§ 70
AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ σαββάτου Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν.
[Заⷱ҇ 70] И҆ минꙋ́вшей сꙋббѡ́тѣ, марі́а магдали́на и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ и҆ салѡмі́а кꙋпи́ша а҆рѡма́ты, да прише́дшѧ пома́жꙋтъ і҆и҃са.
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
καὶ λίαν πρωῒ τῆς μιᾶς σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου.
И҆ ѕѣлѡ̀ заꙋ́тра во є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, возсїѧ́вшꙋ со́лнцꙋ,
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτάς· τίς ἀποκυλίσει ἡμῖν τὸν λίθον ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου;
и҆ глаго́лахꙋ къ себѣ̀: кто̀ ѿвали́тъ на́мъ ка́мень ѿ две́рїй гро́ба;
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν ὅτι ἀποκεκύλισται ὁ λίθος· ἦν γὰρ μέγας σφόδρα.
И҆ воззрѣ́вшѧ ви́дѣша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿвале́нъ бѣ̀ ка́мень: бѣ́ бо ве́лїй ѕѣлѡ̀.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον εἶδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, περιβεβλημένον στολὴν λευκήν, καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν.
И҆ вше́дшѧ во гро́бъ, ви́дѣша ю҆́ношꙋ сѣдѧ́ща въ десны́хъ, ѡ҆дѣ́ѧна во ѻ҆де́ждꙋ бѣлꙋ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ.
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐταῖς· μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε· Ἰησοῦν ζητεῖτε τὸν Ναζαρηνὸν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον· ἠγέρθη, οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε· ἴδε ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
Ѻ҆́нъ же глаго́ла и҆̀мъ: не ᲂу҆жаса́йтесѧ: і҆и҃са и҆́щете назарѧни́на распѧ́таго: воста̀, нѣ́сть здѣ̀: сѐ, мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же положи́ша є҆го̀:
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
ἀλλ᾿ ὑπάγετε εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ ὅτι προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε, καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν.
но и҆ди́те, рцы́те ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ петро́ви, ꙗ҆́кѡ варѧ́етъ вы̀ въ галїле́и: та́мѡ є҆го̀ ви́дите, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ ва́мъ.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου· εἶχε δὲ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις, καὶ οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπον· ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.
И҆ и҆зше́дшѧ бѣжа́ша ѿ гро́ба: и҆мѧ́ше {ѡ҆держа́ше} же и҆̀хъ тре́петъ и҆ ᲂу҆́жасъ: и҆ никомꙋ́же ничто́же рѣ́ша: боѧ́хꙋбосѧ.

Ephesians 2:14–22
§ 221
Ephesians 2:14–22 § 221
Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of division between us, having abolished in His Flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the Cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to them that were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father… Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
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.
