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.

Haggai the Prophet

Reading from the Synaxarion:

The Prophet Haggai, whose name means "festive," was born in Babylon
at the time of the captivity Of the Jews. He began to prophesy in
Jerusalem after their return thereto, and to admonish the people to rebuild
the Temple, in the days of Zorobabel, the second year of the reign of
Darius Hystaspes, King of Persia, about the year 520 before Christ. His
prophecy, divided into two chapters, is ranked tenth among the minor
Prophets.

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

Kontakion in the Second Tone
Illumined in mind with streams of light from Heaven's heights, thou
brightly didst shine in prophecy throughout the world; and in manifesting
types of Christ's dispensation, which was to come, thou becamest
illustrious, O Prophet Aggaeus, wise in things divine.
