إنجيل القدّيس متّى14/من22حتى33/:” 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!».

رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل تسالونيقي05/من12حتى28/:”يا إخوَتِي، نَسْأَلُكُم أَنْ تُكْرِمُوا الَّذِينَ يَتْعَبُونَ بَيْنَكُم، ويَرْئِسُونَكُم في الرَّبّ، وَيَنْصَحُونَكُم، وأَنْ تَحْتَرِمُوهُم بِمَحَبَّةٍ أَعْظَمَ ٱحْتِرَام، كَرَامَةً لِعَمَلِهِم. كُونُوا مُسَالِمِينَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا. ونُنَاشِدُكُم، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة: إِنْصَحُوا المُقْلِقِين، شَجِّعُوا الخَائِفِين، أَسْنِدُوا الضُّعَفَاء، وتَأَنَّوا معَ الجَمِيع. إِحْذَرُوا أَنْ تُبَادِلُوا شَرًّا بِشَرّ، بَلِ ٱتَّبِعُوا الْخَيرَ دائِمًا بَعْضُكُم لِبَعْضٍ وَلِلْجَمِيع. إِفْرَحُوا على الدَّوَام. صَلُّوا بِغَيْرِ ٱنْقِطَاع. أُشْكُرُوا في كُلِّ شَيء. فَهذِهِ مَشِيئَةُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُم في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع. لا تُطْفِئُوا الرُّوح. لا تَحْتَقِرُوا النُّبُوءَات. بَلِ ٱمْتَحِنُوا كُلَّ شَيء، وتَمَسَّكُوا بِمَا هُوَ حَسَن. إِمْتَنِعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ شِبْهِ شَرّ. لِيُقَدِّسْكُم إِلهُ السَّلامِ نَفْسُهُ تَقْدِيسًا تَامًّا، وَيَحْفَظْ رُوحَكُم ونَفْسَكُم وجَسَدَكُم حِفْظًا كَامِلاً، بِغَيرِ لَوْم، عِنْدَ مَجيءِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح! أَمِينٌ هُوَ الَّذي دَعَاكُم، وهُوَ الَّذي سَيَعْمَل. صَلُّوا أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِنَا، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة. سَلِّمُوا عَلى جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَة. أَسْتَحْلِفُكُم بِالرَّبّ: فَلْتُقْرَأْ هذِهِ الرِّسَالَةُ عَلى جَمِيعِ الإِخْوَة.نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مَعَكُم!”
Peter cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 14/22-33:”Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake. But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’ Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came towards Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.”
See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all
First Letter to the Thessalonians 05/12-28:”But we appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labour among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, beloved, to admonish the idlers, encourage the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise the words of prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good;
abstain from every form of evil. May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this. Beloved, pray for us. Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss. I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all of them. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”
