Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have. And when He had thus spoken, He shewed them His hands and His feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And He took it, and did eat before them. And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

It came to pass that when the Feast of Pentecost was accomplished, the Spirit, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth Who proceeds from the Father, came upon the Apostles, and they wrought great signs and miracles among the people, and they bare witness with great boldness to the Resurrection of the Lord, that He had risen from the dead. Then they say the Gospel response in the ordinary tune: The Lord went unto Bethany With His holy Disciples. He raised His hands and blessed them, And ascended to the heavens. Let us worship our Saviour, The Good Lover of mankind, For He had compassion on us: He came and saved us. A second Gospel response to be said according to the choice of the reader: The heavenly and the earthly Were subdued unto Him— The Principalities, the Authorities, And them that are under the earth. We also entreat Thee, O Thou Who wast lifted up to Heaven, Blot out our many sins And our former iniquities. The priest then says the Prayer for the King (Ruler):
