Revelation 10: 8-11
He said to me, "Take and swallow it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey." I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and swallowed it. In my mouth it was like sweet honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then someone said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.

R. How sweet to my taste is your promise!
In the way of your decrees I rejoice, as much as in all riches.

Gospel According to Luke 19: 45-48
Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out
those who were selling things, saying to them,
"It is written,
My house shall be a house of prayer,
but you have made it a den of thieves."
And every day he was teaching in the temple area.
The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,
were seeking to put him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose
because all the people were hanging on his words.
