A permanent page for this day, which will still show these readings whenever it comes round again: lectionary.com/compare/year-b/sunday-before-lent.
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.
