Irmos: Thou didst mount Thy steeds, Thine apostles, O Lord, and didst take their bridles in Thy hands; and Thy chariot hath become salvation for those who chant with faith: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
Unjustly driven from thy see, O wise and righteous father, thou wast well-pleased to suffer at the hands of unjust men, that thou mightest preserve intact the right doctrine of the Church.
Theotokion: O all-immaculate virgin, thou gavest birth to One of the Trinity Who, as God and man, is known in two natures and Who possesseth wills in accordance with His two natures.
Standing in the midst of the all-iniquitous as a lawful athlete, O God-pleasing hierarch, and afflicted, mocked, and dragged about by them in vain, thou didst remain steadfast of mind.
Thou didst consider the of those who vainly afflicted thee to be but the darts arrows of children, O Martin, and, suffering patiently, persecuted in vain and bound, thou wast imprisoned in a dungeon.
