John 20.11-18
§ 64
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
Μαρία δὲ εἱστήκει πρὸς τῷ μνημείῳ κλαίουσα ἔξω.
[Заⷱ҇ 64] Марі́а же стоѧ́ше ᲂу҆ гро́ба внѣ̀ пла́чꙋщи: ꙗ҆́коже пла́кашесѧ, прини́че во гро́бъ
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
ὡς οὖν ἔκλαιε, παρέκυψεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ θεωρεῖ δύο ἀγγέλους ἐν λευκοῖς καθεζομένους, ἕνα πρὸς τῇ κεφαλῇ καὶ ἕνα πρὸς τοῖς ποσίν, ὅπου ἔκειτο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
и҆ ви́дѣ два̀ а҆́гг҃ла въ бѣ́лыхъ (ри́захъ) сѣдѧ̑ща, є҆ди́наго ᲂу҆ главы̀ и҆ є҆ди́наго ᲂу҆ ногꙋ̀, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ лежа́ло тѣ́ло і҆и҃сово.
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῇ ἐκεῖνοι· γύναι, τί κλαίεις; λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὅτι ἦραν τὸν Κύριόν μου, καὶ οὐκ οἶδα ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
И҆ глаго́ласта є҆́й ѡ҆́на: же́но, что̀ пла́чешисѧ; Глаго́ла и҆́ма: ꙗ҆́кѡ взѧ́ша гдⷭ҇а моего̀, и҆ не вѣ́мъ, гдѣ̀ положи́ша є҆го̀.
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
καὶ ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ θεωρεῖ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἑστῶτα, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστι.
И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́кши ѡ҆брати́сѧ вспѧ́ть и҆ ви́дѣ і҆и҃са стоѧ́ща, и҆ не вѣ́дѧше, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ є҆́сть.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· γύναι, τί κλαίεις; τίνα ζητεῖς; ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστι, λέγει αὐτῷ· κύριε, εἰ σὺ ἐβάστασας αὐτόν, εἰπέ μοι ποῦ ἔθηκας αὐτόν, κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ.
Гл҃а є҆́й і҆и҃съ: же́но, что̀ пла́чеши; кого̀ и҆́щеши; Ѻ҆на́ (же) мнѧ́щи, ꙗ҆́кѡ вертогра́дарь є҆́сть, глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: го́споди, а҆́ще ты̀ є҆сѝ взѧ́лъ є҆го̀, повѣ́ждь мѝ, гдѣ̀ є҆сѝ положи́лъ є҆го̀, и҆ а҆́зъ возмꙋ̀ є҆го̀.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Μαρία. στραφεῖσα ἐκείνη λέγει αὐτῷ· ραββουνί, ὃ λέγεται, διδάσκαλε.
Гл҃а є҆́й і҆и҃съ: марі́е. Ѻ҆на́ (же) ѡ҆бра́щшисѧ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀: раввꙋні̀, є҆́же глаго́летсѧ, ᲂу҆чт҃лю.
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μή μου ἅπτου· οὔπω γὰρ ἀναβέβηκα πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου· πορεύου δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου καὶ εἰπὲ αὐτοῖς· ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ Θεόν μου καὶ Θεὸν ὑμῶν.
Гл҃а є҆́й і҆и҃съ: не прикаса́йсѧ мнѣ̀, не ᲂу҆̀ бо взыдо́хъ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: и҆ди́ же ко бра́тїи мое́й и҆ рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: восхождꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ ва́шемꙋ, и҆ бг҃ꙋ моемꙋ̀ и҆ бг҃ꙋ ва́шемꙋ.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
ἔρχεται Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἀπαγγέλλουσα τοῖς μαθηταῖς ὅτι ἑώρακε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ.
Прїи́де (же) марі́а магдали́на повѣ́дающи ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣ гдⷭ҇а, и҆ сїѧ̑ речѐ є҆́й.

1 Corinthians 1:10–18
§ 124
1 Corinthians 1:10–18 § 124
Brethren, I beseech you by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared unto me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chlóe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apóllos,” or “I am of Céphas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you but Críspus and Gáius, lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name. Yes, I also baptized the household of Stéphanas. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of no effect... For the message of the Cross is foolishness to them that perish, but unto us who are being saved, it is the power of God...
Galatians 4:22–31 (St Anna) § 210ctr
St Anna
Brethren, Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh, and he of the free woman was by promise, which things are an allegory. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sínai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hágar—for this Hágar is Mount Sínai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not! Break forth and shout, thou that travailest not! For the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband”… Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free…
Matthew 14.14-22
§ 58
Matthew 14.14-22 § 58
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶδε πολὺν ὄχλον, καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐθεράπευσε τοὺς ἀρρώστους αὐτῶν.
[Заⷱ҇ 58] И҆ и҆зше́дъ і҆и҃съ ви́дѣ мно́гъ наро́дъ, и҆ млⷭ҇рдова ѡ҆ ни́хъ, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆́хъ.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· ἔρημός ἐστιν ὁ τόπος καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς βρώματα.
По́здѣ же бы́вшꙋ, пристꙋпи́ша къ немꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́люще: пꙋ́сто є҆́сть мѣ́сто, и҆ ча́съ ᲂу҆жѐ минꙋ̀: ѿпꙋстѝ наро́ды, да ше́дше въ вє́си кꙋ́пѧтъ бра̑шна себѣ̀.
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.
І҆и҃съ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: не тре́бꙋютъ ѿитѝ: дади́те и҆̀мъ вы̀ ꙗ҆́сти.
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.
Ѻ҆ни́ же глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: не и҆́мамы здѣ̀ то́кмѡ пѧ́ть хлѣ̑бъ и҆ двѣ̀ ры̑бѣ.
He said, Bring them hither to me.
ὁ δὲ εἶπε· φέρετέ μοι αὐτοὺς ὧδε.
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: принеси́те мѝ и҆̀хъ сѣ́мѡ.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ τοὺς χόρτους, λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησε, καὶ κλάσας ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς τοὺς ἄρτους, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
И҆ повелѣ́въ наро́дѡмъ возлещѝ на травѣ̀, и҆ прїе́мь пѧ́ть хлѣ̑бъ и҆ ѻ҆́бѣ ры̑бѣ, воззрѣ́въ на не́бо, блгⷭ҇вѝ и҆ преломи́въ дадѐ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ хлѣ́бы, ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же наро́дѡмъ.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις.
И҆ ꙗ҆до́ша всѝ и҆ насы́тишасѧ: и҆ взѧ́ша и҆збы́тки ᲂу҆крꙋ̑хъ, двана́десѧть ко́шѧ и҆спо́лнь:
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ πεντακισχίλιοι χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
ꙗ҆дꙋ́щихъ же бѣ̀ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ пѧ́ть ты́сѧщъ, ра́звѣ же́нъ и҆ дѣте́й.
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Καὶ εὐθέως ἠνάγκασεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους.
[Заⷱ҇ 59] И҆ а҆́бїе понꙋ́ди і҆и҃съ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑ влѣ́зти въ кора́бль и҆ вари́ти є҆го̀ на ѻ҆́номъ полꙋ̀ {пред̾итѝ є҆мꙋ̀ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ}, до́ндеже ѿпꙋ́ститъ наро́ды.
Luke 8.16-21 (St Anna) § 36
St Anna
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ λυχνίας ἐπιτίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσι τὸ φῶς.
[Заⷱ҇ 36] Никто́же (ᲂу҆̀бо) свѣти́льника вже́гъ, покрыва́етъ є҆го̀ сосꙋ́домъ, и҆лѝ под̾ ѻ҆́дръ подлага́етъ: но на свѣ́щникъ возлага́етъ, да входѧ́щїи ви́дѧтъ свѣ́тъ.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
οὐ γάρ ἐστι κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.
Нѣ́сть бо та́йно, є҆́же не ꙗ҆вле́но бꙋ́детъ: нижѐ ᲂу҆тае́но, є҆́же не позна́етсѧ и҆ въ ꙗ҆вле́нїе прїи́детъ.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
Блюди́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо, ка́кѡ слы́шите: и҆́же бо и҆́мать, да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не и҆́мать, и҆ є҆́же мни́тсѧ и҆мѣ́ѧ, во́зметсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.
Прїидо́ша же къ немꙋ̀ мт҃и и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не можа́хꙋ бесѣ́довати къ немꙋ̀ наро́да ра́ди.
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
καὶ ἀπηγγέλη αὐτῷ λεγόντων· ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν σε θέλοντες.
И҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: мт҃и твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ внѣ̀ стоѧ́тъ, ви́дѣти тѧ̀ хотѧ́ще.
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες αὐτόν.
Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: ма́ти моѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑ сі́и сꙋ́ть, слы́шащїи сло́во бж҃їе, и҆ творѧ́щїи є҆̀.
