(Ἀντίφωνον ΙΑ’ Ἦχος πλ. β’)
For all the good performed by Thee,
O Christ, the Hebrews deemed it meet
To bear Thee from the judgment-seat
And nail Thee to the cruel tree;
They gave Thee vinegar and gall—
But render justice to them all.
ὁ αὐτός
’Twas not enough they should betray
And nail Thee to the Cross to die;
