Book of Common Prayer
21 I speak in-accordance-with my dishonor[a]— how that we have been weak! But in whatever anyone may dare to boast— I am speaking in foolishness— I also dare. 22 Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also. 23 Are they servants of Christ? I speak being distraught[b], I more— in far-more labors, in far-more prisons, in many-more beatings, in deaths[c] often.
But I Will Boast In The Things Pertaining To My Weakness
24 By Jews five-times I received forty lashes less one. 25 Three-times I was beaten-with-rods. Once I was stoned. Three-times I was shipwrecked. I have done a night-and-day in the deep. 26 On journeys often— in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my nation[d], in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false-brothers. 27 In labor and hardship, in watchings[e] often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Apart from the external[f] things, there is the daily pressure[g] on me, the concern for all the churches— 29 who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused-to-fall, and I do not burn[h]? 30 If it-is-necessary[i] to boast, I will boast the things of my weakness! 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, the One being blessed[j] forever, knows that I am not lying.
Jesus Calms The Wind And Sea. The Disciples Say, Who Is This Man?
35 And on that day, having become evening, He says to them, “Let us go to the other side”. 36 And having left the crowd, they take Him along as He was[a], in the boat. And other boats were with Him. 37 And a great storm of wind takes place. And the waves were throwing-over into the boat so that the boat was already being filled. 38 And He was in the stern on the cushion, sleeping. And they wake Him and say to Him, “Teacher, do You not care[b] that we are perishing?” 39 And having awakened, He rebuked the wind, and said to the sea “Be still, be silenced[c]”. And the wind stopped. And there was a great calm. 40 And He said to them, “Why are you afraid[d]? Do you not yet have faith?” 41 And they feared a great fear[e]. And they were saying to one another, “Who then is this One, that[f] even[g] the wind and the sea obey Him?”
