AHEPA
May 14th, Saturday, the day before AHEPA Sunday, for this year's Scholarship
awards presented by our AHEPA Chapter, we will be having a buffet dinner with a focus
on "Mezedes" starting at 7:00pm. More details will be announced as we develop our
schedule for that night including menu and perhaps music. This event will be open to all
with a door charge of $35 for adults and $20 for teens and below with net proceeds going
into the AHEPA Scholarship Fund.
Saint Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 9:11-14
You, O Lord, shall keep us and preserve us.
Save me, O Lord, for the godly man has failed.
BRETHREN, when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have
come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of
this creation) he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and
calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the sprinkling of
defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies
for the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God.
The Gospel according to Saint Mark 10:32-45
Sunday of Saint Mary of Egypt
At that time, Jesus taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to
happen to him, saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be
delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and
deliver him to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him,
and kill him; and after three days he will rise."
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him, and said to him,
"Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." And he said to them, "What
do you want me to do for you?" And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right
hand and one at your left, in your glory."
But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to
drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
And they said to him, "We are able." And 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 hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been
prepared." And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant of James and John. And
Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule
over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. But it
shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of man also came
not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Σὺ Κύριε, φυλάξαις ἡµᾶς καὶ διατηρήσαις ἡµᾶς, Σῶσον µε Κύριε ,
ὅτι ἐκλέλοιπεν ὅσιος.
Ἀδελφοί, Χριστὸς δὲ παραγενόµενος ἀρχιερεὺς τῶν µελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, διὰ τῆς
µείζονος καὶ τελειοτέρας σκηνῆς, οὐ χειροποιήτου, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν, οὐ ταύτης τῆς κτίσεως,
οὐδὲ διʼ αἵµατος τράγων καὶ µόσχων, διὰ δὲ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵµατος εἰσῆλθεν ἐφάπαξ εἰς τὰ
ἅγια, αἰωνίαν λύτρωσιν εὑράµενος. Εἰ γὰρ τὸ αἷµα ταύρων καὶ τράγων, καὶ σποδὸς
δαµάλεως ῥαντίζουσα τοὺς κεκοινωµένους, ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα,
πόσῳ µᾶλλον τὸ αἷµα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὃς διὰ πνεύµατος αἰωνίου ἑαυτὸν προσήνεγκεν
ἄµωµον τῷ θεῷ, καθαριεῖ τὴν συνείδησιν ὑµῶν ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, εἰς τὸ λατρεύειν θεῷ
ζῶντι;
Κατὰ Μᾶρκον 10:32-45
Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, παραλαβάνει ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς δώδεκα µαθητάς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤρξατο
αὐτοῖς λέγειν τὰ µέλλοντα αὐτῷ συµβαίνειν, ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνοµεν εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυµα καὶ ὁ
υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσι καὶ γραµµατεῦσι, καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν
αὐτὸν θανάτῳ καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἐµπαίξουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ
µαστιγώσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐµπτύσουσιν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ
ἡµέρᾳ ἀναστήσεται. Καὶ προσπορεύονται αὐτῷ ᾿Ιάκωβος καὶ ᾿Ιωάννης υἱοὶ Ζεβεδαίου
λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, θέλοµεν ἵνα ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσωµεν ποιήσῃς ἡµῖν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί
θέλετε ποιῆσαί µε ὑµῖν; οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· δὸς ἡµῖν ἵνα εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου καὶ εἷς ἐξ
εὐωνύµων σου καθίσωµεν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου. ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐκ οἴδατε τί
αἰτεῖσθε. δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω, καὶ τὸ βάπτισµα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζοµαι
βαπτισθῆναι; οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· δυνάµεθα. ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τὸ µὲν ποτήριον ὃ
ἐγὼ πίνω πίεσθε, καὶ τὸ βάπτισµα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζοµαι βαπτισθήσεσθε· τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ
δεξιῶν µου καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύµων οὐκ ἔστιν ἐµὸν δοῦναι, ἀλλ᾿ οἷς ἡτοίµασται. Καὶ
ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἤρξαντο ἀγανακτεῖν περὶ ᾿Ιακώβου καὶ ᾿Ιωάννου. ὁ δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς
προσκαλεσάµενος αὐτοὺς λέγει αὐτοῖς· οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ δοκοῦντες ἄρχειν τῶν ἐθνῶν
κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ µεγάλοι αὐτῶν κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν· οὐχ οὕτω δὲ
ἔσται ἐν ὑµῖν, ἀλλ᾿ ὃς ἐὰν θέλῃ γενέσθαι µέγας ἐν ὑµῖν, ἔσται ὑµῶν διάκονος, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν
θέλῃ ὑµῶν γενέσθαι πρῶτος, ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος· καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ
ἦλθε διακονηθῆναι, ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι, καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.
