This Week · Pentecost Season · All Four Lectionaries

This week’s readings in all four lectionaries

Roman Catholic keeps Transfiguration of the Lord. 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.

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 August 6, 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.
