1 337 East 74th Street, New York, NY Rev. Fr. John Vlahos, Dean Bulletin for Sunday, November 27, th Sunday of Luke HIS EMINENCE ARCHBISHOP DEMETRIOS, GERON OF AMERICA REV. FR. JOHN VLAHOS, DEAN REV. DR. ROBERT STEPHANOPOULOS, DEAN EMERITUS Saints and Feasts James the Great Martyr of Persia, Nathaniel of Nitria & Pinouphrios of Egypt, the Righteous & James the Wonderworker St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 2:4-10 Brethren, God who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God: not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Πρὸς Ἐφεσίους 2:4-10 Ἀδελφοί, ὁ θεός, πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει, διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡµᾶς, καὶ ὄντας ἡµᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώµασιν συνεζωοποίησεν τῷ Χριστῷ - χάριτί ἐστε σεσωσµένοι - καὶ συνήγειρεν, καὶ συνεκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἵνα ἐνδείξηται ἐν τοῖς αἰῶσιν τοῖς ἐπερχοµένοις τὸν ὑπερβάλλοντα πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ ἐν χρηστότητι ἐφʼ ἡµᾶς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῇ γὰρ χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσµένοι διὰ τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐξ ὑµῶν θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα µή τις καυχήσηται. Αὐτοῦ γάρ ἐσµεν ποίηµα, κτισθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς προητοίµασεν ὁ θεός, ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωµεν. The Gospel according to Luke 18:18-27 At that time, a ruler came to Jesus and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.' " And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth." And when Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard this he became sad, for he was very rich. Jesus looking at him said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

2 Κατὰ Λουκᾶν 18:18-27 Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἄρχων λέγων διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονοµήσω; εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ιησοῦς τί µε λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ µὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός. τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας µὴ µοιχεύσῃς, µὴ φονεύσῃς, µὴ κλέψῃς, µὴ ψευδοµαρτυρήσῃς, τίµα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν µητέρα σου. ὁ δὲ εἶπε ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάµην ἐκ νεότητός µου. ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει µοι. ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγένετο ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα. ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ιησοῦς περίλυπον γενόµενον εἶπε πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήµατα ἔχοντες εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ! εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστι κάµηλον διὰ τρυµαλιᾶς ῥαφίδος εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν. εἶπον δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι; ὁ δὲ εἶπε τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἐστιν.
