إنجيل القدّيس متّى .38-36:9
رَأَى يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ تَحَنَّنَ عَلَيْهِم، لأَنَّهُم كَانُوا مَنْهُوكِيْن، مَطْرُوحِينَ مِثْلَ خِرَافٍ لا رَاعِيَ لَهَا
حينَئِذٍ قَالَ لِتَلامِيْذِهِ: إِنَّ الحِصَادَ كَثِيْر، أَمَّا الفَعَلَةُ فَقَلِيْلُون
أُطْلُبُوا إِذًا مِنْ رَبِّ الحِصَادِ أَنْ يُخِرِجَ فَعَلَةً إِلى حِصَادِهِ
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 8:23-27.
As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep.
They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
The men were amazed and said, “What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?”
