Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, ἐξανέστησάν τινες τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς αἱρέσεως τῶν Φαρισαίων πεπιστευκότες, λέγοντες ὅτι δεῖ περιτέμνειν αὐτοὺς παραγγέλλειν τε τηρεῖν τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως. Συνήχθησαν δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἰδεῖν περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου. Πολλῆς δὲ συζητήσεως γενομένης ἀναστὰς Πέτρος εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ὅτι ἀφ᾿ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν ἐξελέξατο διὰ τοῦ στόματός μου ἀκοῦσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὸν λόγον τοῦ εὐαγγελίου καὶ πιστεῦσαι. καὶ ὁ καρδιογνώστης Θεὸς ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς δοὺς αὐτοῖς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον καθὼς καὶ ἡμῖν, καὶ οὐδὲν διέκρινε μεταξὺ ἡμῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν. νῦν οὖν τί πειράζετε τὸν Θεόν, ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῶν μαθητῶν, ὃν οὔτε οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὔτε ἡμεῖς ἰσχύσαμεν βαστάσαι; ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθ᾿ ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι. Ἐσίγησε δὲ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος καὶ ἤκουον Βαρνάβα καὶ Παύλου ἐξηγουμένων ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι δι᾿ αὐτῶν.

In those days, some believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees rose up, and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.” The apostles and the elders met together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us; and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith. Now therefore why do you make trial of God by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. [RSV]

Τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον

The Gospel

Τῇ Παρασκευῇ τῆς Εʹ Ἑβδομάδος

Friday of the 5th Week

Ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Ἰωάννην ἁγίου Εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα.

The reading is from the holy Gospel according to John.

Ιω 10:17 – 28

Jn. 10:17 – 28

Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος πρὸς τοὺς ἐληλυθότας πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰουδαίους· διὰ τοῦτο ὁ πατήρ με ἀγαπᾷ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν. οὐδεὶς αἴρει αὐτὴν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ· ἐξουσίαν ἔχω θεῖναι αὐτήν, καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν· ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου. Σχίσμα οὖν πάλιν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις διὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους. ἔλεγον δὲ πολλοὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν· δαιμόνιον ἔχει καὶ μαίνεται· τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε; ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα οὐκ ἔστι δαιμονιζομένου· μὴ δαιμόνιον δύναται τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοίγειν; Ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις, καὶ χειμὼν ἦν· καὶ περιεπάτει ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τοῦ Σολομῶντος. ἐκύκλωσαν οὖν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ· ἕως πότε τὴν ψυχὴν ἡμῶν αἴρεις; εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός, εἰπὲ ἡμῖν παρρησίᾳ. ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἶπον ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε· τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου, ταῦτα μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ· ἀλλ᾽ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστε ἐκ τῶν προβάτων τῶν ἐμῶν, καθὼς εἶπον ὑμῖν. τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούει, κἀγὼ γινώσκω αὐτά, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσί μοι, κἀγὼ ζωὴν αἰώνιον δίδωμι αὐτοῖς.

The Lord said to the Jews who came to him, “For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.” There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, “He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?” Others said, “These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life.” [RSV]

   

   

Ὕμνος εἰς τὴν Θεοτόκον.

Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον, τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ, τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν, τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.

It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Logos. We magnify you, the true Theotokos.
