Ephesians 6:10–17 (Saturday after Theophany) § 233
Saturday after Theophany
Brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the high places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girded with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God …
Ephesians 1:16–23
§ 218
Ephesians 1:16–23 § 218
Brethren, I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation… in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come … And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all…
Matthew 4.1-11 (Saturday after Theophany) § 7
Saturday after Theophany
THEN was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνήχθη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὑπὸ τοῦ Πνεύματος πειρασθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου,
[Заⷱ҇ 7] Тогда̀ і҆и҃съ возведе́нъ бы́сть дх҃омъ въ пꙋсты́ню и҆скꙋси́тисѧ ѿ дїа́вола,
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσαράκοντα ὕστερον ἐπείνασε.
и҆ пости́всѧ дні́й четы́редесѧть и҆ но́щїй четы́редесѧть, послѣдѝ взалка̀.
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
καὶ προσελθὼν αὐτῷ ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται.
И҆ пристꙋ́пль къ немꙋ̀ и҆скꙋси́тель речѐ: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, рцы̀, да ка́менїе сїѐ хлѣ́бы бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε· γέγραπται, οὐκ ἐπ᾿ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ παντὶ ρήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος Θεοῦ.
Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ: пи́сано є҆́сть: не ѡ҆ хлѣ́бѣ є҆ди́нѣмъ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ, но ѡ҆ всѧ́цѣмъ гл҃го́лѣ и҆сходѧ́щемъ и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ бж҃їихъ.
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Τότε παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν, καὶ ἵστησιν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ πτερύγιον τοῦ ἱεροῦ
Тогда̀ поѧ́тъ є҆го̀ дїа́волъ во ст҃ы́й гра́дъ, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ на крилѣ̀ церко́внѣмъ,
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, βάλε σεαυτόν κάτω· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.
и҆ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, ве́рзисѧ ни́зꙋ: пи́сано бо є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лѡмъ свои̑мъ заповѣ́сть ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ (сохрани́ти тѧ̀), и҆ на рꙋка́хъ во́змꙋтъ тѧ̀, да не когда̀ преткне́ши ѡ҆ ка́мень но́гꙋ твою̀.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πάλιν γέγραπται, οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου.
Рече́ (же) є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: па́ки пи́сано є҆́сть: не и҆скꙋ́сиши гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀.
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Πάλιν παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν λίαν καὶ δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν
Па́ки поѧ́тъ є҆го̀ дїа́волъ на горꙋ̀ высокꙋ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑ ца̑рствїѧ мі́ра и҆ сла́вꙋ и҆́хъ,
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ταῦτα πάντα σοι δώσω, ἐὰν πεσὼν προσκυνήσῃς μοι.
и҆ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ тебѣ̀ да́мъ, а҆́ще па́дъ поклони́шимисѧ.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, σατανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ, Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.
Тогда̀ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: и҆дѝ за мно́ю, сатано̀: пи́сано бо є҆́сть: гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀ поклони́шисѧ и҆ томꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ послꙋ́жиши.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελοι προσῆλθον καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
Тогда̀ ѡ҆ста́ви є҆го̀ дїа́волъ, и҆ сѐ, а҆́гг҃ли пристꙋпи́ша и҆ слꙋжа́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀.
Luke 12.32-40
§ 67
Luke 12.32-40 § 67
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
μὴ φοβοῦ τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον· ὅτι εὐδόκησεν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν βασιλείαν.
[Заⷱ҇ 67] Не бо́йсѧ, ма́лое ста́до: ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гоизво́ли ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ да́ти ва́мъ црⷭ҇тво.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Πωλήσατε τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ὑμῶν καὶ δότε ἐλεημοσύνην. ποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς βαλλάντια μὴ παλαιούμενα, θησαυρὸν ἀνέκλειπτον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ὅπου κλέπτης οὐκ ἐγγίζει οὐδὲ σὴς διαφθείρει·
Продади́те и҆мѣ̑нїѧ ва̑ша и҆ дади́те ми́лостыню. Сотвори́те себѣ̀ влага̑лища неветша̑юща, сокро́вище неѡскꙋдѣ́емо на нб҃сѣ́хъ, и҆дѣ́же та́ть не приближа́етсѧ, ни мо́ль растлѣва́етъ.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν ἔσται.
И҆дѣ́же бо сокро́вище ва́ше, тꙋ̀ и҆ се́рдце ва́ше бꙋ́детъ.
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι·
Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ чрє́сла ва̑ша препоѧ̑сана, и҆ свѣти́льницы горѧ́щїи:
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις τὸν κύριον ἑαυτῶν, πότε ἀναλύσει ἐκ τῶν γάμων, ἵνα ἐλθόντος καὶ κρούσαντος εὐθέως ἀνοίξωσιν αὐτῷ.
и҆ вы̀ подо́бни человѣ́кѡмъ ча́ющымъ го́спода своегѡ̀, когда̀ возврати́тсѧ ѿ бра́ка, да прише́дшꙋ и҆ толкнꙋ́вшꙋ, а҆́бїе ѿве́рзꙋтъ є҆мꙋ̀.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
μακάριοι οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι, οὓς ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος εὑρήσει γρηγοροῦντας. ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι περιζώσεται καὶ ἀνακλινεῖ αὐτούς, καὶ παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς.
Бл҃же́ни рабѝ ті́и, и҆̀хже прише́дъ госпо́дь ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ бдѧ́щихъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ препоѧ́шетсѧ и҆ посади́тъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ минꙋ́въ {пристꙋпи́въ} послꙋ́житъ и҆̀мъ.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
καὶ ἐὰν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ φυλακῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ φυλακῇ ἔλθῃ καὶ εὕρῃ οὕτω, μακάριοί εἰσιν οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι.
И҆ а҆́ще прїи́детъ во вторꙋ́ю стра́жꙋ, и҆ въ тре́тїю стра́жꙋ прїи́детъ, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ (и҆̀хъ) та́кѡ, бл҃же́ни сꙋ́ть рабѝ ті́и.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
τοῦτο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἀφῆκε διορυγῆναι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
Се́ же вѣ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бы вѣ́далъ господи́нъ хра́мины, въ кі́й ча́съ та́ть прїи́детъ, бдѣ́лъ ᲂу҆̀бо бы, и҆ не бы̀ да́лъ подкопа́ти до́мꙋ своегѡ̀:
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι· ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо бꙋ́дите гото́ви: ꙗ҆́кѡ, во́ньже ча́съ не мни́те, сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй прїи́детъ.
