Isaiah 12:3-6

After the 3rd parimia, the reader proclaims the prokeimenon, the same as at the Liturgy, and reads:

Apostle

Corinthians, conceived 143B

Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized in the cloud and in the sea; and all tasted the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them. And the rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:1–4

Alleluia, tone 4

Verse: The voice of the Lord is on the waters, the God of glory roared, the Lord is on many waters. Ps 28:3

The Gospel of Mark, conceived 2b

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And straightway, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opening and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "Thou art My Beloved Son, upon Thee is My good pleasure."

Mark 1:9–11
