Composite 12 - 3 [1] Kings 17.1-23 § 187

The word of the Lord came to the Prophet Elias and he said to Achab, ‘As the Lord the God of powers lives, the God of Israel, before whom I stand today, there shall be neither dew nor rain during these years, except by my mouth.’ The word of the Lord came to Elias, saying, ‘Go from here and towards the east, and hide yourself in the brook Chorrath, which is opposite the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I am commanding the ravens to feed you there.’ So he went and settled by the brook Chorrath, which is opposite the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread in the morning, and meat in the evening; and he drank water from the brook. And it cane to pass after some days that the brook dried up, because there was no rain on the land. Then the word of the Lord came to Elias, saying, ‘Arise and go to Sarepta, which belongs to Sidon, and settle there; for see, I am commanding a widow there to feed you.’ And he arose and went to Sarepta, to the gate of the city. And a widow was there gathering sticks. And Elias he called after her and said, ‘Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.’ As she was going to bring it, he called after her and said, ‘Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.’ But the woman said, ‘As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in the jar, and a little oil in the jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my children, that we may eat it, and die.’ Elias said to her, ‘Take courage. Go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your children. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of flour will not fail and the jug of oil will not grow less until the day that the Lord sends rain on the whole land.’ The woman went and did as Elias said, and he and she and her children ate. And from that day the jar of flour did not fail, neither did the jug of oil grow less, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elias. After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then said to Elias, ‘Why do you trouble me, man of God? Have you come to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son?’ But he said to her, ‘Give me your son.’ He took him from her bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he was lodging, and laid him on his own bed. He cried out to the Lord, ‘Alas, Lord my God, you have brought calamity upon the widow with whom I am staying, whose witness you are, by killing her son.’ Then he breathed upon the child three times, and called on the Lord and said, ‘Lord my God, let this child’s life come into him again.’ And so it happened and he cried out. And the Lord listened to the voice of Elias; the child’s soul came into him again, and he lived. Elias took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother. Then Elias said, ‘See, your son is alive.’ So the woman said to Elias, ‘Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is true.’

Composite 13 - 3 [1] Kings 18, 19 § 188

The word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite in the third year, saying, ‘Go, and appear before Achab, and I will give rain on the face of the land. And it came to pass that when Achab saw Elias, he said to him, ‘Is it you, the one who is troubling Israel?’ He answered, ‘I am not troubling Israel; but you are, and your father’s house, by forsaking the Lord our God and following Baal. Now therefore have all Israel assemble to me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of the scared groves, who eat at Jezebel’s table.’ So Achab sent to all Israel, and assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel. Elias said to them, ‘How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.’ Then Elias said to the people, ‘I, even I only, am left a prophet of the Lord; but the prophets of the sacred grove are very many. Let two bulls be given to us; let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it; I will prepare the other bull, but put no fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god and I will call on the name of the Lord my God. And the god who answers by fire shall be God.’ All the people answered, ‘The word you have spoken today is good.’ Then Elias said to the prophets of shame, ‘Choose for yourselves one calf and prepare it first; then call on the name of your god, but put no fire to it.’ So they took the calf, prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, crying, ‘O Baal, hear us!’ But there was no voice, and no answer. They ran upon the altar that they had made. At noon Elias the Thesbite mocked them, saying, ‘Cry aloud! For your god likes garrulousness.’ And when the time of the offering of the oblation came, there was nothing. Then Elias the Thesbite said to the prophets of abominations, ‘Stand aside now, and I will offer my holocaust’. And Elias said to the people, ‘Come close’. And all the people came closer to him. Elias took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of Israel, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, ‘Israel shall be your name’. With the stones he built and repaired the altar of the Lord that had been cast down. Then he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two measures of seed. Next he put the pieces of wood on the altar he had made, cut the holocaust in pieces, and laid them on the pieces of wood and piled them on the altar. He said, ‘Bring me two jars of water and pour it on the holocaust and on the pieces of wood.’ Then he said, ‘Do it a second time’; and they did it a second time. Again he said, ‘Do it a third time’; and they did it a third time, so that the water ran all around the altar, and filled the trench also with water. And the prophet Elias cried aloud to heaven and said, ‘Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, hear me today by fire. And let this people known that you alone the Lord. the God of Israel, that I am your servant, and that through you I have done all these things, and that you have turned back the heart of this people to you.’ Then fire from the Lord fell from heaven and consumed the holocaust and the pieces of wood; and the fire licked up the water that was in the trench, the stones, and the dust. And the people fell on their faces and said, ‘The Lord indeed is God; he is God.’ Elias said to them, ‘Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.’ Then they seized them; and Elias brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there. And after this Elias said to Achab, ‘There is a sound of rushing rain. Harness your chariot and go down, lest the rain catch you.’ Then Elias went up to the top of Carmel; there he bowed himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees and prayed to the Lord. And the heavens grew black with clouds and wind; there was a heavy rain. Achab went to Jezreel. Achab told Jezebel his wife all that Elias had done. Then Jezebel sent to Elias, saying, ‘Tomorrow I will sacrifice your life like one of them.’ And Elias heard and was afraid; he arose and fled for his life, and came to Beersheba, in the land of Juda; he left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly someone touched him and said to him, ‘Arise and eat and drink, for you have a long journey.’ Elias looked, and there at his head was a cake of flour and a jar of water. He arose, ate and drank, and slept again. The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, ‘Arise and eat and drink, for you have a long journey.’ He arose, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to mount Horeb. There he entered a cave, and spent the night there. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, ‘What are you doing here, Elias?’ Elias answered, ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord, the Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘Go, return to your way and you will come to the desert way of Damascus; and you shall anoint Elissaios son of Shaphat as prophet in your place.

Composite 14 - 3 [1] Kings 19.19, 20, 21; 4 [2] Kings 2.1,6-14 § 189

A day came and Elias found Elissaios son of Saphat, who was ploughing. Elias passed by him and threw his mantle over him. Elissaios left the oxen, ran after Elias, and ministered to him. And it came to pass, when the Lord took Elias in a whirlwind as though up to heaven, that Elias went with Elissaios to Galgala. Then Elias said to Elissaios, ‘Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.’ But he said, ‘As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.’ So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the sons of the prophets came, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Elias took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water with it; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and the two of them crossed on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elias said to Elissaios, ‘Ask me what I may do for you, before I am taken up from you.’ Elissaios said, ‘Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.’ He responded, ‘You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken up from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not.’ It came to pass that as they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elias was taken up in a whirlwind as if into heaven. Elissaios kept watching and crying out, ‘Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!’ But when he could no longer see him, Elissaios grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He picked up the mantle of Elias that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Elissaios took the mantle of Elias that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, ‘Where then is the God of Elias, Appho?’ And so he struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elissaios went over on dry ground.

Luke 4.22-30 § 14

And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

καὶ πάντες ἐμαρτύρουν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις τῆς χάριτος τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ;

И҆ всѝ свидѣ́тельствовахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, [Заⷱ҇ 14] и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ блгⷣти, и҆сходѧ́щихъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: не се́й ли є҆́сть сн҃ъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ;

And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πάντως ἐρεῖτέ μοι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν· ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα ἐν τῇ Καπερναούμ, ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου.

И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: всѧ́кѡ рече́те мѝ при́тчꙋ сїю̀: врачꙋ̀, и҆сцѣли́сѧ са́мъ: є҆ли̑ка слы́шахомъ бы̑вшаѧ въ капернаꙋ́мѣ, сотворѝ и҆ здѣ̀ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ.

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

εἶπε δέ· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς προφήτης δεκτός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ.

Рече́ же: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никото́рый прⷪ҇ро́къ прїѧ́тенъ є҆́сть во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ:

But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, πολλαὶ χῆραι ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἠλιοὺ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτε ἐκλείσθη ὁ οὐρανὸς ἐπὶ ἔτη τρία καὶ μῆνας ἕξ, ὡς ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν,

пои́стиннѣ же гл҃ю ва́мъ: мнѡ́ги вдови̑цы бѣ́ша во дни̑ и҆лїины̑ во і҆и҃ли, є҆гда̀ заключи́сѧ не́бо трѝ лѣ̑та и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сть гла́дъ вели́къ по все́й землѝ:

But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

καὶ πρὸς οὐδεμίαν αὐτῶν ἐπέμφθη Ἠλίας εἰ μὴ εἰς Σάρεπτα τῆς Σιδωνίας πρὸς γυναῖκα χήραν.

и҆ ни ко є҆ди́нѣй и҆́хъ по́сланъ бы́сть и҆лїа̀, то́кмѡ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю къ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ:

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

καὶ πολλοὶ λεπροὶ ἦσαν ἐπὶ Ἐλισαίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐκαθαρίσθη εἰ μὴ Νεεμὰν ὁ Σύρος.

и҆ мно́зи прокаже́ни бѣ́хꙋ при є҆лїссе́и прⷪ҇ро́цѣ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ ѡ҆чи́стисѧ, то́кмѡ неема́нъ сѷрїани́нъ.

And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες θυμοῦ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ ἀκούοντες ταῦτα,

И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆́рости въ со́нмищи, слы́шавшїи сїѧ̑:

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἕως ὀφρύος τοῦ ὄρους, ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἡ πόλις αὐτῶν ᾠκοδόμητο, εἰς τὸ κατακρημνίσαι αὐτόν.

и҆ воста́вше и҆згна́ша є҆го̀ во́нъ и҆з̾ гра́да, и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ до верхꙋ̀ горы̀, на не́йже гра́дъ и҆́хъ со́зданъ бѧ́ше, да бы́ша є҆го̀ низри́нꙋли:

But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

αὐτὸς δὲ διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο.

ѻ҆́нъ же проше́дъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆дѧ́ше.

1 Corinthians 7:12–24 § 137

Brethren, if any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not divorce her… And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, and if he is pleased to live with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you shall save your wife? But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the Churches. Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it. For he who is called in the Lord while a servant is the Lord's freeman. Likewise he who is called while free is the servant of Christ. You were bought with a price; do not become servants of men… Brethren, let every man abide with God in that calling in which he was called…

James 5:10–20 (Prophet Elijah) § 57e

Prophet Elijah

Brethren, take the Prophets, who spoke in the Name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes,” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing Psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he shall be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elijah was a man subject to passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Matthew 14.35-15.11 § 60

Chapter 14

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

καὶ ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον ἐκείνην, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας,

[Заⷱ҇ 60] И҆ позна́вше є҆го̀ мꙋ́жїе мѣ́ста тогѡ̀, посла́ша во всю̀ странꙋ̀ тꙋ̀, и҆ принесо́ша къ немꙋ̀ всѧ̑ болѧ́щыѧ:

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα κἂν μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν.

и҆ молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀, да то́кмѡ прико́снꙋтсѧ вскри́лїю ри́зы є҆гѡ̀: и҆ є҆ли́цы прикоснꙋ́шасѧ, сп҃се́ни бы́ша.

Chapter 15

THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

Τότε προσέρχονται τῷ Ἰησοῦ οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες·

Тогда̀ пристꙋпи́ша ко і҆и҃сови и҆̀же ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є, глаго́люще:

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

διατί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσι τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; οὐ γὰρ νίπτονται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ὅταν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.

почто̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ твоѝ престꙋпа́ютъ преда́нїе ста́рєцъ; не ᲂу҆мыва́ютъ бо рꙋ́къ свои́хъ, є҆гда̀ хлѣ́бъ ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ.

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· διατί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν;

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: почто̀ и҆ вы̀ престꙋпа́ете за́повѣдь бж҃їю за преда́нїе ва́ше;

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων· τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα· καὶ ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.

Бг҃ъ бо заповѣ́да, гл҃ѧ: чтѝ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆ ма́терь: и҆, и҆́же ѕлосло́витъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ.

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς, καὶ οὐ μὴ τιμήσῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ·

Вы́ же глаго́лете: и҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тери: да́ръ, и҆́мже бы ѿ менє̀ по́льзовалсѧ є҆сѝ:

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

καὶ ἠκυρώσατε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν.

и҆ да не почти́тъ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тере {ма́тере своеѧ̀}: и҆ разори́сте за́повѣдь бж҃їю за преда́нїе ва́ше.

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

ὑποκριταί, καλῶς προεφήτευσε περὶ ὑμῶν Ἡσαΐας λέγων·

Лицемѣ́ри, до́брѣ прⷪ҇ро́чествова ѡ҆ ва́съ и҆са́їа, глаго́лѧ:

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

ἐγγίζει μοι ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς χείλεσί με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·

приближа́ютсѧ мнѣ̀ лю́дїе сі́и ᲂу҆сты̑ свои́ми и҆ ᲂу҆стна́ми чтꙋ́тъ мѧ̀: се́рдце же и҆́хъ дале́че ѿстои́тъ ѿ менє̀:

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.

всꙋ́е же чтꙋ́тъ мѧ̀, ᲂу҆ча́ще ᲂу҆че́нїємъ, за́повѣдемъ человѣ́чєскимъ.

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε·

И҆ призва́въ наро́ды, речѐ и҆̀мъ: слы́шите и҆ разꙋмѣ́йте:

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.

не входѧ́щее во ᲂу҆ста̀ скверни́тъ человѣ́ка: но и҆сходѧ́щее и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ, то̀ скверни́тъ человѣ́ка.
