Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Matthew the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Matthew 14 : 23 - 33
Chapter 14
| 23 | And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
|
| 24 | But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
|
| 25 | Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
|
| 26 | And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.
|
| 27 | But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."
|
| 28 | And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
|
| 29 | So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
|
| 30 | But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
|
| 31 | And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
|
| 32 | And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
|
| 33 | Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
