Πράξεων τῶν Ἀοστόλων (11,9-30) Ἐν ταῖς ἡέραις ἐκείναις, διασαρέντες οἱ Ἀόστολοι ἀὸ τῆς θλίψεως τῆς γενοένης ἐὶ Στεφάνῳ διῆλθον ἕως Φοινίκης καὶ Κύρου καὶ Ἀντιοχείας͵ ηδενὶ λαλοῦντες τὸν λόγον εἰ ὴ όνον Ἰουδαίοις. Ἦσαν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Κύριοι καὶ Κυρηναῖοι͵ οἵτινες εἰσελθόντες εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐλάλουν ρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς͵ εὐαγγελιζόενοι τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν. Καὶ ἦν χεὶρ Κυρίου ετ' αὐτῶν͵ ολύς τε ἀριθὸς ὁ ιστεύσας ἐέστρεψεν ἐὶ τὸν Κύριον. Ἠκούσθη δὲ ὁ λόγος εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῆς Ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Ἰεροσολύοις ερὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξαέστειλαν Βαρνάβαν ἕως Ἀντιοχείας· ὃς αραγενόενος καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐχάρη, καὶ αρεκάλει άντας τῇ ροθέσει τῇ καρδίας ροσένειν τῷ Κυρίῳ͵ ὅτι ἦν ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ λήρης Πνεύατος ἁγίου καὶ ίστεως. Καὶ ροσετέθη ὄχλος ἱκανὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ. Ἐξῆλθε δὲ εἰς Ταρσὸν ἀναζητῆσαι Σαῦλον͵ καὶ εὑρὼν ἤγαγεν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. Ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ὅλον συναχθῆναι ἐν τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ διδάξαι ὄχλον ἱκανόν͵ χρηατίσαι τε ρῶτον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τοὺς αθητὰς Χριστιανούς. Ἐν ταύταις δὲ ταῖς ἡέραις κατῆλθον ἀὸ Ἱεροσολύων ροφῆται εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν· ἀναστὰς δὲ εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ὀνόατι Ἅγαβος ἐσήανε διὰ τοῦ Πνεύατος λιὸν έγαν έλλειν ἔσεσθαι ἐφ' ὅλην τὴν οἰκουένην· ὅστις καὶ ἐγένετο ἐὶ Κλαυδίου Καίσαρος. Τῶν δὲ αθητῶν καθὼς εὐορεῖτό τις ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν εἰς διακονίαν έψαι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἀδελφοῖς· ὃ καὶ ἐοίησαν ἀοστείλαντες ρὸς τοὺς ρεσβυτέρους διὰ χειρὸς Βαρνάβα καὶ Σαύλου.

Acts of the Apostles (11:9-30) In those days, those apostles who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord. News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose; for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul; and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians. Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabos stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world; and this took place in the days of Claudius. And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea, and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ Ἰωάννην Ἁγίου Εὐαγγελίου (4,5-42) Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἔρχεται ὁ Ἴησοῦς εἰς όλιν τῆς Σααρείας λεγοένην Συχὰρ, λησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν Ἰακὼβ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ. ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ηγὴ τοῦ Ἰακώβ. ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς κεκοιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐὶ τῇ ηγῇ· ὥρα ἦν ὡσεὶ ἕκτη. ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς Σααρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ∆ός οι εῖν. οἱ γὰρ αθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν όλιν, ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσι. λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Σααρεῖτις· Πῶς σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὢν αρ' ἐοῦ εῖν αἰτεῖς, οὔσης γυναικὸς Σααρείτιδος ; οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται Ἰουδαῖοι Σααρείταις. ἀεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶεν αὐτῇ· Εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι, δός οι εῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν. λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, οὔτε ἄντληα ἔχεις, καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶ βαθύ· όθεν οὖν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν; ὴ σὺ είζων εἶ τοῦ ατρὸς ἡῶν Ἰακώβ, ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡῖν τὸ φρέαρ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔιε καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θρέατα αὐτοῦ; ἀεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶεν αὐτῇ· Πᾶς ὁ ίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει άλιν· ὃς δ' ἂν ίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ, οὐ ὴ διψήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῷ, γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ ηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλοένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. λέγει ρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, δός οι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα ὴ διψῶ ηδὲ ἔρχοαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὕαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε. ἀεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶεν· Οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Καλῶς εἶας ὅτι ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω· έντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστι σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας. λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Κύριε, θεωρῶ ὅτι ροφήτης εἶ σύ. οἱ ατέρες ἡῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ ροσεκύνησαν· καὶ ὑεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν Ἱεροσολύοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόος ὅου δεῖ ροσκυνεῖν. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Γύναι, ίστευσόν οι ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν Ἱεροσολύοις ροσκυνήσετε τῷ ατρί. ὑεῖς ροσκυνεῖτε ὃ οὐκ οἴδατε, ἡεῖς ροσκυνοῦεν ὃ οἴδαεν· ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστίν. ἀλλ' ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ ροσκυνηταὶ ροσκυνήσουσι τῷ ατρὶ ἐν νεύατι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ ατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς ροσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν. νεῦα ὁ Θεός, καὶ τοὺς ροσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν νεύατι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ ροσκυνεῖν. λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Οἶδα ὅτι Μεσσίας ἔρχεται ὁ λεγόενος Χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡῖν άντα. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγώ εἰι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι. καὶ ἐὶ τούτῳ ἦλθαν οἱ αθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύασαν ὅτι ετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει· οὐδεὶς έντοι εἶε, τί ζητεῖς ἤ τί λαλεῖς ετ' αὐτῆς; Ἀφῆκεν οὖν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἀῆλθεν εἰς τὴν όλιν, καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἀνθρώοις· ∆εῦτε ἴδετε ἄνθρωον ὃς εἶέ οι άντα ὅσα ἐοίησα· ήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός; ἐξῆλθον οὖν ἐκ τῆς όλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο ρὸς αὐτόν. Ἐν δὲ τῷ εταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ αθηταὶ λέγοντες· Ραββί, φάγε. ὁ δὲ εἶεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν, ἣν ὑεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε. ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ αθηταὶ ρὸς ἀλλήλους· Μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῷ φαγεῖν; λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐὸν βρῶά ἐστιν ἵνα οιῶ τὸ θέληα τοῦ έψαντός ε καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον. οὐχ ὑεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἔτι τετράηνός ἐστι καὶ ὁ θερισὸς ἔρχεται; ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑῖν, ἐάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλοὺς ὑῶν καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας, ὅτι λευκαί εἰσι ρὸς θερισόν. ἤδη. καὶ ὁ θερίζων ισθὸν λαβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα καὶ ὁ σείρων ὁοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων. ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ὁ ἀληθινὸς, ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σείρων καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων. ἐγὼ ἀέστειλα ὑᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑεῖς κεκοιάκατε· ἄλλοι κεκοιάκασι, καὶ ὑεῖς εἰς τὸν κόον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε. Ἐκ δὲ τῆς όλεως ἐκείνης ολλοὶ ἐίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν Σααρειτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικὸς, αρτυρούσης ὅτι εἶέ οι άντα ὅσα ἐοίησα. ὡς οὖν ἦλθον ρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Σααρεῖται, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν εῖναι αρ' αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡέρας. καὶ ολλῷ λείους ἐίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν ιστεύοεν· αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαεν, καὶ οἴδαεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσου, ὁ Χριστὀς

From the Holy Gospel according to John (4:5-42) At that time, Jesus came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly." The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he." Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?" So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" They went out of the city and were coming to him. Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying "Rabbi, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." So the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought him food?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony. "He told me all that I ever did." So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard ourselves, and we know that this is indeed Christ the Savior of the world.”
