BIBLE READINGS FOR THE WEEK - click links for full text of readings for that day

Sunday August 13th 2023 , Pentecost 11 (Proper 19)  Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 and Psalm 105: 1-6, 16-22, 45b  •  Romans 10:5-15  •  Matthew 14:22-33

"After Pentecost during Ordinary Time, there are two sets of Hebrew Bible readings. One set progresses semi-continuously through the Patriarchal/Exodus narratives (Year A), the Monarchial narratives (Year B), and the Prophets (Year C). The other set is related thematically, or is complementary, to the gospel lections for those dates. The Hebrew Bible lections during the rest of the year are thematically related to the gospel lections, which are in turn connected to the seasons of the Church Year. Additional readings are provided for special feast days." Daily readings below are from the Complementary thread, related to the weekly Sunday Gospel lection and sermon. Source
