NINETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Gospel (Mt 14,22-34): At that time, Jesus 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 he [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.
9-а НЕДІЛЯ ПО ЗІСЛАННІ СВ. ДУХА
Євангелія (Мт 14,22-34): Того часу, Ісус зараз же спонукав учнів увійти до човна й переплисти на той бік раніше від нього, тим часом як він відпускав народ. І коли відпустив народ, пішов на гору помолитися насамоті. Як звечоріло, він був там сам один. Човен уже був посеред моря і його кидали хвилі, бо вітер був супротивний. О четвертій сторожі ночі (Ісус) прийшов до них, ступаючи морем. Учні, побачивши, що він іде морем, жахнулись. “То привид!” - заговорили й закричали з переляку. Та Ісус тієї ж миті мовив до них: “Заспокойтесь, - це я, не страхайтеся!” Аж тут Петро озвавсь до нього й каже: “Господи, коли це ти, повели мені підійти водою до тебе!” “Підійди,” - сказав Ісус. І вийшов Петро з човна, почав іти по воді і підійшов до Ісуса; але, побачивши, що вітер сильний, злякався, почав потопати й крикнув: “Господи, рятуй мене!” Ісус же притьмом простягнув руку, вхопив його і мовив до нього: “Маловіре, чого засумнівався?” І як увійшли до човна, вітер ущух. А тоді ті, що були в човні вклонилися йому до ніг, кажучи: “Ти істинно - Син Божий!” І перепливши, прибули в землю генезаретську.
