Troparion (Tone 4):
O foremost of the Apostles and teachers of the inhabited earth, / intercede with the Master of all / to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.
Kontakion (Tone 2):
You received the steadfast and divinely-inspired Heralds, O Lord, the Foremost Apostles, / for the enjoyment of Your blessings and repose. / For You recognized their labors and death as greater than any burnt offering, / for You alone know what is in the hearts of men.
Today Christ the Rock glorifies the rock of Faith / and leader of the Apostles with highest honor. / Together with Paul and the company of the Twelve, / whose memory we celebrate with eagerness of faith, / giving glory to Him Who glorified them.
Epistle: Romans 5:1-10; 2 Corinthians 11:21-12:9
Gospel: Matthew 6:22-33; Matthew 16:13-19
