ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ -EPISTLE READING—II Timothy 3:10-15
Τ έκνον Τιμόθεε, παρηκολούθηκάς μου τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, τῇ ἀγωγῇ, τῇ
προθέσει, τῇ πίστει, τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ, τοῖς διωγμοῖς,
τοῖς παθήμασιν, οἷά μοι ἐγένετο ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ, ἐν Ἰκονίῳ, ἐν Λύστροις,
οἵους διωγμοὺς ὑπήνεγκα· καὶ ἐκ πάντων με ἐρρύσατο ὁ κύριος. Καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ
θέλοντες εὐσεβῶς ζῇν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ διωχθήσονται. Πονηροὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι καὶ
γόητες προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον, πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι. Σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς
ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνος ἔμαθες, καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ
γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ
Ἰησοῦ.
T IMOTHY, my son, you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim
in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions,
my sufferings, what befell me at Antioch, at lconion, and at Lystra, what
persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed all who
desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and
impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. But as for you,
continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom
you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred
writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ - GOSPEL READING—LUKE 18:10-14
Ε ἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τήν παραβολὴν ταύτην· Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ
ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης. ὁ
Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο· ὁ Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ
σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ
ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης· νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα
κτῶμαι. καὶ ὁ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς εἰς
τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐπᾶραι, ἀλλ᾿ ἔτυπτεν εἰς τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων· ὁ Θεός,
ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ. λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν
οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἢ γὰρ ἐκεῖνος· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ
ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
T he Lord said this parable, "Two men went up into the temple to pray,
one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other
men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice
a week, I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far off,
would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be
merciful to me a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he
who humbles himself will be exalted."
Memorials at conclusion of Divine Liturgy.
Fellowship in Hall following Divine Liturgy.

HYMNS OF THE DAY
WELCOME VISITORS
We welcome all visitors to St. John’s. If you are non-Orthodox and are interested in learning
who we are and what our beliefs and practices are, we invite you to any of our Bible Study
classes and of course the Class on the Orthodox Faith. On the other hand if you are an
Orthodox Christian and are not a member in another Orthodox Church we invite you (and your
family) to join our parish. (Note: While all may receive the Andidoron, the bread which is
given at the conclusion of services which of course is not consecrated, only Orthodox
Christians in good standing can receive Holy Communion and other Sacraments.)
SUNDAY OF THE PUBLICAN AND PHARISEE
The Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee is the first Sunday of a three-
week period prior to the commencement of Great Lent. It marks the
beginning of a time of preparation for the spiritual journey of Lent, a time
for Orthodox Christians to draw closer to God through worship, prayer,
fasting, and acts of charity. It is also on this day that the Triodion is
introduced, a liturgical book that contains the services from this Sunday,
the tenth before Pascha (Easter), to Great and Holy Saturday.
The Pharisees were an ancient and outstanding sect among the Jews known for their diligent
observance of the outward matters of the Law. Although, according to the word of our Lord,
they "did all their works to be seen of men" (Matt. 23:5), and were hypocrites (ibid. 23: 13,
14, 15, etc.), because of the apparent holiness of their lives they were thought by all to be
righteous, and separate from others, which is what the name Pharisee means. On the other
hand, Publicans, collectors of the royal taxes, committed many injustices and extortions for
filthy lucre's sake, and all held them to be sinners and unjust. It was therefore according to
common opinion that the Lord Jesus in His parable signified a virtuous person by a Pharisee,
and a sinner by a Publican, to teach His disciples the harm of pride and the profit of humble-
mindedness.
Since the chief weapon for virtue is humility, and the greatest hindrance to it is pride, the
divine Fathers have set these three weeks before the Forty-day Fast as a preparation for the
spiritual struggles of virtue. This present week they have called Harbinger, since it declares
that the Fast is approaching; and they set humility as the foundation for all our spiritual labors
by appointing that the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee be read today, even before the
Fast begins, to teach, through the vaunting of the Pharisee, that the foul smoke of self-esteem
and the stench of boasting drives away the grace of the Spirit, strips man of all his virtue, and
casts him into the pits of Hades; and, through the repentance and contrite prayer of the
Publican, that humility confers upon the sinner forgiveness of all his wicked deeds and raises
him up to the greatest heights.
