because Thou gave rise to the Sun of
Righteousness? Or, shall we call
Thee Paradise because Thou
brought forth the Flower of
Incorruption? Or a Virgin because
Thou remained without defilement?
Or a Pure Mother because Thou
carried in Thy Holy Arms as a Son,
the God of all? Therefore, plead with
Him that He may Save our souls.
Today the nature of water is
Sanctified, and the Jordan is cloven,
and its waters shall be withheld
from flowing; the Master being
shown washed therein. [2]
Therefore will I remember Thee from
the land of the Jordan and Hermon,
from the small mountain.
Thou went the river as Man, O Christ
King. Thou hastened, O Good One, to
receive Baptism as a servant at the
hands of the Forerunner, for our sins,
O Lover of mankind.
The waters saw Thee, O God, the
waters saw Thee and were afraid,
and the depths were troubled – a
multitude like the sound of
waters.[PSALM 76:17]

O Master, Lord Jesus Christ our God,
Who art patient with our sins, and
Who has brought us even to the
present hour, in the which, as Thou
hung upon the Life-giving Tree Thou
made a Way into Paradise for the
Penitent Thief, and by Death
destroyed Death:
Cleanse us sinners, Thine unworthy
servants; for we have sinned and
have dealt iniquitously, and we are
not worthy to lift up our eyes and
look upon the heights of Heaven,
inasmuch as we have departed from
the Path of Thy Righteousness, and
have walked after the desires of our
own hearts.
Yet we implore Thy boundless
Goodness.
Spare us, O Lord, according to the
multitude of Thy Mercies, and Save
us, for Thy Holy Name’s sake; for
our days have passed away in vanity.
Wrest us from the hand of the
adversary, and forgive us our sins,
and mortify in us carnal imagination;
Thus putting off the Old Man, we may
be clothed upon with the New Man,
and may live in Thee, our Master and
Benefactor.
And, so by obeying Thy
Commandments, we may attain Rest
Eternal, where all those who rejoice
abide.
For Thou art in verily the True Joy and
Exultation of those who Love Thee, O
Christ our God

He said therefore to the multitudes that
went forth to be Baptised by him:
You offspring of vipers, who has
taught you to flee from the Wrath to
come? Bring forth therefore fruits
worthy of Repentance; and do not
begin to say, We have Abraham for
our Father. For I say to you that God
is able from these stones to raise up
children to Abraham.
trees. Every tree therefore that does
not bring forth Good Fruit, shall be
cut down and cast into the fire!
the people asked him, saying:
What then shall we do? And he
answering, said to them: He who has
two coats, let him give to him who
has none; and he who has meat, let
him do in like manner.
The Publicans also came to be Baptised,
and said to him: “Teacher, what
shall we do?”
said to them: “Do nothing more
than that which is appointed you.”
The soldiers also asked him, saying:
“And what shall we do?”
And he said to them: “Do no violence -
nor slander anyone, and be content
with your pay.”
As the people were in expectation,, and
all pondered in their heart
concerning John - that perhaps he
might be the Chris - John answered,
saying to all: “I indeed Baptise you
with water; but there shall come One
Mightier than I, the latchet of Whose
sandals I am not worthy to loosen: He
shall Baptise you with the Holy Spirit,
and with Fire; and will gather the
Wheat into His Barn; but the Chaff He
will burn with Unquenchable Fire.”
Many other things, exhorting, he
preached to the people.

For if we have been planted together in
