Readings for the day · Pentecost Season · All Four Lectionaries
The readings for November 26, 2026, in all four lectionaries
Revised Common and Roman Catholic keep Thanksgiving Day USA; LSB Three-Year keeps Thanksgiving Day (USA). Historic One-Year appoints no readings for this date. All three agree on the Gospel.

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.
Historic One-Year Lectionary appoints no readings for this date, so it has no column above.
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.
