GOSPEL John 5:19-30
Life Through the Son
Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to his Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has
eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. I tell you the truth, a timing is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out - those who have done good will rise to live, those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me...”
(On Page 1054 in your Bibles)
EPISTLE 1 Peter 5:1-14
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers - not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility towards one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love. (On Page 1203 in your Bibles)

From the May 8th issue of Crossroads
RED SUNDAY
This Sunday, May 11, is the fourth Sunday of Eastertide, known as Red Sunday (Garmir Giragi). The name does not have an ecclesiastical origin. Red is the color of blood and this may be an appropriate time to honor the memory of the early Christian martyrs.
The name Red Sunday is also believed to refer to the burst of color that comes forth from the land after a barren winter. Similar to last week’s Green Sunday, it is a celebration of nature and life, symbolizing rebirth after the Resurrection of our Lord.
THIS WEEK IN ARMENIAN HISTORY
(Prepared by the Armenian National Education Committee[ANEC])
Death of Stepanos Nazariantz (May 9, 1879)
The nineteenth century was a period of
awakening for Armenians both in the Ottoman
and the Russian Empire. In Russia, one of its
pioneers was Stepanos Nazariantz, a journalist,
teacher, and orientalist.
He was born on May 27, 1812, in Tiflis (now Tbilisi),
in the family of a priest. The Nersisian Lyceum,
founded by the primate of the Armenian
Apostolic Church in Georgia, Nerses Ashtaraketsi,
was opened in 1824, and Nazariantz studied there
between 1824 and 1829. He became also one of
the first Armenian students of the Caucasus to
study in Dorpat (now Tartu, in Estonia), which had one of the best, German-speaking universities
in the Russian Empire.
In Dorpat, Nazariantz first studied at the gymnasium for a year (1833-1834) and then at the
schools of Medicine (1835-1836) and Philosophy (1836-1840). He wrote his doctoral dissertation
on the work of Persian poet Ferdowsi, Shahnameh (Book of Kings). From 1842-1849 he was the
chair of the Armenian language department at the University of Kazan. Later he moved to
Moscow, where he was professor of Persian language and literature at the famous Lazarian
Lyceum until his death. From 1869-1871 he was also principal of the lyceum.
Influenced by European enlightenment and Russian social movements of the 1840s, Nazariantz
wrote against the ruling feudal system and its ideology. He was a fervent advocate of
modernization, as well as of patriotic ideas, such as the struggle against Turkish domination. He
saw education as the key of Armenian progress, and supported the development of secular
instruction and methods of pedagogy that were consistent and age-appropriate. He
advocated the use of Modern Armenian, and perhaps his greatest achievement was the
publication of the monthly Hiusisapayl (Aurora Borealis, 1858-1864), together with his younger
associate Mikayel Nalbandian, which had an important role in the development of Eastern
Armenian. The monthly became the voice of progressive ideas, and ran afoul of the Armenian
establishment due to the discussion of sensitive issues, such as his criticism of serfdom and
clerical power. Nazariantz and Nalbandian developed principles to modernize literary criticism
among Armenians.
Nazariantz wrote a number of books in Russian (A Brief Survey of Thirteenth Century Armenian
Literature, 1844; A Survey of Armenian Literature in the Modern Period, 1846) and Armenian
(Discourse on Experimental Psychology, 1853; First Spiritual Nutrition for Armenian Children,
1853; Source Book of Religion, 1854, and Review of Modern Armenian Speaking, 1857). He also
wrote poetry and translated many works, including those of Swiss poet Friedrich Schiller. He
passed away on May 9, 1879, in Moscow.
Please Remember...
Copies of the following Bi-Lingual Prelacy publications
are available for purchase from the Church Office
Historical Atlas of Armenia $40
Commentary on the Nicene Creed $15
