12th Sunday After Pentecost

Gospel: Matthew 14:22-33
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of
him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed
them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came,
he was there alone, 24 but the boat was already a considerable distance from
land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the
lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified
saying,
“It’s a ghost,”
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water
and came toward Jesus. 30 But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid and,
beginning to sink, cried out,
“Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he
said, “why did you doubt?” 32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died
down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying,
“Truly you are the Son of God.”
