Psalm 25:3-8
New International Version
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,(A)
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous(B) without cause.
4 Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.(C)
5 Guide me in your truth(D) and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,(E)
and my hope is in you(F) all day long.
6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,(G)
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(H)
and my rebellious ways;(I)
according to your love(J) remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.(K)
Numbers 24:2-7

2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him(A) 3 and he spoke his message:
“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,(B)
4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,(C)
who sees a vision from the Almighty,[a](D)
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 “How beautiful are your tents,(E) Jacob,
your dwelling places, Israel!

New International Version
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority(B) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(C)
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
