Gospel : Mark 11:27-33
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John?was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 If we should say, 'From men'"?they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 They answered Jesus, "We don't know."
Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

Sirach 51:12cd-20
12cd Therefore will I give thanks and praise to you,
And bless the name of the Lord.
13 When I was yet young,
Or ever I went abroad,
I sought wisdom openly in my prayer.
14 Before the temple I asked for her,
And I will seek her out even to the end.
15 From her flower as from the ripening grape my heart delighted in her:
My foot trod in uprightness,
From my youth I tracked her out.
16 I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her,
And found for myself much instruction.
17 I profited in her:
To him that gives me wisdom I will give glory.
18 For I purposed to practise her,
And I was zealous for that which is good;
And I shall never be put to shame.
19 My soul has wrestled in her,
And in my doing I was exact:
I spread forth my hands to the heaven above,
And bewailed my ignorances of her.
20 I set my soul aright to her,
And in pureness I found her.
I got me a heart joined with her from the beginning:
Therefore shall I not be forsaken.
