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