This Week · Pentecost Season · All Four Lectionaries
This week’s readings in all four lectionaries
Roman Catholic keeps Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: Day Mass. 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 CatholicSaints Peter and Paul, Apostles: Day MassYear A · Jun 29also Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: Vigil |
|---|---|
| GospelOne only | Matthew 16:13-19 |
| Epistle / Second ReadingOne only | 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18 |
| Old Testament / First ReadingOne only | Acts 12:1-11 |
| PsalmOne only | Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 (5b) |
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.
This page is permanent: it shows the same readings every time this day comes round. In the current year it falls on June 29, 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.
