FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - ՀՈԳԵԳԱԼՈՒՍՏԷՆ ԵՏՔ ԱՌԱՋԻՆ ԿԻՐԱԿԻ
The reading is from the Letter of James 5:16-20
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. Elijah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
My brethren, if any one among you wanders from the truth and some one brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. GOSPEL ACCORDING OF ST. LUKE 4:25-30
But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But passing through the midst of them he went away.
Ալէլուք - Դու յարուցեալ գթասցիս ի վերայ Սիոնի, ժամանակ գթալոյ նորա հասեալ է ժամ։
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԷՆ ԸՍՏ ՂՈՒԿԱՍԻ 4։25-30 Մեր Տէրը Յիսուս Քրիստոս կ՚ըսէ.- �Ձեզի օրինակներով խօսիմ։ Իսրայէլի մէջ բազմաթիւ այրիներ կային Եղիայի օրերուն, երբ երեքուկէս տարի երկինքը չանձրեւեց եւ ամբողջ երկրին մէջ սաստիկ սով տիրեց։ Բայց Եղիա անոնցմէ ոեւէ մէկուն չղրկուեցաւ, այլ ղրկուեցաւ Սիդոնի մօտիկ Սարեփաթա գիւղը բնակող այրի կնոջ մը։ Նոյնպէս, Եղիսէ մարգարէի օրերուն Իսրայէլի մէջ բազմաթիւ բորոտներ կային, բայց անոնցմէ ոչ մէկը բժշկուեցաւ, այլ միայն Նէեմաբ անունով ասորի մը�։ Այս ակնարկութիւնները լսելով՝ ժողովարանին մէջ գտնուողները բարկութեամբ լեցուեցան։ Ելան, Յիսուսը քաղաքէն դուրս հանեցին եւ գահավէժ ընելու նպատակով զայն տարին միչեւ կատարը այն լերան, որուն վրայ շինուած էր իրենց քաղաքը։ Բայց Յիսուս անոնց մէջէն անցաւ գնաց։
