8 ال سالة للا ح ال ام م ال م Epistle for the Fifth Sunday of Great Lent Make your vows to the Lord our God, and perform them! God is known in Judah; His Name is great in Israel! The Reading is from the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Hebrews (9:11-14) Brethren, when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), He entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but His own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ص ل ا وأو ف ا ال ب إله ا ن ور ك! الله مع وف في أرض یه ذا, واس ه ع في إس ا ي ل! ف ل م رسالة الق ب ل ال س ل إلى الع ا ن (9:11-14) غ واك ل أع ف ال ق ل ة ا ت لل ه ة ري جاء إذ ق إ ن ال ح اخ ة ا م ع ا ی أ ل م ه ه ال ل قة * ول ب م ت س و ع ل ب ل ب م ن ف ه د خ ل الا ق اس م ة واح ة ف ج ف اء أ ب ا * لا ن ه إ ن ان د م ث ا ن وت س ور م اد ع ل ة ی ش على ال ف ق س ه ل ه ال * ف الا ح ه ض اي ك م الا ع ال ال ة ل ع وا الله ال ي ع لا نف ه الا ز ل ي ق ب ال وح ال د م ال ح

9 الا ن ل للا ح ال ام م ال م Gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Great Lent The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark (10:32-45) At that time, Jesus took His twelve Disciples, and began to tell them what was to happen to Him, saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles. And they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and kill Him; and after three days He will rise. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to Him, and said to Him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire And Jesus said to them, What do you want Me to do for you? And they said to Him, Grant us to sit, one at Thy right hand and one at Thy left, in Thy glory. But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized? And they said to Him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized. But to sit at My right hand or at My left is not Mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared. And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. And Jesus called them to Him and said to them, You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be servant of all. For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. ف ل ش م ارة الق م ق الا ن لي ال, ال ل ال اه (10:32-45) في ذل ال مان أخ ع تلام ه الاث ي ع واب أ ق ل له ما س ع ض له * ه ذا ن صاع ون إلى أورشل واب و ق ن عل ه ال س ل إلى رؤساء ال ه ة وال ة ف ن عل ه ال ت و ل ن ه إلى الا م * ف ه أ ون ه ق م* ف نا إل ه عق ب و ح ا اب ا ز قاي ل ا م عل ن أن ت ع ل ا مه ا و ل ون ه و ق ل ن ه وفي ال م ال ال ل ا* فقال له ا ماذا ت ان أن أص ع ل ا* قالا له أع ا أن ل أح نا ع والا خ ع ار ك في م ك * فقال له ا ع إن ا لا ت عل ان ما ت ل ان. أت عان أن ت ا ال ا س ال ي أش ها أنا وأن ت غا ال غ ة ال ي أص غ بها أنا* فقالا له ن ع. فقال له ا ع أما ال ا س ال ي أش ها ف ان ها و ال غ ة ال ي أص غ بها ف غان. وأما جل س ا ع ي وع ار فل لي أن أع ه إلا لل ی أ ع له * فل ا س ع الع ة اب أ وا وع اء ه دون ه ر ؤساء الا م ن ال ی أن عل ق وقال له ع ف عاه و ح ا* على عق ب ن غ ی ل ن عل ه * وأما أن فلا ن ف ه ا* ول م أ ارد أن ن ف ا فل ل خادما * وم أ ارد أن. ع ف اء نف ه ول ل بل ل م ل م ا ت ل ال فا ن اب ع ا * لل ع فل أ ولا ف ن
