Tuesday of the 7th week.

August 29, Beheading of John the Baptist, at Matins.

The Gospel of Matthew, conceived 58

In those days Jesus saw a multitude of people and had compassion on them, and healed their sick. And when evening came, His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate, and the time is already late; let the people go, that they may go to the villages and buy food for themselves. But Jesus said to them, "They need not go, you give them something to eat." And they said to him, "We have only five loaves and two fishes here." He said, "Bring them to Me here." And he commanded the people to sit down on the grass, and having taken five loaves and two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and having broken them, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the people. And they all ate, and were satisfied; and they gathered up the remaining pieces, twelve baskets full; and those who ate were about five thousand people, besides women and children. And immediately Jesus compelled His disciples to enter the boat and go before Him to the other side, until He would let the people go.

Week 8.

The Gospel of Matthew, conceived 59

In those days Jesus compelled his disciples to enter the boat and go first to the other side, until he would let the people go. And having sent the people away, He went up to the mountain to pray alone; and in the evening he remained there alone. And the boat was already in the middle of the sea, and it was beaten by the waves, because the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, and said, "This is a ghost; And they cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately spoke to them and said, "Be of good cheer; it is I, do not be afraid. Peter answered and said to Him, "Lord! if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. And he said, Go. And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to come to Jesus, but when he saw a strong wind, he was frightened, and began to drown, and cried out, "Lord! Save me. Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, supported him, and said to him, "Thou of little faith! Why did you doubt? And when they entered the boat, the wind subsided. And those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him, and said, Truly Thou art the Son of God. And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

Евангелие от Матфея, зачало 60

В те дни узнав Иисуса, жители земли Геннисаретской послали во всю окрестность ту и принесли к Нему всех больных, и просили Его, чтобы только прикоснуться к краю одежды Его; и которые прикасались, исцелялись. Тогда приходят к Иисусу Иерусалимские книжники и фарисеи и говорят: зачем ученики Твои преступают предание старцев? ибо не умывают рук своих, когда едят хлеб. Он же сказал им в ответ: зачем и вы преступаете заповедь Божию ради предания вашего? Ибо Бог заповедал: почитай отца и мать; и: злословящий отца или мать смертью да умрет. А вы говорите: если кто скажет отцу или матери: дар Богу то, чем бы ты от меня пользовался, тот может и не почтить отца своего или мать свою; таким образом вы устранили заповедь Божию преданием вашим. Лицемеры! хорошо пророчествовал о вас Исаия, говоря: приближаются ко Мне люди сии устами своими, и чтут Меня языком, сердце же их далеко отстоит от Меня; но тщетно чтут Меня, уча учениям, заповедям человеческим. И, призвав народ, сказал им: слушайте и разумейте! не то, что входит в уста, оскверняет человека, но то, что выходит из уст, оскверняет человека.
