**Prayer Before Reading Scripture:
O Lord Jesus Christ, open Thou the eyes of my
heart, that I may hear Thy word and understand and do Thy will, for I
am a sojourner upon the earth. Hide not Thy commandments from me, but
open mine eyes, that I may receive the wonders of Thy law. Speak unto me the hidden and secret things of Thy wisdom. On Thee do I set my hope, O my God, that Thou shalt enlighten my mind and understanding with the light of Thy knowledge, not only to cherish those things which are written, but to do them; that in reading the lives and sayings of the saints I may not sin, but that such may serve for my restoration, enlightenment and sanctification, for the salvation of my soul, and the inheritance of life everlasting. For Thou art the enlightenment of those who lie in darkness, and from Thee cometh every good deed and every gift. Amen. Saint John Chrysostom**
Troparion
of the Resurrection. Fifth Tone.
Let
us, O faithful, praise and worship the Word Who is co-unorignate with the
Father and the Spirit, and Who was born of the Virgin for our salvation; for He
was pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh and to endure death, and to raise
the dead by His glorious Resurrection
Kontakion
of the Resurrection. Fifth Tone.
Unto
Hades, O my Savior, didst Thou descend, and having broken its gates as One
omnipotent, Thou, as Creator, didst raise up the dead together with Thyself.
And Thou didst break the sting of death, and didst deliver Adam from the curse,
O Lover of mankind. Wherefore, we all cry unto Thee: Save us, O Lord.
There are two readings for today.
The Epistle of Saint Paul to the: Hebrews 9:11-14
King James Version (KJV 1611)
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
The Epistle of Saint Paul to the: Galatians 3:23-29
King James Version (KJV 1611)
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The Holy Gospel according to:
Saint Mark 10:32-45King James Version (KJV 1611)
32 And
they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them:
and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And He
took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen
unto Him,
33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and
they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles:
34 And
they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him,
and shall kill Him: and the third day He shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto Him, saying, Master, we would that Thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36 And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said unto Him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and the other on Thy left hand, in Thy glory.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto Him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink ofthe cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40 But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 But
Jesus called them to Him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which
are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and
their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
The Holy Gospel according to:
Saint Luke 7:36-50 King James Version (KJV 1611)
36 And one of the Pharisees desired Him that he would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And,
behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that
Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now
when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself,
saying, This Man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what
manner of woman this is that toucheth Him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And
He turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I
entered into thine house, thou gavest Me no water for my feet: but she
hath washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest Me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed My feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore
I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved
much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
