Acts 28:11-16, 30-31
(11) And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island (12) And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days (13) From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli (14) There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome (15) And there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he took courage (16) And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him (30) Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him (31) preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition
Psalms 98:1-6
(1) A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved (2) The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples (3) May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy (4) And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob (5) Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy (6) Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them
Matthew 14:22-33
(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 (23) And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there (24) But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them (25) Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea (26) And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear (27) And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid. (28) Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters. (29) And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus (30) Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me. (31) And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt? (32) And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased (33) Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.
