Book of Common Prayer

¹⁴ For this I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ who is Father over all that is called father in heaven and in earth. ¹⁶ I pray that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷ and that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, so that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is that breadth and length, depth and height, ¹⁹ and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passes knowledge; that you might be filled with every kind of fullness that comes of God.

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think by the power that works in us, ²¹ be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ throughout all generations, world without end.

Amen.

¹⁸ When Jesus saw crowds of people around him, he directed to go over the water. ¹⁹ And a scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. ²⁰ And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head. ²¹ Another, who was one of his disciples, said to him, Master, first allow me to go and bury my father. ²² But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.

²³ And he entered into a boat, and his disciples followed him. ²⁴ And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the vessel was swamped with waves. And he was asleep. ²⁵ And his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, save us! We perish! ²⁶ And he said to them, Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there followed a great calm. ²⁷ And the men marvelled and said, What man is this, that both winds and sea obey him?
