An Oops

Altar Book: Epistle for chief service on Good Friday is Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:7-9

Lectionary: Epistle for chief service on Good Friday is 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

An assorted link.

It's neither. The "Epistle" is one of the rare times when it's actually an OT passage, IS 52;13 - 53:12

Rome uses -- or at least used -- two Lessons each followed by a Tract.

Osee 6:1-6; Hab 3.
Ex 12:1-11; Ps 139: 2-10,14.

The second is sung by the subdeacon in the Epistle tone.

Terry,

That Epistle from Isaiah is still in place as the first reading. LSB does this also at Christmas Eve, when the Isaiah reading that used to be the "epistle" is the first reading.

I noticed that yesterday too. What's worse is that in the Historic Lectionary book, the Hebrews lesson isn't included.

Well, I like St Jerome's two reading pattern derived from the Torah/Haftorah of the synagogue. THAT'S the "historic" lectionary!
