ተአምረኛው ኢየሱስ

ማቴዎስ ወንጌል 14:22-36

ወዲያውም ሕዝቡን ሲያሰናብት ሳለ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ በታንኳይቱ ገብተው ወደ ማዶ እንዲቀድሙት ግድ አላቸው።ሕዝቡንም አሰናብቶ ይጸልይ ዘንድ ብቻውን ወደ ተራራ ወጣ። በመሸም ጊዜ ብቻውን በዚያ ነበረ።ታንኳይቱም አሁን በባሕር መካከል ሳለች፥ ነፋስ ከወደ ፊት ነበርና በማዕበል ትጨነቅ ነበር።ከሌሊቱም በአራተኛው ክፍል ኢየሱስ በባሕር ላይ እየሄደ ወደ እነርሱ መጣ።
ደቀ መዛሙርቱም በባሕር ላይ ሲሄድ ባዩት ጊዜ። ምትሐት ነው ብለው ታወኩ በፍርሃትም ጮኹ።ወዲያውም ኢየሱስ ተናገራቸውና። አይዞአችሁ፥ እኔ ነኝ፤ አትፍሩ አላቸው።ጴጥሮስም መልሶ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተስ ከሆንህ በውኃው ላይ ወደ አንተ እንድመጣ እዘዘኝ አለው።እርሱም። ና አለው። ጴጥሮስም ከታንኳይቱ ወርዶ ወደ ኢየሱስ ሊደርስ በውኃው ላይ ሄደ።
ነገር ግን የነፋሱን ኃይል አይቶ ፈራ፥ ሊሰጥምም በጀመረ ጊዜ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አድነኝ ብሎ ጮኸ።ወዲያውም ኢየሱስ እጁን ዘርግቶ ያዘውና። አንተ እምነት የጎደለህ፥ ስለምን ተጠራጠርህ? አለው።ወደ ታንኳይቱም በወጡ ጊዜ ነፋሱ ተወ።በታንኳይቱም የነበሩት። በእውነት የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ ነህ ብለው ሰገዱለት።ተሻግረውም ወደ ጌንሴሬጥ ምድር መጡ።የዚያ ቦታ ሰዎችም ባወቁት ጊዜ በዙርያው ወዳለ አገር ሁሉ ላኩ፥ ሕመምተኞችንም ሁሉ ወደ እርሱ አመጡ፤የልብሱንም ጫፍ ብቻ ሊዳስሱ ይለምኑት ነበር፤ የዳሰሱትም ሁሉ ዳኑ።

Matthew 14:22-36(ESV)

Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

And 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 and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.
