INTRODUCTION

We have endeavored to provide clergy and laity with the scripture readings read during the

divine services throughout the year. Both the author, chapters & verses of the readings as well as

where they can be found in the book of the Epistles and the liturgical Gospel are included. The

Old Testament readings read during Vespers for the Nativity of Christ, Theophany and the divine

services throughout the Triodion are included, but those read during Vespers for Vigil-rank and

Poyeleos-rank saints are not included - the Old Testament pericopes are according to the

Septuagint numberings.

The ordering of the Epistle and Gospel readings in this volume is based on the ordinances

contained in the TYPICON of George Regas (ΤΥΠΙΚΟΝ Οἰκονόμου Γεωργίου Ρήγα 1908

ἔκδοσις «Πατριαρχικοῦ Ἱδρύματος Πατερικῶν Μελετῶν» Θεσσαλονίκη 1994) on pgs

123-126, which are as follows:

Part 1: General Ordinances

Chapter 7: The Divine Liturgy

§ 9: The Epistle and Gospel of the Liturgy

“In the Divine Liturgy the Epistle reading is read by the reader and the Gospel reading is read by

the deacon if there is one; if not, then by the priest. The reader says the Epistle from the middle

of the church facing east, and the deacon says the Gospel from the ambo, but if the priest says

the Gospel, he says it from the Holy Doors facing west.

Whenever two Epistles are appointed, the one is said, and then after it is finished, in continuation

the second is attached; thus after the Epistle of the 2nd Saturday of the Fast, the reader attaches

also the reading for the reposed straightway, saying: “But I would not have you to be ignorant...”

etc. Similarly, when two Gospels are appointed, the second is read after the end of the first in

continuation. For example, the Gospel reading for the Theotokos is attached to a particular

Gospel reading thus: “And Mary arose...”etc.

The weekly order of the Epistle and Gospel readings are as follows:

a) The daily readings of the Epistle are read each week according to the following order: From

Pascha until the Sunday of Pentecost, the Acts of the Apostles; from the Monday of the Holy

Spirit until Great Saturday, the Epistles of Paul and the rest. The Sunday readings are read in

order, from the Sunday of Pascha until the Sunday of the Forefathers. From the Sunday after

Theophany until the commencement of the Triodion they follow the order of the Gospel readings

as defined below. The daily Epistle readings are read in order, until they are finished, until the

Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee. When the thirty-three weeks are finished, and there are no

more Epistle readings until the commencement of the Triodion, read the daily Epistles thus:

If one week of Epistle readings is missing, read those of the 16th week.

If two weeks are missing, read those of the 15th and 16th weeks.

If three weeks are missing, read those of the 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks.

If four weeks are missing, read those of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks.

2

If five weeks are missing, read those of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks.

If six weeks are missing, read those of the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks.

If seven weeks are missing, read those of the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks.

b) The Gospel readings are read in order each week according to the following order: a) From the

Sunday of Pascha until Pentecost the Gospel readings are from the Gospel according to John. b)

From the Monday of the Holy Spirit until the Sunday after the Exaltation of the Cross the Gospel

readings are from the Gospel according to Matthew. c) From the Monday after the Sunday after

the Exaltation of the Cross until Cheese-Fare Sunday, the Gospel readings are from the Gospel

according to Luke. 4) During the Great Fast on Saturdays and Sundays the Gospel readings are

from the Gospel according to Mark.

c) The Gospel readings are read in order, except the Sunday readings according to Luke which leap.

But when the Sundays of Luke leap to another week, the weekday Gospel readings do not leap,

only the Sunday readings leap; the weekday readings remain in their order. When the weekday

Gospel readings of Luke are finished and we have not yet reached the Triodion, read the Gospel

readings for the after-feasts of Theophany; and if these also are finished and Gospel readings are

needed until the commencement of the Triodion, go to the Gospel readings according to

Matthew and read as many weekday readings as are needed until the commencement of the

Triodion. From the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee, read the Gospel readings for Sundays

and weekdays in continuation. The Gospel readings from the completion of Luke until the

commencement of the Triodion of the daily Gospel readings according to Matthew are these:

If one week of Gospel readings is missing, read those of the 16th week of Matthew.

If two weeks are missing, read those of the 15th and 16th weeks of Matthew.

If three weeks are missing, read those of the 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks of Matthew.

If four weeks are missing, read those of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks of Matthew.

If five weeks are missing, read those of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks of Matthew.

If six weeks are missing, read those of the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th weeks of Matthew.

d) The 17th Sunday of Matthew is only read in the order of Gospel readings according to Matthew

when Pascha falls on March 22nd. When Pascha falls from the April 15th until the 25th, it is

omitted from the order of Gospel readings according to Matthew, and read before the Sunday of

the Publican and Pharisee. When Pascha falls from March 23rd until April 14th, it is omitted

altogether.

e) If Pascha falls on March 22nd, 23rd or 24th, the Sunday after Theophany does not happen, because

the first Sunday after Theophany is the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee; in this instance the

Epistle and Gospel readings are read on January 7th before the readings for St. John the Baptist.

If Pascha falls on March 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st and in a leap-year on March 24th

there is only the Sunday after Theophany, and after it the Triodion commences.

If Pascha falls from April 1st to the 7th or in a leap-year on March 31st, after the Sunday after

Theophany, there is only one Sunday until the commencement of the Triodion. The readings are

as follows:

Epistle: 32nd Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 15th Sunday of Luke (Zacchaeus)

3

If Pascha falls from April 8th to the 14th or in a leap-year on April 7th, after the Sunday after

Theophany, there are two Sundays until the commencement of the Triodion. The readings are as

follows:

On the 1st Sunday - Epistle: 29th Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 12th Sunday of Luke (10

Lepers)

On the 2nd Sunday - Epistle: 32nd Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 15th Sunday of Luke

(Zacchaeus)

If Pascha falls from April 15th to the 21th or in a leap-year on April 14th, after the Sunday after

Theophany, there are three Sundays until the commencement of the Triodion. The readings are

as follows:

On the 1st Sunday - Epistle: 29th Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 12th Sunday of Luke (10

Lepers)

On the 2nd Sunday - Epistle: 32nd Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 15th Sunday of Luke

(Zacchaeus)

On the 3rd Sunday - Epistle: 17th Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 17th Sunday of Matthew (The

Canaanite Woman)

If Pascha falls from April 22nd to the 25th or in a leap-year on April 21st, after the Sunday after

Theophany, there are four Sundays until the commencement of the Triodion. The readings are as

follows:

On the 1st Sunday - Epistle: 29th Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 12th Sunday of Luke (10

Lepers)

On the 2nd Sunday - Epistle: 31st Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 14th Sunday of Luke

On the 3rd Sunday - Epistle: 32nd Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 15th Sunday of Luke

(Zacchaeus)

On the 4th Sunday - Epistle: 17th Sunday after Pentecost, Gospel: 17th Sunday of Matthew (The

Canaanite Woman)

f) Note: Of the leaping Sundays of Luke, the 4th is said on the Sunday of the Holy Fathers: the

Sunday which falls from October 11th to the 17th, the 5th Sunday of Luke is said on the Sunday

which falls from October 30th to November 5th, and the 11th Sunday of Luke is said on the

Sunday of the Forefathers: the Sunday which falls from December 11th to the 17th.

g) In addition to the Epistle and Gospel readings of the day, there are also other readings for each

feast or the memory of a saint, and also for certain Sundays, pre-feasts, and after-feasts. These

readings are found in the menologion. They are read, attached to the Epistle and Gospel readings

as indicated above.” On the Sunday which falls from July 13th to the 19th the Epistle and Gospel

are read for the Holy Fathers of the Fourth Œcumenical Council.

Notes

• Regarding the presence of multiple readings: We have not mandated how many readings

should be read at each Divine Liturgy, rather we have provided a comprehensive listing of all

possible readings for each day. The Typicon of the Great Church of Christ (1888) prescribes only

one Epistle and one Gospel to be read at each Divine Liturgy. Please see the “Pocket Calendar -

2014” for the Sunday readings according to this typicon.

• On Great feasts (Feasts of the Master and Feasts of the Mother of God), Vigil-rank feasts,

the Royal Hours of the Nativity of Christ and Theophany, the daily Epistle and Gospel readings

are not read together with the readings of the feast, they are transferred to the nearest day feasible

and are read together with that day’s daily readings. This ordinance does not apply to Sundays.

They are as follows:

Feasts of the Master: Exaltation of the Cross (Sep. 14th) Nativity of Christ (Dec. 25th) Theophany

(Jan. 6th) Transfiguration (Aug. 6th)

Feasts of the Mother of God: Nativity (Sep. 8th) Entrance (Nov. 21st) Presentation (Feb. 2nd)

Annunciation (March 25th) Dormition (Aug. 15th)

Vigil-rank feasts: The Assumption of St. John the Theologian (Sep. 26th) St. John Chrysostom

(Nov. 13th) St. Sabbas the Sanctified (Dec. 5th) St. Nicholas of Myra (Dec. 6th) St. Anthony the

Great (Jan. 17th) St. Euthymios the Great (Jan. 20th) St. Gregory the Theologian (Jan. 25th) The

Three Hierarchs (Jan. 30th)

• When the eve of the Nativity of Christ (Dec. 24th) and the eve of Theophany (Jan.5th) fall

on Saturday or Sunday, the Royal Hours are chanted on the previous Friday.

• If there are two Sundays between Nativity and Theophany:

1st Sunday: Epistle and Gospel for the Sunday after the Nativity

2nd Sunday: Epistle and Gospel for the Sunday before Theophany

• If there is only one Saturday and one Sunday between Nativity and Theophany:

On Saturday: Epistle and Gospel of the Saturday after Nativity

On Sunday: Epistle and Gospel of the Sunday before Theophany

• When the 1st & 2nd findings of the head of St. John the Baptist (Feb. 24th) and the 3rd

finding of the head of St John the Baptist (May 25th) fall on the Saturday of the Souls, the service

for the finding of the head of St. John the Baptist is chanted on the previous day: Friday.
