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 5:1–8
§ 228
Ephesians 5:1–8 § 228
Brethren, be followers of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting: but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord…
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 13.18-29
§ 72
Luke 13.18-29 § 72
Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
Ἔλεγε δέ· τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν;
[Заⷱ҇ 72] Гл҃аше же: комꙋ̀ подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе; и҆ комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́блю є҆̀;
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
ὁμοία ἐστὶ κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ηὔξησε καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον μέγα, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ.
подо́бно є҆́сть зе́рнꙋ горꙋ́шнꙋ, є҆́же прїе́мь человѣ́къ вве́рже въ вертогра́дъ сво́й: и҆ возрастѐ, и҆ бы́сть дре́во ве́лїе, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ всели́шасѧ въ вѣ́твїе є҆гѡ̀.
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Πάλιν εἶπε· τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
Па́ки речѐ: комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́блю црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе;
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
ὁμοία ἐστὶ ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ ἔκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον.
подо́бно є҆́сть ква́сꙋ, є҆го́же прїе́мши жена̀, скры̀ въ са́тѣхъ трїе́хъ мꙋкѝ, до́ндеже вски́се всѐ.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Καὶ διεπορεύετο κατὰ πόλεις καὶ κώμας διδάσκων καὶ πορείαν ποιούμενος εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
И҆ прохожда́ше сквозѣ̀ гра́ды и҆ вє́си, ᲂу҆чѧ̀ и҆ ше́ствїе творѧ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
εἶπε δέ τις αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ ὀλίγοι οἱ σῳζόμενοι; ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς·
Рече́ же нѣ́кїй є҆мꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще ма́лѡ є҆́сть спаса́ющихсѧ; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ:
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
ἀγωνίζεσθε εἰσελθεῖν διὰ τῆς στενῆς πύλης· ὅτι πολλοί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητήσουσιν εἰσελθεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύσουσιν.
подвиза́йтесѧ вни́ти сквозѣ̀ тѣ̑снаѧ врата̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи, гл҃ю ва́мъ, взы́щꙋтъ вни́ти, и҆ не возмо́гꙋтъ.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
ἀφ᾿ οὗ ἂν ἐγερθῇ ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης καὶ ἀποκλείσῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἄρξησθε ἔξω ἑστάναι καὶ κρούειν τὴν θύραν λέγοντες· Κύριε Κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν· καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ἐρεῖ ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ.
Ѿне́лѣже воста́нетъ до́мꙋ влады́ка и҆ затвори́тъ двє́ри, и҆ на́чнете внѣ̀ стоѧ́ти и҆ ᲂу҆дарѧ́ти въ двє́ри, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, ѿве́рзи на́мъ. И҆ ѿвѣща́въ рече́тъ ва́мъ: не вѣ́мъ ва́съ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ.
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
τότε ἄρξεσθε λέγειν· ἐφάγομεν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἐπίομεν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἐδίδαξας·
Тогда̀ на́чнете глаго́лати: ꙗ҆до́хомъ пред̾ тобо́ю и҆ пи́хомъ, и҆ на распꙋ́тїихъ на́шихъ ᲂу҆чи́лъ є҆сѝ.
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
καὶ ἐρεῖ· λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ· ἀπόστητε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐργάται τῆς ἀδικίας.
И҆ рече́тъ: гл҃ю ва́мъ, не вѣ́мъ ва́съ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ: ѿстꙋпи́те ѿ менє̀, всѝ дѣ́лателїе непра́вды.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων, ὅταν ὄψησθε Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὑμᾶς δὲ ἐκβαλλομένους ἔξω,
Тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́зрите а҆враа́ма и҆ і҆саа́ка и҆ і҆а́кѡва и҆ всѧ̑ прⷪ҇ро́ки во црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи, ва́съ же и҆згони́мыхъ во́нъ.
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
καὶ ἥξουσιν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ νότου, καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
И҆ прїи́дꙋтъ ѿ востѡ́къ и҆ за̑падъ и҆ сѣ́вера и҆ ю҆́га, и҆ возлѧ́гꙋтъ въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
