Readings - Sunday, 4 June 2023 – Holy Trinity, First Sunday after Pentecost, Year A.

Note re the Second Reading: Do not omit verse 14 if the translation you are using includes it. Verse 14 is in brackets simply because the numbering of the verses in chapter 13 differs from translation to translation. The NRSV and TEV versions end with verse 13 and the NIV and KJV end with verse 14. The reading is intended to go to the very end of the chapter, as the final verse contains the focal theme for this day.)
