§ 116
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Οἱ δὲ ἕνδεκα μαθηταὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, εἰς τὸ ὄρος οὗ ἐτάξατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
[Заⷱ҇ 116] Є҆ди́нїи же на́десѧте ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ и҆до́ша въ галїле́ю, въ го́рꙋ, а҆́може повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ:
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, οἱ δὲ ἐδίστασαν.
и҆ ви́дѣвше є҆го̀, поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀: ѻ҆́ви же ᲂу҆сꙋмнѣ́шасѧ.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἐδόθη μοι πᾶσα ἐξουσία ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς.
И҆ пристꙋ́пль і҆и҃съ, речѐ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: даде́сѧ мѝ всѧ́ка вла́сть на нб҃сѝ и҆ на землѝ:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
πορευθέντες μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος,
ше́дше ᲂу҆̀бо наꙋчи́те всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, крⷭ҇тѧ́ще и҆̀хъ во и҆́мѧ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ сн҃а и҆ ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а,
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
διδάσκοντες αὐτοὺς τηρεῖν πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν εἰμι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν.
ᲂу҆ча́ще и҆̀хъ блюстѝ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́дахъ ва́мъ: и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ съ ва́ми є҆́смь во всѧ̑ дни̑ до сконча́нїѧ вѣ́ка. А҆ми́нь.

Ephesians 2:4–10
§ 220
Ephesians 2:4–10 § 220
Brethren, God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Luke 13.10-17
§ 71
Luke 13.10-17 § 71
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Ἦν δὲ διδάσκων ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν ἐν τοῖς σάββασι.
[Заⷱ҇ 71] Бѧ́ше же ᲂу҆чѧ̀ на є҆ди́нѣмъ ѿ со́нмищъ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ:
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ ἦν πνεῦμα ἔχουσα ἀσθενείας ἔτη δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ ἦν συγκύπτουσα καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακῦψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές.
и҆ сѐ, жена̀ бѣ̀ и҆мꙋ́щи дꙋ́хъ недꙋ́женъ лѣ́тъ ѻ҆смьна́десѧть, и҆ бѣ̀ слѧ́ка и҆ не могꙋ́щи восклони́тисѧ ѿню́дъ.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὴν ὁ Ἰησοῦς προσεφώνησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· γύναι, ἀπολέλυσαι τῆς ἀσθενείας σου·
Ви́дѣвъ же ю҆̀ і҆и҃съ, пригласѝ и҆ речѐ є҆́й: же́но, ѿпꙋщена̀ є҆сѝ ѿ недꙋ́га твоегѡ̀.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας· καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνωρθώθη καὶ ἐδόξαζε τὸν Θεόν.
И҆ возложѝ на ню̀ рꙋ́цѣ: и҆ а҆́бїе простре́сѧ и҆ сла́влѧше бг҃а.
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος, ἀγανακτῶν ὅτι τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγε τῷ ὄχλῳ· ἓξ ἡμέραι εἰσὶν ἐν αἷς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι· ἐν ταύταις οὖν ἐρχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου.
Ѿвѣща́въ же старѣ́йшина собо́рꙋ, негодꙋ́ѧ, занѐ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ и҆сцѣлѝ (ю҆̀) і҆и҃съ, глаго́лаше наро́дꙋ: ше́сть дні́й є҆́сть, въ нѧ́же досто́итъ дѣ́лати: въ ты̑ѧ ᲂу҆̀бо приходѧ́ще цѣли́тесѧ, а҆ не въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный.
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν· ὑποκριτά, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν τῷ σαββάτῳ οὐ λύει τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὸν ὄνον ἀπὸ τῆς φάτνης καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν ποτίζει;
Ѿвѣща́ (же) ᲂу҆̀бо є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ речѐ: лицемѣ́ре, ко́ждо ва́съ въ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ не ѿрѣша́етъ ли своего̀ вола̀ и҆лѝ ѻ҆сла̀ ѿ ꙗ҆́слїй, и҆ ве́дъ напаѧ́етъ;
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
ταύτην δέ, θυγατέρα Ἀβραὰμ οὖσαν, ἣν ἔδησεν ὁ σατανᾶς ἰδοὺ δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, οὐκ ἔδει λυθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου;
сїю́ же дще́рь а҆враа́млю сꙋ́щꙋ, ю҆́же свѧза̀ сатана̀, сѐ, ѻ҆смоена́десѧте лѣ́то, не досто́ѧше ли разрѣши́тисѧ є҆́й ѿ ю҆́зы сеѧ̀ въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный;
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ κατῃσχύνοντο πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τοῖς γινομένοις ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
И҆ сїѧ̑ є҆мꙋ̀ гл҃ющꙋ, стыдѧ́хꙋсѧ всѝ противлѧ́ющїисѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ всѝ лю́дїе ра́довахꙋсѧ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ сла́вныхъ быва́ющихъ ѿ негѡ̀.
