Reading 1
As
the number of disciples continued to grow,
the
Hellenists complained against the Hebrews
because
their widows
were
being neglected in the daily distribution.
So
the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said,
“It
is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table.
Brothers,
select from among you seven reputable men,
filled
with the Spirit and wisdom,
whom we
shall appoint to this task,
whereas
we shall devote ourselves to prayer
and to
the ministry of the word.”
The
proposal was acceptable to the whole community,
so they
chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit,
also
Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor,
Timon, Parmenas,
and
Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
They
presented these men to the Apostles
who
prayed and laid hands on them.
The
word of God continued to spread,
and the
number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly;
even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to
the faith.

Gospel
When
it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea,
embarked
in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum.
It
had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
The sea
was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
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.
