02082016 Gospel Mt 14:22-36

Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede him to the other side of the sea, 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 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. When the men of that place recognized him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to him all those who were sick and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak, and as many as touched it were healed.

Paghikita nan mga disciple na may nagpanaw sa ibabaw sa danaw, nangahadlok sila kay an pagtuo nila na may multo moabotay.

Pero nan hasuod na si Jesus dila, taglang’an sila Nija na “Pagbaton kamo nan kaisog, ako ini; ajaw kamo magkahadlok.”

Dinhi na nakabaton nan kaisog si Peter pinaagi sa paghagit nija kan Lord nan inlang’an sija na mokadto sija sa tubig, despuwes, nagsugod na sija pagpanaw sa ibabaw sa tubig.

Pero, tungod sa kahadlok sa makusog na hangin, nagsugod na ‘sab sija pag-unlod ‘katapos, nosinggit dajon sija na “Lord, isalbar ako!”

Unabes, induhoy ni Jesus an Ija bukton para makakapot si Peter, dajon, inlang’an Nija sila na “Kagamay ra gajud nan ijo pagtuo, uno ma’y ijo pag-duha-duha?”

Dinhi na nila indeklarar na si Jeus an tinood na Son of God.

May pagduha-duha pa ba gihapon kita na si Jesus Christ an ato Lord, na Sija an tinood na Son of God?
