Saturday of the 8th week of Ordinary Time

8The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

9The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

10The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

11More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

27And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients, 28And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? 29And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word, and answer you me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. 31But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. 33And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
