This Week · Trinity/After Pentecost · All Four Lectionaries

This week’s readings in all four lectionaries

Historic One-Year keeps The Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity. Revised Common, Roman Catholic and LSB Three-Year appoint no readings for this date. There is nothing to compare on this date: it belongs to the Historic One-Year calendar alone.

Revised Common Lectionary and Roman Catholic Lectionary and LSB Three-Year Lectionary appoint no readings for this date, so they have no column above.

This page is permanent: it shows the same readings every time this day comes round. In the current year it falls on October 25, 2026.

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. This page always shows the current week and updates each Sunday.
