Lazaros, who had been four days
dead and buried.

O Lord Jesus, Thou grieved – a token of
mortal essence.
Thy Friend Thou Revived – a token of
Divine Power.

Lazaros, O Christ our God, have
Mercy on us.

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?”
said to Him: “Yes, Lord, I believe
that Thou art the Christ – the Son of
God Who is to come into the world.”
And having said these things, Martha
went her way, and secretly called
Mary, her sister, saying: “The
Teacher has come and is calling for
you.”
As soon as Mary heard that, she quickly
arose and went to Him.
Jesus had not yet gone into the
town, 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.”
And 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.”
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the
Judeans who had come with her,
weeping, He groaned in Spirit and
was troubled.
And He said: “Where have you laid
him?”
They said to Him: “Lord, come and see.”
Jesus wept.
And the Judeans said; “See how He
loved him!”
Some of them said: “Could not this Man
Who opened the eyes of the blind,
also have kept this man from dying?”
again groaning within Himself,
went to the tomb, which was a cave,
and a stone lay against it.

The Disciples said to Him: “Rabbi, lately
the Hebrews sought to stone Thee,
and art Thou going there again?”
And 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.”
And 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.”
And Thomas, who was called “the
Twin,” said to his fellow Disciples:
“Let us also go, that we may die with
Him.”

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.”
Martha said to Him: “I know that he will

Him according to the greatness of

Martha and Mary to our Saviour said: If
Thou had been here, O Lord, Lazaros
would not have died. Then Christ,
the Resurrection of those who in
Death have slumbered, Resurrected
from the dead the man already four
days dead. Therefore, O Believers
all: come let us adore Him Who is
coming in Glory to Save our souls!
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
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 Friend’s 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!

Cherubim cry out to Thee
unceasingly: Hosanna in the

Martha cried aloud to Mary: “Come, for
the Teacher is here and is calling for
thee!” And she went quickly to
where her Lord wa. And when she
saw Thee, she cried; she knelt; she
worshipped. As she covered Thine
Immaculate Feet with kisses, she

our brother would not have died!”

Arise, O Lord, my God, lift up Thy
Hand: do not forget Thy poor
forever.
Four days after he had died Thou raised
Lazaros in Bethany. As soon as
Thou went to the tomb, Thy Voice
became Life to the dead man; and
Hades, groaning in fear, released
him. Great was the Miracle! Most
Merciful Lord: Glory to Thee!
will give Thee thanks, O Lord, with
my whole heart: I will tell of all
Thy Wonders.
O Lord, even as Thou said to Martha: “I
Am the Resurrection,” so Thou
fulfilled Thy Word in action by
calling back Lazaros from Hades.
Resurrect me, also, for I am dead
through passions, I beseech Thee, O
Compassionate One Who Loves
mankind.

and to the Holy Spirit
- SATURDAY OF ST LAZAROS - TONE 2
A Great and Paradoxical Miracle was
performed today! For from the grave
Christ summoned a man four days
dead and Resurrected him, calling
him His Beloved Friend. Let us sing
Glory to Him Who is Supremely
Glorious, so that at the Intercessions
of Lazaros the Righteous, He might
Save our souls.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
Ages.
