1262. God the Father: Let not one man amongst you be ignorant of My Justice

The Book of Truth:
Wednesday, November 5th, 2014, 13:30

 

My dearest daughter, love Me and know that I love and cherish all My children. Know too, however, that My Justice is to be feared. Let not one man amongst you be ignorant of My Justice, for it will be unleashed like a terrifying storm and it will sweep away the souls of those who refuse My Mercy.

My anger is unknown to many, but know this. If a man who knows Me, blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, I will never forgive him. Nothing can, nor will, change this fact, for such a man has chosen his own fate and there can be no reconciliation. To the man, who stands up before Me and justifies the taking of life, know that his own life will be taken by Me. If a man sells his soul to Satan, I cannot take it back, for he becomes one with the evil one. When a man, who speaks in the Name of My Son, Jesus Christ, destroys the souls of those who are Mine, he will be cast away by Me for eternity. Fear now My Wrath, for I will punish every soul who defies My Will to the end.

You must not fear the Second Coming of My Son, for this is a Gift. You must not fear, either, any suffering, which you may endure before that day, for this will be short-lived. Fear only for the souls of those I cannot save and who will not have any desire to save themselves. They are the souls who know I exist but who chose instead My enemy over Me.

I will intervene in many ways to save those who do not know Me at all. I will strip bare the souls of those who defy every Law I made and they will endure the pain of Hell, and Purgatory, on this earth. By this, they will become purified and they will be grateful to Me for showing them this Mercy now. Far better they endure this now than suffer for eternity in union with the evil one. You must never question My Ways, because all that I do is for the good of My children, so that they can be with Me for a life of Eternal Glory.

My punishment, to be cast upon man, pains Me. It breaks My Heart, but it is necessary. All this pain will be forgotten about and light will destroy darkness. Darkness will no longer cast its terrible curse upon My children. I tell you this for you are being led into a terrible darkness through the deceit of the devil. Unless I inform you of the consequences, you will have no future in My Paradise.

How quickly all memory of My Commandments has been forgotten. How quickly man falls from Grace when he fails to uphold My Word.

Your beloved Father, God the Most High”

My dearly beloved daughter, the Book of Revelation * has opened and each layer is being revealed to the world. …

 

The Bowls of God’s Wrath

16.1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and a foul and painful sore came on those who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing in the sea died.

The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say,

“You are just, O Holy One, who are and were,
    for you have judged these things;
because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,
    you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!” …”

True Life in God:
My Divinity Transforms You Love Will Come Back As Love

July 11, 1988  

(Rhodes)

(I have problems to be alone and write. Too many people around.)

O daughter, I, the Lord, love you; come, offer Me whatever you have, even your wickedness and I will transform it into good; I, the Lord, am Divine and anything offered to Me can be transformed by My Divinity; I purify every single deed; I can transform through My Purity everything; Vassula, retreat more often, come to Me even if it is for just a short while;

(Later:)

(I was asking Jesus what would be the first steps for the Roman Catholics and Orthodox to do to start uniting.)

I give you My Peace;

I offer you my will.

be still, and listen; offer Me your will and let My Sacred Heart leap with joy; delight this fervent Heart; offer Me your will, you are offering it to your Father who created you; come, I will answer you; your brothers1 will have to understand and believe that it is I, the Lord, who wishes to unite you; your brothers would have to believe that I am using you as My tablet to write down My desires; they will all have to be willing to come down from those high seats they have procreated for themselves;

My Church of old was pure, humble, and filled with love; My Church of today has been transformed to look like a legion of thrones; they will all have to descend from those high seats and follow the new commandment I have given them; I love My children and they have been driven away by those Cains; they have made a wilderness out of My House where thorns and briars only grow now; Vassula, the time is close at hand; My return is soon; Love will come back as Love; Love loves you;

seek not why I have chosen you to write down My Messages; understand only that I am glorified all the more for having chosen a nothing for this Message of Peace and Love; for the least you are, the greater I am; the lower you are the more inclined I am to bend over you and reach you; be absolutely nothing allowing thus My Spirit to breathe in you; efface yourself entirely so that I can only be seen; gratify Me, soul, by surrendering often, offering Me your will; you are surrendering to Love;

we? us?

Yes! Forever.”

….

There is a plan, at this time, to encourage millions to curtail the life of man – both life of the body and life of the soul. When you become a willing participant in an act, which defiles the sanctity of human life you will have no life – no Eternal Life – and salvation cannot, nor will it, be yours.

Your Jesus”

”  11-05

Prince Saint Imre

Or:
READING from the Book of Wisdom
The true value of life is given not by the long, but by the integrity of pure life.
Even if death is captured at a young age, a righteous person will receive full happiness. The value of human life is not given by
the long old age, nor is it measured by the number of years.  The spiritual wisdom of true gray hair: The impeccable pure life of true old age. God found him discouraged: he loved and took him from among the sinners whom he lived. He was robbed of them that wickedness should not impair his thinking, and falsity would not infect his spirit. The Dazzle of sinful life is blinded by not seeing the good; The dizzess of passion is the innocent soul. He died at a young age, yet he ran a whole career. His spirit was kind before God, and he hurted him out of the sinners. The people see this, but they do not understand, and in their hearts they do not feel a problem for the good and merciful saints of God and for the lives of his elect. The deceased is a true condemnation of the surviving wicked. He quickly became perfected in his youth as the Sinner’s life. They see the end of the wise, but they do not understand what the Lord has ordained of him, and why he has placed him in the security of the Lord.
It is the word of God.

Sage 4.7-15

PSALM
Answer: My lord, my God, * teach me as you like . (Verse 12b.-4. G)
Prevocalist: How to cleanse the path of the newlyweds? * By keeping your teaching.
I seek thee with all my heart, * let me not depart from your commands.
I invite you, Lord my God, * teach me as you like.
E: I have been in the depths of my heart, * lest I sin against thee.
Blessed, Lord my God, * teach me your truths.
H: My lord my God, * teach me as you like.
E: I will classify all your orders with my lips *.
Through your orders, I find greater joy * than in any richness.
H: My lord my God, * teach me as you like.
Zsolt 118, 9.10.11.12.13.14

Or:
HOLY LESSON from the Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans
God ordained us to embrace the image of his son.
Brethren!
We know that God’s lovers will have all their benefit, for he has chosen them from his own determination. Those who are known in advance have been ordained by the outset to embrace the image of his son. So he becomes his firstborn among the many brothers.
Those who had been ordained to do so were invited to whom he invited, and he made them righteous, whom he made righteous, and glorified them.
It is the word of God.
Romans 8,28-30

ALLELUJA
Praying in prayer is ceasing to stand before the son of man. Luke 21.36 – 8 G. Tint.

† From the Book of Saint Luke
Always be ready!
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let your hips be gird, and a lighted candle in your hands. Likin to the people who are waiting for their lord, as soon as they arrive at the wedding feast and Zall, open the door to him immediately.
Blessed are the servants who are found awake upon the arrival of their lord. Verily, I say unto you, he will girble himself, bring them to a table, go around, and serve them. And if you find them in the second or third Watch, the servants are happy.
Think about it: if you knew the host, which hour the thief would come from, would not allow him to break into his house. Wherefore, ye shall await the son of man vigilly, for he shall come in the hour when ye do not suppose. “
These are the verbs of the gospel.

Lk 12,35-40

Salutation

1.1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters[a] in Christ in Colossae:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

Paul Thanks God for the Colossians

In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God. This you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant.[b] He is a faithful minister of Christ on your[c] behalf, and he has made known to us your love in the Spirit.

For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s[d] will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+1%3A1-11&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and prudent manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. 45 But if that slave says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and if he begins to beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk, 46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces,[a] and put him with the unfaithful. 47 That slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will receive a severe beating. 48 But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.

Everything that God foretold will take place. All that He said would happen will happen.

The Book of Truth:


Monday, August 18th, 2014, 18:47
My dearly beloved daughter when God’s children witness strife in the world and terrible atrocities committed in the name of justice, then know this. For evil begets evil. Do onto others and the same will be done onto you. My Justice is inherent and while My Mercy is abundant, My Punishment, when it befalls upon ungrateful and wicked men, is to be feared.
I do not inflict harm upon any man, for this is not what comes from Me. But when evil is inflicted upon God’s children, and when wickedness spreads, I will pour out My Justice and let no man be in any doubt that these times are upon you. Wickedness is derived from sin. Souls who succumb to sin must always try to redeem themselves quickly in My Eyes. Otherwise, sin festers and should you doubt the stranglehold that Satan has over souls, who are filled with hatred and violence, then you must know it is extremely difficult to free such souls from his control.

Once Satan infests a soul, he will constantly torment that person until his mind, his deeds and his actions are in union with the evil one. The infested soul, eventually, becomes possessed and only I, Jesus Christ, can free that soul through exorcism. A soul can become possessed very quickly but it can take years to free it from the grip of the serpent. So, when My Punishment is felt it will be to eradicate evil and punish the perpetrators, who steal the lives of others. I will punish those who take away life of the body and life of the soul. No evil-doer will be invisible as My Eyes are all seeing.

So much you know of My Love. You are in no doubt as to how great My Mercy is.  But mortal man is unaware of the Wrath of God because this is not something you have been told about. God’s Anger is real. Do you believe that He would allow Satan to destroy His children and then sit back and watch? Did you believe that He would not punish the souls who yield to Satan’s every whim and desire? While good souls may perish, they will have life. While wicked souls may live, they will have no life.The world is on the cusp of great change, and everything that God foretold will take place. All that He said would happen will happen. And while I gave you the prophets to warn you, you still did not listen. You dismissed the many private revelations given to the world so that humanity would be prepared. Still you did not listen.

You must pray that the scale of destruction in the world be diluted, for were you to witness what lies in the future you would fall at My Feet begging for Mercy. Those who failed to keep the Word of God alive in My Churches on earth will be responsible for the loss of many millions of souls who would, otherwise, have been saved.

Shame on you who call Me your own when you proclaim part of the Truth on the one hand, and curse Me on the other. The pain and sorrow endured by Me because of sin, and the separation of man from his Creator, is coming to an end for My Time is now. In the final battle for souls know that as evil escalates, God’s punishment will be ten times that which is inflicted by wicked man upon his brothers and sisters.

Fear not My Love but My Justice.

Your Jesus”

True Life in God:

Lord, Father and Master of my life,
do not let temptation grip me to doubt;
there is in my heart a desire that,
blazing like a furnace,
cannot be quenched until it is slaked;
the desire of drawing souls to You,
but temptation grips me to doubt
that You have indeed opened my mouth
and raised me up in Your Courts;

I am your Fortitude; senseless little child, have you not understood? I am the One who fills you with My Knowledge; I am the Holy One who fills your heart with joy; it is I, your Father; never mind about your bewilderment; pray with your heart to Me; trust Me and allow yourself to be immersed in the Ocean of My Mercy; satisfy My thirst for souls;

Goodness and Mercy are a light to your feet; I have manifested My Love to you so that you understand Me; be like a loud book and speak, utter what I uttered to you; break the silence of death and quote My Words; make Me known to those who never sought Me, to reflect upon, that I Am who I Am, is their Bridegroom; this is a mystery defying not only the apostates but also all those who, although they preach My Word, have never met Me and do not know Me;

I, your Lord, Father, Bridegroom and Master of your life, bless you in Our Trinitarian Holiness; see? in My Name too, bless My people;”

Lectionary: 419

Reading 1 Jgs 2:11-19

The children of Israel offended the LORD by serving the Baals.
Abandoning the LORD, the God of their fathers,
who led them out of the land of Egypt,
they followed the other gods of the various nations around them,
and by their worship of these gods provoked the LORD.
Because they had thus abandoned him and served Baal and the Ashtaroth,
the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel,
and he delivered them over to plunderers who despoiled them.
He allowed them to fall into the power of their enemies round about
whom they were no longer able to withstand.
Whatever they undertook, the LORD turned into disaster for them,
as in his warning he had sworn he would do,
till they were in great distress.

Even when the LORD raised up judges to
deliver them
from the power of their despoilers,
they did not listen to their judges,
but abandoned themselves to the worship of other gods.
They were quick to stray from the way their fathers had taken,
and did not follow their example of obedience
to the commandments of the LORD.
Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, he would be with the judge
and save them from the power of their enemies
as long as the judge lived;
it was thus the LORD took
pity on their distressful cries
of affliction under their oppressors.
But when the judge died,
they would relapse and do worse than their ancestors,
following other gods in service and worship,
relinquishing none of their evil practices or stubborn conduct.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 106:34-35, 36-37, 39-40, 43ab and 44

R. (4a) Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
They did not exterminate the peoples,
as the LORD had commanded them,
But mingled with the nations
and learned their works.
R. Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
They served their idols,
which became a snare for them.
They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.
R. Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
They became defiled by their works,
and wanton in their crimes.
And the LORD grew angry with his people,
and abhorred his inheritance.
R. Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
Many times did he rescue them,
but they embittered him with their counsels.
Yet he had regard for their affliction
when he heard their cry.
R. Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.

Alleluia Mt 5:3

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are the poor in spirit;
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mt 19:16-22

A young man approached Jesus and said,
“Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?”
He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good?
There is only One who is good.
If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
He asked him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus replied, “You shall not kill;
you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal;
you shall not bear false witness;
honor your father and your mother;
and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

The young man said to him,
“All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?”
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go,
sell what you have and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad,
for he had many possessions.”

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have died[a] in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15:12-19&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

18 In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the side of the road, he went to it and found nothing at all on it but leaves. Then he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. 20 When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done. 22 Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.”

“… Virgin Mary – “We are going to fight fire with fire.”
She surprised me very much with Her words, because She paused and then continued :
Virgin Mary – “United to you, I will do such a miracle that the scientists of the world will vainly try to duplicate it; it will never be within reach. That, only the wisdom of pure souls loving God can understand it, for they possess God and his infinite secrets. Yes, My little one, we will fight fire with fire : the fire of hatred with the fire of Love! The fire of hatred of Satan raises its flames so high that he believes his victory already assured, but My Flame of Love will blind Satan. This Flame of Love, I committed it in your hands, and soon it will achieve its destiny, and the Flames which flash from My Love will put out the fire of hell. My Flame of Love will inundate the earth with an unimaginable brightness and a beneficial heat. My little one, for that I need sacrifices, your sacrifice and the sacrifices of all of you, so that minds and hearts, in whom burns the infernal hatred, receive the gentle light of My Flame of Love.””

Gospel Lk 12:49-53

Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!

There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it
is accomplished! 
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother,
a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.””

My God, I am praying that the churches will believe in Your Message!

Vassula, to believe in Me is a grace given by Me, 1

hear Me, Vassula: you will speak from My Mouth and will speak of the tribulations that My Church will undergo; this revelation is My Voice; recognise the Signs of the Times; accept My Message, taste My Message, eat My Message; woe for the unfaithful;

(Later on:)

little one, do you love Me?

I adore You endlessly, Lord.

yes, Vassula, love Me; make up for your past; make up for those who do not love Me; flower, every flower needs light knowing what effect it has on its petals; daughter, will you repent?

(I repented of my old sins and the present ones, as He was preparing me to receive Holy Communion.)

resent all these things from the depths of your soul; resent impurity2 for this was the vice of Sodom;”

Reading 1 Jer 38:4-6, 8-10

In those days, the princes said to the king:
“Jeremiah ought to be put to death;
he is demoralizing the soldiers who are left in this city,
and all the people, by speaking such things to them;
he is not interested in the welfare of our people,
but in their ruin.”
King Zedekiah answered: “He is in your power”;
for the king could do nothing with them.
And so they took Jeremiah
and threw him into the cistern of Prince Malchiah,
which was in the quarters of the guard,
letting him down with ropes.
There was no water in the cistern, only mud,
and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
Ebed-melech, a court official,
went there from the palace and said to him:
“My lord king,
these men have been at fault
in all they have done to the prophet Jeremiah,
casting him into the cistern.
He will die of famine on the spot,
for there is no more food in the city.”Then the king ordered Ebed-melech the Cushite
to take three men along with him,
and
draw the prophet Jeremiah out of the cistern before
he should die.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 40:2, 3, 4, 18

R. (14b)  Lord, come to my aid!
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
The LORD heard my cry.
He drew me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the mud of the swamp;
he set my feet upon a crag;
he made firm my steps.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
Many shall look on in awe
and trust in the LORD.
R. Lord, come to my aid!
Though I am afflicted and poor,
yet the LORD thinks of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, hold not back!
R. Lord, come to my aid!

Reading 2 Heb 12:1-4

Brothers and sisters:
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us
and persevere in running the race that lies before us
while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus,
the leader and perfecter of faith.
For the sake of the joy that lay before him
he endured the cross, despising its shame,
and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God.
Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners,
in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart.
In your struggle against sin
you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.

Alleluia Jn 10:27

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;
I know them, and they follow me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 12:49-53

Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it
is accomplished! 
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother,
a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.””

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Jesus and Thomas

24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin[a]), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”

26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”

The Purpose of This Book

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah,[c] the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.”

For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. 14 If what has been built on the foundation survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If the work is burned up, the builder will suffer loss; the builder will be saved, but only as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?[a] 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”

 

Jesus Walks on the Water

22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land,[a] for the wind was against them. 25 And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”

28 Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he noticed the strong wind,[b] he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
