First Reading:Â Sirach 51:Â 12cd-20
12cd Therefore I will give thanks, and praise thee, and bless the name of the Lord.
13 When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer.
14Â I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe.
15Â My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her.
16Â I bowed down my ear a little, and received her.
17Â I found much wisdom in myself, and I profited much therein. To him that giveth me wisdom, will I give glory.
18Â For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded.
19Â My soul hath wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed. I stretched forth my hands on high, and I bewailed my ignorance of her.
20Â I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her. I possessed my heart with her from the beginning: therefore I shall not be forsaken.

Gospel:Â Mark 11:Â 27-33
27Â And 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,
28Â And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?
29Â And 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.
30Â The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31Â But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
32Â If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.
33Â And 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.
