Readings for the day · Pentecost Season · All Four Lectionaries
The readings for June 24, 2026, in all four lectionaries
Roman Catholic keeps Nativity of St John the Baptist: Vigil. Revised Common, LSB Three-Year and Historic One-Year appoint no readings for this date. There is nothing to compare on this date: it belongs to the Roman Catholic calendar alone.
| Reading | Roman CatholicNativity of St John the Baptist: VigilYear A · Jun 24also Nativity of St John the Baptist: Mass |
|---|---|
| GospelOne only | Luke 1:5-17 |
| Epistle / Second ReadingOne only | 1 Peter 1:8-12 |
| Old Testament / First ReadingOne only | Jeremiah 1:4-10 |
| PsalmOne only | Psalm 71:1-2, 3-4a, 5-6ab, 15ab+17 (6b) |
More than one service is appointed on this date. The table shows the first of each tradition’s; the others are linked under the column they belong to.
Revised Common Lectionary and LSB Three-Year Lectionary and Historic One-Year Lectionary appoint no readings for this date, so they have no column above.
A permanent page for this day, which will still show these readings whenever it comes round again: lectionary.com/compare/year-a/john-the-baptist.
Every citation above opens its own page: the passage, verse-by-verse commentary, background and word study, the Church Fathers, and worship resources. An “or” line is the second track a lectionary offers for the same day, not a different Sunday. Agreement is judged by chapter, because the four rarely cut a passage to the same length.
