Reading 1
Beloved,
remember the words spoken beforehand
by the
Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Build
yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit.
Keep
yourselves in the love of God
and wait
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
that
leads to eternal life.
On
those who waver, have mercy;
save
others by snatching them out of the fire;
on others
have mercy with fear,
abhorring
even the outer garment stained by the flesh.
To
the one who is able to keep you from stumbling
and to
present you unblemished and exultant,
in the
presence of his glory,
to the
only God, our savior,
through
Jesus Christ our Lord
be glory,
majesty, power, and authority
from ages past, now, and for ages to come. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm
R.
(2b) My
soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O
God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you
my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the
earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
R.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus
have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see
your power and your glory,
For
your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips
shall glorify you.
R.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus
will I bless you while I live;
lifting
up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As
with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with
exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
R.
My soul is thirsting
for you, O Lord my God.
Gospel
Jesus
and his disciples returned once more to Jerusalem.
As
he was walking in the temple area,
the chief
priests, the scribes, and the elders
approached
him and said to him,
“By
what authority are you doing these things?
Or
who gave you this authority to do them?”
Jesus
said to them, “I shall ask you one question.
Answer
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Was
John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.”
They
discussed this among themselves and said,
“If
we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say,
‘Then
why did you not believe him?’
But
shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?”–
they
feared the crowd,
for they
all thought John really was a prophet.
So
they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.”
Then
Jesus said to them,
“Neither shall I tell you by
what authority I do these things.”
