First Reading –\u00a0Jer 18<\/span><\/h4>\n

The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem said,
\n“Come, let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah.
\nIt will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests,
\nnor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets.
\nAnd so, let us destroy him by his own tongue;
\nlet us carefully note his every word.”<\/p>\n

Heed me, O LORD,
\nand listen to what my adversaries say.
\nMust good be repaid with evil
\nthat they should dig a pit to take my life?
\nRemember that I stood before you
\nto speak in their behalf,
\nto turn away your wrath from them.<\/p>\n

Gospel -Mt 20<\/span><\/p>\n

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem,
\nhe took the Twelve disciples aside by themselves,
\nand said to them on the way,
\n“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem,
\nand the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests
\nand the scribes,
\nand they will condemn him to death,
\nand hand him over to the Gentiles
\nto be mocked and scourged and crucified,
\nand he will be raised on the third day.”<\/p>\n

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons
\nand did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.
\nHe said to her, “What do you wish?”
\nShe answered him,
\n“Command that these two sons of mine sit,
\none at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
\nJesus said in reply,
\n“You do not know what you are asking.
\nCan you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?”
\nThey said to him, “We can.”
\nHe replied,
\n“My chalice you will indeed drink,
\nbut to sit at my right and at my left,
\nthis is not mine to give
\nbut is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
\nWhen the ten heard this,
\nthey became indignant at the two brothers.
\nBut Jesus summoned them and said,
\n“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
\nand the great ones make their authority over them felt.
\nBut it shall not be so among you.
\nRather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;
\nwhoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.
\nJust so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
\nand to give his life as a ransom for many.”<\/p>\n
