Daily Readings:
Isaiah 20:2-21:6; Galatians 4:3-18; Luke 4:14-23
The Gospel
Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." And he closed the book and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words, which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?" And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here also in your own country.'"

Ճաշու Ընթերցումներ
Եսայի 20:2-21:6, Գաղ. 4:3-18, Ղուկաս 4:14-23
Աւետարանի Ընթերցում
Յիսուս Գալիլեա վերադարձաւ Սուրբ Հոգիին զօրութեամբ, եւ ամբողջ գաւառին մէջ իր համբաւը տարածուեցաւ։ Անոնց ժողովարաններուն մէջ կþուսուցաներ՝ արժանանալով բոլորին հիացումին ու գովասանքին։
Եկաւ Նազարէթ քաղաքը, ուր մեծցած էր, եւ իր սովորութեան համաձայն Շաբաթ օր ժողովարան գնաց։ Երբ ոտքի ելաւ կարդալու համար օրուան ընթերցուածը, իրեն տուին Եսայի մարգարէին գիրքը։ Բացաւ եւ գտաւ այնտեղ ուր կþըսէր. «Տիրոջ Հոգին վրաս է. որովհետեւ զիս օծեց եւ ղրկեց՝ աղքատներուն փրկութեան աւետիս տալու, սրտաբեկները մխիթարելու, գերիներուն ազատութիւն բերելու, կոյրերուն աչքերը բանալու, հարստահարուածները ազատելու եւ յայտարարելու՝ թէ ահա հասած է ժամանակը, երբ Տէրը պիտի փրկէ իր ժողովուրդը»։
Ապա գոցեց գիրքը, տուաւ պաշտօնեային եւ նստաւ։ Ժողովարանին մէջ գտնուողներուն բոլորին աչքերը իրեն սեւեռած էին, երբ ըսաւ. «Այս մարգարէութիւնը որ դուք լսեցիք, ահա այսօր իրականացաւ»։
Ամէնքն ալ տպաւորուած էին իրմէ եւ հիանալով անոր շնորհալի խօսքերուն վրայ՝ կþըսէին. «Այս մարդը Յովսէփի որդին չէ՞»։
Յիսուս ըսաւ. «Անտարակոյս ինծի պիտի ըսէք հետեւեալ առածը.» Բժի՛շկ, դուն քեզ բժշկէ։ «Եւ ինչ որ լսեցինք որ գործեր ես Կափառնաումի մէջ, այստեղ՝ քու հայրենի գաւառիդ մէջ ալ կատարէ»:

SEEKING SPONSORS FOR ORPHANS OF ARTSAKH HEROES AND MARTYRS
We still have 120 orphans of soldiers who died heroically during the Artsakh war in the waiting list of the Eastern Prelacy’s St. Nerses the Great Organization in Armenia. We are grateful to all our sponsors, both individuals and institutions, who make their annual contribution of $250 per child and support our efforts. When you contribute an amount that would buy less than a cup of coffee per day, you alleviate the financial burdens of the recipient and his or her family, but also boost their morale and make them feel that they are not alone. It is with this spirit that we are looking forward to finding new sponsors.
