When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” [Jesus] said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” John 21: 15-19
Chodzę po wodzie :)
Gdy upłynęli około dwudziestu pięciu lub trzydziestu stadiów, ujrzeli Jezusa kroczącego po jeziorze i zbliżającego się do łodzi. I przestraszyli się. On zaś rzekł do nich: «To Ja jestem, nie bójcie się». Chcieli Go zabrać do łodzi, ale łódź znalazła się natychmiast przy brzegu, do którego zdążali. J 6, 19-21
Trust
When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid. But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.” They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading. John 6:19-21
Świat potrzebuje prawdziwych mężczyzn!
Pewien faryzeusz, imieniem Gamaliel, uczony w Prawie i poważany przez cały lud, kazał na chwilę usunąć apostołów i zabrał głos w Radzie: Więc i teraz wam mówię: Zostawcie tych ludzi i puśćcie ich! Jeżeli bowiem od ludzi pochodzi ta myśl czy sprawa, rozpadnie się, a jeżeli rzeczywiście od Boga pochodzi, nie potraficie ich zniszczyć, i oby się nie okazało, że walczycie z Bogiem». Usłuchali go. A przywoławszy apostołów, kazali ich ubiczować i zabronili im przemawiać w imię Jezusa, a potem zwolnili. A oni odchodzili sprzed Sanhedrynu i cieszyli się, że stali się godni cierpieć dla Imienia Jezusa. Nie przestawali też co dzień nauczać w świątyni i po domach i głosić Dobrą Nowinę o Jezusie Chrystusie. Dz 5, 34. 38-42
Love without fear
But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time, and said to them, So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.” They were persuaded by him. After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus. Akts 5: 34. 38-42
