Reading from the Synaxarion:
Philemon, who was from Colossae, a city of Phrygia, was a man both wealthy
and noble; Apphia was his wife. Archippus became Bishop of the
Church in Colossae. All three were disciples of the Apostle Paul.
Onesimus, who was formerly an unbeliever and slave of Philemon, stole
certain of his vessels and fled to Rome. However, on finding him there,
the Apostle Paul guided him onto the path of virtue and the knowledge
of the truth, and sent him back to his master Philemon, to whom he
wrote an epistle (this is one of the fourteen epistles of Saint Paul).
In this epistle, Paul commended Onesimus to his master and
reconciled the two. Onesimus was later made a bishop; in Greece he is
honoured as the patron Saint of the imprisoned. All these Saints received
their end by martyrdom, when they were stoned to death by the
idolaters. Saint Onesimus is also commemorated on February 15.
Apolytikion in the Third Tone
O Holy Apostles, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant
our souls forgiveness of sins.
Kontakion in the Second Tone
We praise Christ's Apostles as bright stars illumining the ends of
the world, glorious Philemon, Onesimus, Archippus, and with them,
wise Apphia, crying: Pray unceasingly in behalf of us all.
37 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.
38 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά: γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν.
39 καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη μαριάμ, [ἣ] καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
40 ἡ δὲ μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν: ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται.
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, μάρθα μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
42 ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία: μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς.
