Ephesians 6:10–17 § 233 (Saturday after Theophany)

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 …

1 Thessalonians 5:14–23 § 273

1 Thessalonians 5:14–23 § 273

Brethren, we exhort you, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves, and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast that what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…

Saturday after Theophany

1

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,

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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,

6

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.

7

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.

8

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,

9

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.

10

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.

11

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 13.10-17 § 71

Luke 13.10-17 § 71

10

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:

11

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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.

15

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;

16

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;

17

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.
