2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

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.
