This Week · Epiphany Season · All Four Lectionaries
This week’s readings in all four lectionaries
Revised Common and LSB Three-Year keep Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany; Roman Catholic keeps Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Historic One-Year appoints no readings for this date. All three agree on the Gospel, the Epistle and the Old Testament.

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