As soon as Martha heard that Jesus
was coming, she went to meet Him,
but Mary sat in the house.
Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if Thou
had been here, my brother would not
have died. But even now, I know
that whatever Thou ask of God, God
will grant Thee.
said to her: Your brother will
rise again.
said to Him: I know that he
will Rise again in the Resurrection at
the Last Day.
Jesus said to her: I Am the
Resurrection and the Life: he who
believes in me, although he may
die, he shall Live. And whoever
lives and believes in Me, shall
never die. Do you believe this?
She said to Him: Yes, Lord, I believe
that Thou art the Christ the Son of
God Who is to come into the world.
having said these things, Martha
went her way, and secretly called

Teacher has come and is calling for

but was in the place where Martha
had met Him.
When the Judeans, who were with her
in the house, comforting her, saw
that Mary had quickly arisen and
gone out, they followed her, saying:
She is going to the tomb to weep
there.
When Mary arrived where Jesus was,
and saw Him, she fell down at His
Feet, saying to Him: O Lord, if Thou
had been here, my brother would not
have died.
Therefore, when Jesus saw her
weeping, and the Judeans who had
come with her, weeping, He groaned
in the spirit and was troubled.
And He said: Where have you laid
him?

When Jesus heard that, He said: This
sickness is not unto Death, but for
the Glory of God so that the Son of
God may be Glorified through it.
Now Jesus Loved Martha and her sister,
and Lazaros, so when He heard that
Lazaros was sick, He stayed two
more days in the place where He
was.
Then after this, He said to His
Disciples: Let us go to Judea
again.
The Disciples said to Him: Rabbi,
lately the Hebrews sought to stone
Thee, and art Thou going there
again?
Jesus answered: Are there not twelve
hours in the day? If anyone walks
in the day, he does not stumble,
because he sees the light of this
world. But if one walks in the
night, he stumbles, because the
Light is not in him.
These things He said, and after that He
said to them: Our friend, Lazaros,
sleeps, but I go so that I may wake
him up.
His Disciples said: Lord, if he sleeps,
he will get well.
they thought that He spoke of
taking rest in sleep.
So Jesus told them plainly: Lazaros is
dead. And I Am glad for your
sakes that I was not there, so that
you may believe. Nevertheless, let
us go to him.
who was called the Twin,
said to his fellow Disciples: Let us
also go, that we may die with Him.
So when Jesus went, He found that
Lazaros had already been in the
tomb for four days.
Bethany was near Jerusalem -
about two miles away.
And many of the Hebrews had joined
the women around Martha and
Mary, to comfort them concerning
their brother.

ODE 3 : O Divine Master Builder of the
Celestial Vault, as the only Lover of
mankind and Founder of the
Church: establish me, O Lord, in
Love for Thee, the Believers firm
Support and ultimate Object of all
desire.
ODE 4 Thou art my Strength.Thou art
my Power and Might, O Lord. Thou,
my God, art also my Exultant Joy,
Who deigned to visit our poverty,
with ever leaving the Bosom of Thy
Father at any time. To Thee, then
do I cry out with Habbakoum the
Prophet: To Thy Power be Glory, O
Lover of mankind!
ODE 5 Why, O Lord, hast Thou cast me
away from Thy Sight, O Never-
setting Light, and this foreign
darkness now has covered me,
miserable as I am? Do, I pray,
convert me, and to the Light of Thy
Commandments guide my ways, I
entreat Thee most fervently.
ODE 6 Be gracious to me, O Lod, for
many are my iniquities; and bring
me up from the deep of evils, I
supplicate. And hear me, O God of
my Salvation!
ODE 7 The Children of Judea, who of
old, were deported and sent to
Babylon, once trod on the fire of the
furnace by holding to the Faith in
the Trinity, and chanted: Blessed
art Thou, the God of our Fathers!
ODE 8: We Praise, we Bless, and we
Worship the Lord.
O Praise and Bless Him Who by the
Hosts of Angels is extolled as King
of the Heavens, supremely exalting
Him unto all the Ages.
The Pure Theotokos who in Her Womb
Conceived the Divine Fire without
being burnt, let us honour
gloriously, O People, magnifying Her
with never-silent Hymns!
Glory to Thee, O God, Glory to Thee!

By Thy Word, O Word of God, Lazaros
now leaps out of Death, having
returned to this life. Therefore the
people honour Thee, for Thou shall
destroy Hades utterly by Thine own
Death. (2)
By means of Lazaros has Chist already
plundered thee, O Death. And where
is thy victory, O Hades? For the
lament of Bethany is now thine. Let
us all wave against it our Branches of
Victory!

Let everything that has breath praise

To Thee praise is due, O God.
Praise Him, all His Angels; praise Him,
all His Powers. To Thee praise is
due, O God.

To execute upon them the Judgement
that is decreed; such Glory will be
for all His Holy Ones.
as Thou art the Resurrection
and the Life of mankind, Thou went
to the tomb of Lazaros, and
demonstrated for us both Thine
Essences, O Longsuffering One; for
from the pure Virgin Thou hast
come indeed as both God and Man.
As a Mortal Thou enquired where he
was buried, and as God, with Thy
Life-bearing Summons, Thou
Resurrected him who had been four
days dead.
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him
in the firmament of His Power.
Thou Resurrected Lazaros from Hades
after he had been dead for four days,
O Christ, thus before Thine own
Death, and by means of one whom
Thou Loved, foretokening the
Liberation of all mankind from
corruption. Therefore, adoring
Thine Omnipotent Authority, we cry
out; Blessed art Thou, O Saviour!
Have Mercy on us!

Thou had been here, O Lord, Lazaros

the Resurrection of those who in
Death have slumbered, Resurrected
from the dead the man already four

coming in Glory to Save our souls!
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and

To Thy Disciples, O Christ, Thou
granted the Tokens of Thy Divinity;
but Thou humbled Thyself amongst
the crowd, Thine Intention being to
conceal it from them. Therefore, as
the Foreknower of all things, and as
God, Thou predicted to Thine
Apostles the death of Lazaros. In
the presence of the people in
Bethany, as though Thou did ot
know, as Man, Thou sought the place
of Thy Friends burial. But when he,
who had been four days dead, was
Resurrected by Thee, he made Thy
Divine Powers manifest. O Almighty
One: Glory to Thee, O Lord!
