John 20.1-10
§ 63
THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἔρχεται πρωῒ σκοτίας ἔτι οὔσης εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ βλέπει τὸν λίθον ἠρμένον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου.
[Заⷱ҇ 63] Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ марі́а магдали́на прїи́де заꙋ́тра, є҆щѐ сꙋ́щей тьмѣ̀, на гро́бъ, и҆ ви́дѣ ка́мень взѧ́тъ ѿ гро́ба:
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
τρέχει οὖν καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἦραν τὸν Κύριον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
течѐ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ прїи́де къ сі́мѡнꙋ петрꙋ̀ и҆ къ дрꙋго́мꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃кꙋ̀, є҆го́же люблѧ́ше і҆и҃съ, и҆ глаго́ла и҆́ма: взѧ́ша гдⷭ҇а ѿ гро́ба, и҆ не вѣ́мъ, гдѣ̀ положи́ша є҆го̀.
Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Πέτρος καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς καὶ ἤρχοντο εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον.
И҆зы́де же пе́тръ и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ и҆ и҆дѧ́ста ко гро́бꙋ:
So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραμε τάχιον τοῦ Πέτρου καὶ ἦλθε πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,
теча́ста же ѻ҆́ба вкꙋ́пѣ: и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ течѐ скорѣ́е петра̀ и҆ прїи́де пре́жде ко гро́бꙋ,
And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει κείμενα τὰ ὀθόνια, οὐ μέντοι εἰσῆλθεν.
и҆ прини́къ ви́дѣ ри̑зы лежа́щѧ: ѻ҆ба́че не вни́де.
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
ἔρχεται οὖν Σίμων Πέτρος ἀκολουθῶν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα,
Прїи́де же сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вни́де во гро́бъ, и҆ ви́дѣ ри̑зы (є҆ди̑ны) лежа́щѧ
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
καὶ τὸ σουδάριον, ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον, ἀλλὰ χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον.
и҆ сꙋда́рь, и҆́же бѣ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, не съ ри́зами лежа́щь, но ѡ҆со́бь сви́тъ на є҆ди́нѣмъ мѣ́стѣ.
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
τότε οὖν εἰσῆλθε καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς ὁ ἐλθὼν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐπίστευσεν·
Тогда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо вни́де и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ, прише́дый пре́жде ко гро́бꙋ, и҆ ви́дѣ и҆ вѣ́рова:
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
οὐδέπω γὰρ ᾔδεισαν τὴν γραφὴν ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.
не ᲂу҆̀ бо вѣ́дѧхꙋ писа́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Ἀπῆλθον οὖν πάλιν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς οἱ μαθηταί.
И҆до́ста же па́ки къ себѣ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑.

2 Corinthians 9:6–11 § 188
Brethren, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. So let each man give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He hath dispersed abroad, He hath given to the poor; His righteousness remains forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
Luke 8.26-39
§ 38
Luke 8.26-39 § 38
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
Καὶ κατέπλευσεν εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γαδαρηνῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἀντίπερα τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
[Заⷱ҇ 38] И҆ преидо́ша во странꙋ̀ гадари́нскꙋ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆б̾ ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ галїле́и.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
ἐξελθόντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἀνήρ τις ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, ὃς εἶχε δαιμόνια ἐκ χρόνων ἱκανῶν, καὶ ἱμάτιον οὐκ ἐνεδιδύσκετο καὶ ἐν οἰκίᾳ οὐκ ἔμενεν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν.
И҆зше́дшꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ на зе́млю, срѣ́те є҆го̀ мꙋ́жъ нѣ́кїй ѿ гра́да, и҆́же и҆мѧ́ше бѣ́сы ѿ лѣ́тъ мно́гихъ, и҆ въ ри́зꙋ не ѡ҆блача́шесѧ, и҆ во хра́мѣ не живѧ́ше, но во гробѣ́хъ.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἀνακράξας προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἶπε· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου; δέομαί σου, μή με βασανίσῃς.
Оу҆зрѣ́въ же і҆и҃са и҆ возопи́въ, припадѐ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ речѐ: что̀ мнѣ̀ и҆ тебѣ̀, і҆и҃се сн҃е бг҃а вы́шнѧгѡ; молю́сѧ тѝ, не мꙋ́чи менѐ.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
παρήγγειλε γὰρ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. πολλοῖς γὰρ χρόνοις συνηρπάκει αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδεσμεῖτο ἁλύσεσι καὶ πέδαις φυλασσόμενος, καὶ διαρρήσσων τὰ δεσμὰ ἠλαύνετο ὑπὸ τοῦ δαίμονος εἰς τὰς ἐρήμους.
Повелѣ́ бо дꙋ́хови нечи́стомꙋ и҆зы́ти ѿ человѣ́ка: ѿ мно́гихъ бо лѣ́тъ восхища́ше є҆го̀: и҆ вѧза́хꙋ є҆го̀ ᲂу҆́зы (желѣ̑зны) и҆ пꙋ̑ты, стрегꙋ́ще є҆го̀: и҆ растерза́ѧ ᲂу҆́зы, гони́мь быва́ше бѣ́сомъ сквозѣ̀ пꙋсты̑ни.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
ἐπηρώτησε δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· τί σοί ἐστιν ὄνομα; ὁ δὲ εἶπε· λεγεών· ὅτι δαιμόνια πολλὰ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς αὐτόν·
Вопроси́ же є҆го̀ і҆и҃съ, гл҃ѧ: что̀ тѝ є҆́сть и҆́мѧ; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: легеѡ́нъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ́си мно́зи внидо́ша во́нь.
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν ἵνα μὴ ἐπιτάξῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον ἀπελθεῖν.
И҆ молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀, да не повели́тъ и҆̀мъ въ бе́зднꙋ и҆тѝ.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἀγέλη χοίρων ἱκανῶν βοσκομένων ἐν τῷ ὄρει· καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιτρέψῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἐκείνους εἰσελθεῖν· καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς.
Бѣ́ же тꙋ̀ ста́до свині́й мно́го пасо́мо въ горѣ̀: и҆ молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀, да повели́тъ и҆̀мъ въ ты̑ вни́ти. И҆ повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
ἐξελθόντα δὲ τὰ δαιμόνια ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν λίμνην καὶ ἀπεπνίγη.
И҆зше́дше же бѣ́си ѿ человѣ́ка, внидо́ша во свинїѧ̑: и҆ ᲂу҆стреми́сѧ ста́до по бре́гꙋ въ є҆́зеро, и҆ и҆стопѐ.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ βόσκοντες τὸ γεγενημένον ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς.
Ви́дѣвше же пасꙋ́щїи бы́вшее, бѣжа́ша, и҆ возвѣсти́ша во гра́дѣ и҆ въ се́лѣхъ.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
ἐξῆλθον δὲ ἰδεῖν τὸ γεγονός, καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ εὗρον καθήμενον τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀφ᾿ οὗ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐξεληλύθει, ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
И҆зыдо́ша же ви́дѣти бы́вшее: и҆ прїидо́ша ко і҆и҃сови и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша человѣ́ка сѣдѧ́ща, и҆з̾ негѡ́же бѣ́си и҆зыдо́ша, ѡ҆болче́на и҆ смы́слѧща, при ногꙋ̀ і҆и҃сѡвꙋ: и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες πῶς ἐσώθη ὁ δαιμονισθείς.
Возвѣсти́ша же и҆̀мъ ви́дѣвшїи, ка́кѡ спасе́сѧ бѣснова́выйсѧ.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῆς περιχώρου τῶν Γαδαρηνῶν ἀπελθεῖν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, ὅτι φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐμβὰς εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ὑπέστρεψεν.
И҆ молѝ є҆го̀ ве́сь наро́дъ страны̀ гадари́нскїѧ ѿитѝ ѿ ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ стра́хомъ ве́лїимъ ѡ҆держи́ми бѣ́хꙋ. Ѻ҆́нъ же влѣ́зъ въ кора́бль, возврати́сѧ.
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
ἐδέετο δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἀνήρ, ἀφ᾿ οὗ ἐξεληλύθει τὰ δαιμόνια, εἶναι σὺν αὐτῷ· ἀπέλυσε δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων·
Молѧ́шесѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ мꙋ́жъ, и҆з̾ негѡ́же и҆зыдо́ша бѣ́си, дабы̀ съ ни́мъ бы́лъ. Ѿпꙋсти́ же є҆го̀ і҆и҃съ, гл҃ѧ:
Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
ὑπόστρεφε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ διηγοῦ ὅσα ἐποίησέ σοι ὁ Θεός. καὶ ἀπῆλθε καθ᾿ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν κηρύσσων ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
возврати́сѧ въ до́мъ тво́й и҆ повѣ́дай, є҆ли̑ка тѝ сотворѝ бг҃ъ. И҆ и҆́де, по всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ проповѣ́даѧ, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ.
