This Week · Holy Week · All Four Lectionaries
This week’s readings in all four lectionaries
Revised Common keeps Holy Saturday. Roman Catholic, 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 Revised Common calendar alone.
| Reading | Revised CommonHoly SaturdayYear B · Mar 27 |
|---|---|
| GospelOne only | Matthew 27:57-66 or John 19:38-42 |
| Epistle / Second ReadingOne only | 1 Peter 4:1-8 |
| Old Testament / First ReadingOne only | Job 14:1-14 or Lamentations 3:1-9, 19-24 |
| PsalmOne only | Psalm 31:1-4, 15-16 |
Roman Catholic 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 March 27, 2027.
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.
