ODE 1
Verily, Moses having struck
horizontally with his rod, cleaving
the Red Sea and causing Israel to
cross on foot, then having struck it
transversely bringing it together
over Pharaoh and his chariots,
traced the Cross, thus symbolising
that Invincible Weapon.
Wherefore, we praise Christ our
God, for He has been Glorified.'
ODE 3
The rod is taken as a symbol of the
Mystery; for by its budding, it
designated the Priest. But now the
Tree of the Cross has blossomed
forth with Might and Steadfastness
to the hitherto barren Church.
ODE 4
I have heard, O Lord, of the Mystery of
Thy Dispensation, and have
contemplated Thy Works.
Wherefore, have I Glorified Thy
Godhead.

to His Disciples after He was raised
from the dead, when they had
eaten breakfast, Jesus said to
Simon Peter:, “Simon, son of
Jonah, do you Love Me more than
these?”
He said to Him: “Yes, Lord, Thou
know that I Love Thee.”
He said to him, “Feed My Lambs.”
He said to him again a second time:
“Simon, son of Jonah, do you
Love Me?”
He said to Him:, “Yes Lord; Thou know
that I Love Thee.”
He said to him: “Tend My sheep.”
He said to him the third time: “Simon,
son of Jonah, do you Love Me?”
was grieved because He asked
him a third time: “Do you Love
Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, Thou know
all things; Thou know that I Love
Thee.”
Jesus said to him:, “Feed My sheep.
Truly, truly, I say to you: when
you were younger, you girded
yourself and walked where you
wished; but when you are old, you
will stretch out your hands, and
another will gird you and carry
you where you do not wish to go.”
This He spoke, signifying by what
death he would glorify God.

And when He had spoken this, He
said to him: “Follow Me.”
Then Peter, turning around, saw the
Disciple whom Jesus Loved
following, (who also had leaned on
His Breast at the Supper and asked:
“Lord, who is the one who betrays
Thee?”)
Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus: “Lord,
what about this man?”
Jesus said to him: “If I Will that he
remain until I come, what is that
to you? You follow Me!”
Then this saying went out among the
Brethren that this Disciple would
not die.
Yet Jesus did not say to him that he
would not die, but: “If I Will that
he remain until I come, what is
that to you?”
is the Disciple who testifies to
these things, and wrote these
things; and we know that his
Testimony is True.
And there are also many other
things that Jesus did, which if
they were written one by one, I
suppose that even the world itself
could not contain the books that
would be written.
Amen
