First Book of Kings 19: 9, 11-13

9:9 At nang makarating na siya doon, he stayed in a cave. At masdan, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa kanya, at sinabi sa kanya, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

19:11 At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake.

19:12 And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze.

19:13 And when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. At masdan, there was a voice to him, kasabihan: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” At tumugon siya

mga Romano 9: 1-5

9:1 Ako ay nagsasalita ng katotohanan kay Kristo; hindi ako nagsisinungaling. Ang aking budhi ay nagbibigay ng patotoo sa akin sa Banal na Espiritu,

9:2 dahil ang kalungkutan sa loob ko ay malaki, at may patuloy na kalungkutan sa aking puso.

9:3 Sapagka't aking ninanais na ako mismo ay masumpa kay Cristo, para sa kapakanan ng mga kapatid ko, na aking mga kamag-anak ayon sa laman.

9:4 Ito ang mga Israelita, kung kanino ang pag-aampon bilang mga anak, at ang kaluwalhatian at ang tipan, at ang pagbibigay at pagsunod sa batas, at ang mga pangako.

9:5 Sa kanila ang mga ama, at mula sa kanila, ayon sa laman, ay ang Kristo, na siyang nasa ibabaw ng lahat ng bagay, pinagpala ang Diyos, para sa lahat ng walang hanggan. Amen.

Ebanghelyo

Mateo 14: 22-33

14:22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.

14:23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.

14:24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.

14:25 Pagkatapos, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.

14:26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, kasabihan: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.

14:27 At kaagad, Jesus spoke to them, kasabihan: “Have faith. Ako ito. Do not be afraid.”

14:28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Panginoon, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters.”

14:29 At sinabi niya, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.

14:30 Gayunpaman tunay, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, kasabihan: “Panginoon, save me.”

14:31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. At sinabi niya sa kanya, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”

14:32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.

14:33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, kasabihan: “Talaga, you are the Son of God.”
