When Jesus saw him lying there, and
knew that he already had been in
that condition for a long time, He
said to him: “Do you want to be
made well?”
The sick man answered Him: “Sir, I
have no man to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up; and
while I am going, another steps
down before me.”
Jesus said to him: “Rise. Take up your
bed and walk.”
And immediately the man was made
well, took up his bed and walked.
to him
who was cured: “It is the Sabbath! It
is not lawful for you to carry your
bed!”
He answered them: “He Who made me
well said to me: ‘Take up your bed
and walk.’”
They asked him: “Who is the Man Who
said to you: ‘Take up your bed and
walk?’”
But the one who was healed did not
know Who it was. Jesus had
withdrawn – a multitude being in
that place.
Afterwards Jesus found him in the
Temple and said to him: “Behold!
You have been made well. Sin no
more, lest a worse thing come
upon you.”
The man departed and told the
Judeans that it was Jesus Who had
made him well.

again, I say, Hail! Thy Son has
Resurrected on the Third Day from
the Tomb!
Be Illumined! Be Illumined, O New
Jerusalem! For the Glory of our Lord
has arisen over Thee! Dance now for
Joy, O Zion, and Exult! And be
merry, O Pure Theotokos, at the
Rising of He Whom Thou bore!

things that had happened.
it was, while they conversed and
reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew
near and went with them.
But their eyes were restrained, so that
they did not recognise Him.
He said to them: “What kind of
conversation is this that you have
with one another as you walk and
are sad?”
Then the one whose name was Cleopas
answered and said to Him: “Art Thou
the only Stranger in Jerusalem, and
does Thou not know the things that
have happened there in these days?”
And He said to them: “What things?”
So they said to Him: “The things

Rulers delivered Him to be

company, who arrived at the Tomb
early, astonished us.
For they told us that when they did not
find His Body, they beheld a Vision of
Angels who said He was alive!
“And certain of those who were with us
went to the Tomb and found it just as
the women had said; but Him they did
not see.”
Then He said to them, “O foolish ones,
and slow of heart to believe in all
that the Prophets have spoken!
Ought not the Christ to have
suffered these things and to enter
into His Glory?”
And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, He expounded to them in
all the Scriptures the Things
concerning Himself.
Then they drew near to the village
where they were going, and He
indicated that He would have gone
further. But they constrained Him,
saying: “Abide with us, for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent.”

Then their eyes were opened and they

spoke with us on the road, and while
He opened the Scriptures to us?”
And they arose that very hour and
returned to Jerusalem, and found the
Eleven and those who were with them
gathered together, saying: “The Lord
is Risen indeed, and has appeared to
Simon!”
And they related all the things that had
happened along the road, and how
