Holy Wednesday Evening—the service of the Mystical Supper.
«Ότε η ένδοξοι μαθηταί
εν τω νιπτήρι εφωτίζοντο,
τότε Ιούδας ο δυσεβής,
φιλαργυρίαν νοσήσας, εκοτίζετο·
και ανόμοις κριταίς
σε τον δίκαιον κριτήν παραδίδωσι.
Βλέπε, χρημάτων εραστά,
τον δια ταύτα αγχόνη χρησάμενον·
φεύγε ακόρεστον ψυχήν
την διδασκάλω τοιαύτα τολμήσασαν.
Ο περί πάντων αγαθός,
Κύριε, δόξα σοι.»
“While the glorious Disciples were being illumined at the washing of the feet during the Supper, then, too, did Judas the ungodly one, succumb to darkness, being sick with avarice. And he delivered You, the righteous Judge, to lawless judges. Look here, O lover of money, and see the one who for money’s sake hanged himself. Flee from the greed that made him dare commit such a deed against the Teacher. O Lord benevolent to all, glory be to You.”
