St. Paul's First Letter to Timothy 4:9-15
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4.
Psalm 75.11,1
Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.
Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
The reading is from St. Paul's First Letter to Timothy 4:9-15
Timothy, my son, the saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and suffer reproach, because we have our hope
set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one despise
your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Till I come, attend to the public reading of
scripture, to preaching, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of
elders laid their hands upon you. Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.
Προκείµενον. Ήχος πλ. δ'. ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 75.11,1
Εὔξασθε καὶ ἀπόδοτε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ἡµῶν.
Στίχ. Γνωστὸς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ µέγα τὸ ὄνοµα αὐτοῦ.
Πρὸς Τιµόθεον α' 4:9-15 τὸ ἀνάγνωσµα είναι απο
Τέκνον Τιµόθεε, πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος. Εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ κοπιῶµεν καὶ ὀνειδιζόµεθα, ὅτι ἠλπίκαµεν ἐπὶ θεῷ ζῶντι,
ὅς ἐστιν σωτὴρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων, µάλιστα πιστῶν. Παράγγελλε ταῦτα καὶ δίδασκε. Μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ
τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐν πνεύµατι, ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ. Ἕως ἔρχοµαι, πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ
παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ. Μὴ ἀµέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσµατος, ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας µετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ
πρεσβυτερίου. Ταῦτα µελέτα, ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι, ἵνα σου ἡ προκοπὴ φανερὰ ᾖ ἐν πᾶσιν.
15th Sunday of Luke
The Gospel According to Luke 19:1-10 At that time, Jesus was passing through Jericho. And there was a man named Zacchaios; he was a chief collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaios, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." And Zacchaios stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
15th Sunday of Luke
Ἐκ τοῦ Κατὰ Λουκᾶν 19:1-10 Εὐαγγελίου τὸ Ἀνάγνωσµα Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, διήρχετο τὴν ῾Ιεριχώ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόµατι καλούµενος Ζακχαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἀρχιτελώνης, καὶ οὗτος ἦν πλούσιος, καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν ᾿Ιησοῦν τίς ἐστι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ µικρὸς ἦν. καὶ προδραµὼν ἔµπροσθεν ἀνέβη ἐπὶ συκοµορέαν, ἵνα ἴδῃ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐκείνης ἤµελλε διέρχεσθαι. καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ἀναβλέψας ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἶδεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· Ζακχαῖε, σπεύσας κατάβηθι· σήµερον γὰρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου δεῖ µε µεῖναι. καὶ σπεύσας κατέβη, καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν χαίρων. καὶ ἰδόντες πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες ὅτι παρὰ ἁµαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθε καταλῦσαι. σταθεὶς δὲ Ζακχαῖος εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Κύριον· ἰδοὺ τὰ ἡµίση τῶν ὑπαρχόντων µου, Κύριε, δίδωµι τοῖς πτωχοῖς, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωµι τετραπλοῦν. εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι σήµερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ᾿Αβραάµ ἐστιν. ἦλθε γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.
