At the aposticha, these stichera, in Tone II—

O divinely wise John, illumined by the grace of God and given wings by divine love, thou didst pass unhindered through the night of suffering of a slave’s life in the midst of infidels, and didst attain unto the never-waning day of the freedom of paradise, enlightening the fullness of the faithful with the rays thereof.

Now & ever…: doxasticon from the Pentecostarion, or the theotokion, in the same tone—

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Stichos: Many are the tribulations of the righteous, and the Lord shall deliver them out of them all.

Or this troparion, in the same tone—

Made captive by Tartars and sold into bondage to Moslems, O most honored one, thou wast made to dwell in a horse’s stall, as Job sat upon his dung-hill, afflicted and oppressed; wherefore, in accordance with the righteous judgment of God, thou hast found consolation in the bosom of Abraham after thy repose, where the abode is of all those who rejoice.

Now & ever…: troparion from the Pentecostarion, or the theotokion, in the same tone—

Stichos: The righteous man shall flourish like a palm tree, and like a cedar in Lebanon shall he be multiplied.

Having lived in a God-pleasing manner far from thine earthly native land, O blessed one, thou hast made thine abode in the heavenly homeland, adorned with the gifts of the Spirit. Be thou therefore a fervent mediator before the Lord for Russia and its people, and for this land; and by thy supplications free them all from sufferings and disease, O namesake of grace.

Glory…, in Tone VI—

Possessed of a goodly mind, a watchful heart and love unfeigned, and ever uniting himself to God in vigils of prayer, the righteous John received his blessed repose on this day: he soareth aloft in the purity of his soul to rejoice with the elect of the heavenly Father, but hath left us his holy relics for our consolation and sanctification. And hastening to them, we cry out to him: O God-pleaser, ask thou forgiveness of offenses, peace and great mercy for those who hymn thee!

Christ the Lord, my Creator and Deliverer, Who came forth from thy womb, O all-pure one, and robed Himself in me, hath freed Adam from the curse. Wherefore, like the angel do we unceasingly cry out to thee, O most pure one, who art truly the Mother of God and Virgin: Rejoice! Rejoice, O Mistress, thou intercession, protection and salvation for our souls!

The Lord, Who summoned thee forth from thine earthly captivity to the mansions of heaven, preserveth thy body intact and imparteth to it the ability to heal, O righteous John; for thou, who wast captured in Russia and sold in Asia, didst live piously among the Moslem infidels, in great endurance, and, having sown here in tears, thou reapest there in ineffable joy. Wherefore, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.

He Who summoned thee to the mansions of heaven preserveth thy body incorrupt after death; for as a captive thou wast taken to Asia, where thou didst emulate Christ. Wherefore, entreat Him, that our souls be saved.

The mystery hidden from before the ages and unknown even to the angels, through thee, O Theotokos, hath been revealed to those on earth: God incarnate in unconfused union, Who willingly accepted the Cross for our sake and, thereby raising up the first-formed man, hath saved our souls from death.
