FIFTH SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT
(Commemoration of Mary of Egypt)

Gospel (Mk 10,32-45): At that time, taking the Twelve aside Jesus again began to tell them what was going to happen to him. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise.” Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” He replied, “What do you wish [me] to do for you?” They answered him, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” They said to him, “We can.” 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 or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

П’ЯТА НЕДІЛЯ ПОСТУ
(Преподобної Марії Єгипетської)

Євангелія (Мк 10,32-45): Вони були в дорозі, поступаючи в Єрусалим. Ісус ішов перед ними. І дивувались вони, й, ідучи за ним, страхалися. І взявши знову дванадцятьох, почав їм говорити, що має статися з ним: “Оце йдемо в Єрусалим, і Син Чоловічий буде виданий первосвященикам та книжникам, і засудять його на смерть, і видадуть його поганам; і насміхатимуться з нього, плюватимуть на нього, бичуватимуть його й уб’ють, він же по трьох днях воскресне.” Яків же та Іван, сини Заведея, підходять до нього й кажуть йому: “Учителю, хочемо, щоб ти нам зробив те, чого попросим.” Він же їм відповів: “Що хочете, щc об я зробив вам?” “Зволь нам, - ті йому кажуть, - щоб ми сиділи: один праворуч, другий ліворуч від тебе у твоїй славі.” Ісус же сказав їм: “Не знаєте, чого просите. Чи можете пити чашу, яку я п’ю, і христитися хрищенням, яким я хрищусь?” Ті йому відповіли: “Можемо.” Ісус сказав їм: “Чашу, яку я п’ю, питимете,-і хрищення, яким я хрищуся, христитиметесь. Сидіти ж вам праворуч від мене чи ліворуч, - не моя річ вам дати, а кому приготовано.” Почули про те десятеро, тож обурились на Якова та Івана. Тоді Ісус прикликав їх і сказав їм: “Ви знаєте, що ті, яких вважають князями народів, верховодять ними, а їхні вельможі утискають їх. Не так воно хай буде між вами, але хто з-між вас хоче стати великим, хай буде вам слугою, і хто з-між вас хоче бути першим, хай буде рабом усіх. Бо й Син Чоловічий прийшов не на те, щоб йому служити лише щоб служити й віддати своє життя як викуп за багатьох.”
