The Scripture Readings

John 20:11-18 (8th Matins Gospel)

11

But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb.

12

And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13

Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

14

Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

15

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

16

Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

17

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

18

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

2 Corinthians 11:31-12:9

31

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

32

In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;

33

but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.

1

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

2

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows-such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

3

And I know such a man-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows-

4

how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5

Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

6

For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

7

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

8

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Luke 16:19-31

19

There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.

20

But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,

21

desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22

So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

23

And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24

Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’

25

But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

26

‘And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

27

Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house,

28

‘for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’

29

Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’

30

And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31

But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’
