When the glorious disciples were enlightened / at the washing of their feet before the supper, / then the impious Judas was darkened, ailing with avarice / and to the lawless judges he betrays You, the righteous Judge. / Behold, O lover of money, this man who because of money hanged himself. / Flee from the greedy soul which dared such things against the Master. / O Lord, who is good towards all men, glory to You!
