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.

Nikandros, Bishop of Myra

Reading from the Synaxarion:

The holy Martyrs Nicander and Hermias were ordained by the holy
Apostle Titus. When they had drawn many to the Faith of Christ, they were
accused to Libanius, the Count of the city of Myra, where, after
suffering many torments, they were enclosed in a tomb alive, and thus
surrendered their spirits into the hands of God.

Apolytikion in the Second Tone
As we celebrate the memory of Thy Prophet Nicander, O Lord, through
him we beseech Thee to save our souls.

Kontakion in the Third Tone
With your preaching as a plough, ye tilled men's souls with your
doctrines, for ye had yourselves been sown by Christ's wise husbandman,
Titus. Wherefore, ye became you Master's martyric harvest, brought to
Him as fruitful sheaves of sacred confession, O Nicander and Hermias,
when ye contested unto the death for His sake.
