إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 22:12-31
وَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: لِهذَا أَقُولُ لَكُم: لا تَهْتَمُّوا لِنَفْسِكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُون، وَلا لِجَسَدِكُم بِمَا تَلْبَسُون.
فٱلنَّفْسُ أَهَمُّ مِنَ الطَّعَام، وَالجَسَدُ أَهَمُّ مِنَ اللِّبَاس.
تَأَمَّلُوا الغِرْبَان، فَهيَ لا تَزْرَعُ وَلا تَحْصُد، وَلَيْسَ لَهَا مَخَازِنُ وَأَهْرَاء، وٱللهُ يَقُوتُها. فَكَمْ أَنْتُم بِالحَرِيِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الطُّيُور؟
وَمَنْ مِنْكُم، إِذَا ٱهْتَمَّ، يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُطِيلَ عُمْرَهُ مِقْدارَ ذِرَاع؟
فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ القَلِيل، فَلِمَاذَا تَهْتَمُّونَ بِالبَاقِي؟
تَأَمَّلُوا الزَّنَابِقَ كَيْفَ تَنْمُو، وَهيَ لا تَغْزِلُ وَلا تَنْسُج، وَأَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ نَفْسَهُ، في كُلِّ مَجْدِهِ، لَمْ يَلْبَسْ كَوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا.
فَإِنْ كَانَ العُشْبُ الَّذي يُوجَدُ اليَومَ في الحَقْل، وَغَدًا يُطْرَحُ في التَّنُّور، يُلْبِسُهُ اللهُ هكذَا، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى أَنْتُم، يَا قَلِيلِي الإِيْمَان؟
فَأَنْتُم إِذًا، لا تَطْلُبُوا مَا تَأْكُلُون، وَمَا تَشْرَبُون، وَلا تَقْلَقُوا،
فَهذَا كُلُّهُ يَسْعَى إِلَيْهِ الوَثَنِيُّونَ في هذَا العَالَم، وَأَبُوكُم يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُم تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْه.
بَلِ ٱطْلُبُوا مَلَكُوتَ الله، وَهذَا كُلُّهُ يُزَادُ لَكُم
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 14:22-36.
Then he made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone.
Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it.
During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking on the sea.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear.
At once (Jesus) spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”
He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.
But when he saw how (strong) the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
After they got into the boat, the wind died down.
Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret.
When the men of that place recognized him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to him all those who were sick
and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak, and as many as touched it were healed.
