In those days, when a violent attempt
was made by both the Gentiles and
Judeans, with their rulers, to abuse
and stone the Apostles, they became
aware of it and fled to Lystra and
Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the
surrounding region, and they
preached the Gospel there.
And in Lystra a certain man was sitting,
who had no strength in his feet – a
cripple from his mother’s womb –
who had never walked.
that he had Faith to be Healed, said
with a loud voice: “Stand up straight
on your feet!”
And he leapt up and walked.
When the people saw what Paul had
done, they raised their voices, saying
in the Lycaonian language: “The gods
have come down to us in the likeness
of men!”
they called ‘Zeus,’ and Paul,
‘Hermes,’ since he was the chief
speaker.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was
in front of their city, took oxen and
garlands to the gates, intending to
sacrifice with the multitudes.
Hearing this, the Apostles, Barnabas
and Paul, tore their clothing and ran
in among the multitude, crying out
and saying: “Men, why are you doing
these things?
“We also are men with the same nature
as you, and preach to you so that you
should turn from these useless
things to the Living God, Who made
the Heavens, the earth, the sea, and
all things that are in them; Who in
bygone generations allowed all
Nations to walk in their own ways.
“Nevertheless, He did not leave Himself
without witness, in that He did Good:
He gave us rain from heaven and
fruitful seasons, filling our hearts
with food and gladness.”

Thou, O Life-giver, clothed my mortal
nature with Immortality’s Apparel
and with the Grace of Incorruption,
and Resurrected it, O Saviour, with
Thyself; ending the age-old war in
me, unto the Father Thou presented
it.✶
We who to the Heavenly Lifestyle have
been summoned again by Virtue of
the Mediation of Him Who emptied
Himself, taking on the form of a
slave, and also Who exalted us, let us
all magnify Him worthily.
of
Incorruption art Thou, O Virgin, and
we Faithful honour Thee as such,
thus believing in the Magnificent
Titles praising Thee. For Thou
poured out to all of us the
Hypostatic Immortality.
✞ Glory to Thee, O God, Glory to
Thee!
O Saviour, when Thou went up to Thy
Holy Temple, about the middle of
the Feast of the Judeans, Thou were
teaching them all, and bewildered
were the Judeans, for they said:
Where did this Man learn His letters,
having not been taught?✶
Prodigious Signs and Wonders was my
Redeemer performing as He poured
out Grace’s Gifts of Healing, for He
drove out diseases and cured people
of their ailments. But the Judeans
became furious at His Abundant
Mercies. ✶
✞ Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Reproving them, my Redeemer said to
the faithless Judeans, crying out: Do
not judge by appearance! You
should rather be judging with
Righteous Judgement! Behold, the
Law says and orders, even on the
Sabbath, that a man should be
circumcised!
Ke nin ke Ai ke is tous eonas ton Now and ever, and to the Ages of ages.
