First ReadingNumbers 24:2-7, 15-17a

From the Book of Numbers

2Balaam lifted up his eyes,and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes;and the Spirit of God came on him.3He took up his parable, and said,

“Balaam the son of Beor says,the man whose eyes are open says;4he says, who hears the words of God,who sees the vision of the Almighty,falling down, and having his eyes open:5How goodly are your tents, Jacob,and your dwellings, Israel!6As valleys they are spread out,as gardens by the riverside,as aloes which the Lord has planted,as cedar trees beside the waters.7Water shall flow from his buckets.His seed shall be in many waters.His king shall be higher than Agag.His kingdom shall be exalted.

verses 8–14 are not read15He took up his parable, and said,

“Balaam the son of Beor says,the man whose eyes are open says;16he says, who hears the words of God,knows the knowledge of the Most High,and who sees the vision of the Almighty,falling down, and having his eyes open:17I see him, but not now.I see him, but not near.A star will come out of Jacob.A scepter will rise out of Israel,and shall strike through the corners of Moab,and crush all the sons of Sheth.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 25:4-5ab, 6 and 7bc, 8-9

4Show me your ways, Lord.Teach me your paths.5Guide me in your truth, and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation.I wait for you all day long.

6Lord, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,for they are from old times.7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.Remember me according to your loving kindness,for your goodness’ sake, Lord.

8Good and upright is the Lord,therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.9He will guide the humble in justice.He will teach the humble his way.

GospelMatthew 21:23-27

From the Gospel according to Matthew

23When he had come into the temple,the chief priestsand the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching,and said, “By what authority do you do these things?Who gave you this authority?”

24Jesus answered them,“I also will ask you one question,which if you tell me,I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.25The baptism of John, where was it from?From heaven or from men?”

They reasoned with themselves,saying, “If we say,‘From heaven,’ he will ask us,‘Why then did you not believe him?’26But if we say, ‘From men,’we fear the multitude,for all hold John as a prophet.”27They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.”

He also said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joann 1:19-28

In illo tempore: Misérunt Judǽi ab Jerosólymis sacerdótes et levítas ad Joánnem, ut interrogárent eum: Tu quis es? Et conféssus est, et non negávit: et conféssus est: Quia non sum ego Christus. Et interrogavérunt eum: Quid ergo? Elías es tu? Et dixit: Non sum. Prophéta es tu? Et respondit: Non. Dixérunt ergo ei: Quis es, ut respónsum demus his, qui misérunt nos? Quid dicis de te ipso? Ait: Ego vox clamántis in desérto: Dirígite viam Dómini, sicut dixit Isaías Prophéta. Et qui missi fúerant, erant ex pharisǽis. Et interrogavérunt eum, et dixérunt ei: Quid ergo baptízas, si tu non es Christus, neque Elías, neque Prophéta? Respóndit eis Joánnes, dicens: Ego baptízo in aqua: médius autem vestrum stetit, quem vos nescítis. Ipse est, qui post me ventúrus est, qui ante me factus est: cujus ego non sum dignus ut solvam ejus corrígiam calceaménti. Hæc in Bethánia facta sunt trans Jordánem, ubi erat Joánnes baptízans.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 1:19-28

At that time, the Jews sent to John from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who are you? And he acknowledged and did not deny; and he acknowledged, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elias? And he said, I am not. Are you the Prophet? And he answered, No. They therefore said to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What have you to say of yourself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as said Isaias the prophet. And they who had been sent were from among the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him, Why, then, do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the Prophet? John said to them in answer, I baptize with water; but in the midst of you there has stood One Whom you do not know. He it is Who is to come after me, Who has been set above me, the strap of Whose sandal I am not worthy to loose. These things took place at Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
