إنجيل القدّيس متّى .33-22:14
في الحَالِ أَلْزَمَ يَسُوعُ التَّلامِيْذَ أَنْ يَرْكَبُوا السَّفِيْنَةَ ويَسْبِقُوهُ إِلى الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى، رَيْثَمَا يَصْرِفُ الجُمُوع
وبَعْدَمَا صَرَفَ الجُمُوعَ صَعِدَ إِلى الجَبَلِ مُنْفَرِدًا لِيُصَلِّي. ولَمَّا كَانَ المَسَاء، بَقِيَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ هُنَاك
وكَانَتِ السَّفِيْنَةُ قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ عَلى مَسَافَةِ غَلَوَاتٍ كَثِيْرَةٍ مِنَ اليَابِسَة، وكَانَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ تَلْطِمُهَا لأَنَّ الرِّيْحَ كَانَتْ مُخَالِفَةً لَهَا
وفي آخِرِ اللَّيْل، جَاءَ يَسُوعُ إِلى تَلامِيْذِهِ مَاشِيًا عَلى البُحَيْرَة
ورآهُ التَّلامِيْذُ مَاشِيًا عَلى البُحَيْرَةِ فَٱضْطَرَبُوا وقَالُوا: «إِنَّهُ شَبَح!». ومِنْ خَوْفِهِم صَرَخُوا
وفي الحَالِ كَلَّمَهُم يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: ثِقُوا! أَنَا هُوَ، لا تَخَافُوا
فَأَجَابَهُ بُطْرُسُ وقَال: يَا رَبّ، إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ هُوَ، فَمُرْنِي أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَلى المِيَاه
فَقَال: «تَعَالَ!». ونَزَلَ بُطْرُسُ مِنَ السَّفِيْنَةِ فَمَشَى عَلى المِيَاه، وذَهَبَ نَحْوَ يسُوع
ولَمَّا رَأَى الرِّيْحَ شَدِيْدَةً خَاف، وبَدَأَ يَغْرَق، فَصَرَخ قائِلاً: يَا رَبّ، نَجِّنِي
وفي الحَالِ مَدَّ يَسُوعُ يَدَهُ فَأَمْسَكَهُ وقَالَ لَهُ: يَا قَلِيْلَ الإِيْمَان، لِمَاذَا شَكَكْت؟
ولَمَّا صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ وبُطْرُسُ إِلى السَّفِيْنَةِ سَكَنَتِ الرِّيْح
فَسَجَدَ الَّذينَ هُمْ في السَّفِيْنَةِ لِيَسُوعَ وقَالُوا: حَقًّا أَنْتَ ٱبْنُ الله
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 14:7-14.
Jesus said to his disciples: “If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.
And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.
