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

LSB Three-Year Lectionary and Historic One-Year Lectionary appoint no readings for this date, so they have 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.
