my folly. I have been wretched and utterly

 THE SYNAXARION (Plain Reading)
On May 15 in the Holy Orthodox Church, we commemorate our Venerable Father
Pachomios the Great of Egypt; Achilles, bishop of Larisa; and Martyr Barbaros the myrrh-
streaming of Corfu.
On this day, the fourth Sunday of Pascha, we commemorate the Paralytic and, as is
right, we celebrate the miracle wrought for him.

Verses
The word of Christ was strength for the paralytic;
So that this word alone was the man’s full healing.

Jesus healed the Paralytic at the Sheep’s Pool, located near the Sheep’s Gate of Jerusalem,
where people sacrificed their beasts and washed their insides. The pool had five sides, with
a porch and arch on each. A number of people, afflicted with various diseases, passed
through them, waiting at the water for an angel to come down and stir it. Once it moved,
whoever stepped into the water first was instantly healed. One poor man, whose story is
recounted in today’s Gospel lection in the Divine Liturgy, waited 38 years for someone to
lower him into the water, because he was unable to move into the water himself. However,
the Savior merely commanded the man to get up and walk, and he was healed.
In Thine infinite mercy, O Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
