Ephesians 6:10–17 § 233 (Saturday after Theophany)

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 …

1 Thessalonians 5:14–23 § 273

1 Thessalonians 5:14–23 § 273

Brethren, we exhort you, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves, and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast that what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…

Saturday after Theophany

1

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,

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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,

6

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.

7

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.

8

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,

9

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.

10

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.

11

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 10.16-21 § 51

Luke 10.16-21 § 51

16

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Ὁ ἀκούων ὑμῶν ἐμοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ ὁ ἀθετῶν ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ ἀθετεῖ· ὁ δὲ ἐμὲ ἀθετῶν ἀθετεῖ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.

[Заⷱ҇ 51] Слꙋ́шаѧй ва́съ, менѐ слꙋ́шаетъ: и҆ ѿмета́ѧйсѧ ва́съ, менє̀ ѿмета́етсѧ: ѿмета́ѧйсѧ же менє̀, ѿмета́етсѧ посла́вшагѡ мѧ̀.

17

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

Ὑπέστρεψαν δὲ οἱ ἑβδομήκοντα μετὰ χαρᾶς λέγοντες· Κύριε, καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ὑποτάσσεται ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου.

Возврати́шасѧ же се́дмьдесѧтъ съ ра́достїю, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, и҆ бѣ́си повинꙋ́ютсѧ на́мъ ѡ҆ и҆́мени твое́мъ.

18

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ἐθεώρουν τὸν σατανᾶν ὡς ἀστραπὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντα.

Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: ви́дѣхъ сатанꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́лнїю съ небесѐ спа́дша.

19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

ἰδοὺ δίδωμι ὑμῖν τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, καὶ οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσῃ.

[Заⷱ҇] Сѐ, даю̀ ва́мъ вла́сть настꙋпа́ти на ѕмїю̀ и҆ на скорпі́ю и҆ на всю̀ си́лꙋ вра́жїю: и҆ ничесѡ́же ва́съ вреди́тъ:

20

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

πλὴν ἐν τούτῳ μὴ χαίρετε, ὅτι τὰ πνεύματα ὑμῖν ὑποτάσσεται· χαίρετε δὲ ὅτι τὰ ὀνόματα ὑμῶν ἐγράφη ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

ѻ҆ба́че ѡ҆ се́мъ не ра́дꙋйтесѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋ́си ва́мъ повинꙋ́ютсѧ: ра́дꙋйтесѧ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆мена̀ ва̑ша напи̑сана сꙋ́ть на нб҃сѣ́хъ.

21

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἠγαλλιάσατο τῷ πνεύματι ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ, κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις· ναί, ὁ πατήρ, ὅτι οὕτως ἐγένετο εὐδοκία ἔμπροσθέν σου.

Въ то́й ча́съ возра́довасѧ дх҃омъ і҆и҃съ и҆ речѐ: и҆сповѣ́даютисѧ, ѻ҆́ч҃е, гдⷭ҇и нб҃сѐ и҆ землѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆таи́лъ є҆сѝ сїѧ̑ ѿ премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ разꙋ́мныхъ, и҆ ѿкры́лъ є҆сѝ та̑ младе́нцємъ: є҆́й, ѻ҆́ч҃е, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ бы́сть бл҃говоле́нїе пред̾ тобо́ю.
