Isaiah in the Daily Office Lectionary

The Daily Office Lectionary appoints Isaiah 110 times in its two-year course and 22 times on Holy Days. The course reads 48 of its 66 chapters, 23 of them in full.

Chapter by chapter

  • Year One reads chapters 1–13, 19, 24–26, 28–30, 33, 35, 40–52, 54–66 during Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, and the Season after Pentecost, at Morning and Evening Prayer.
  • Year Two reads chapters 4, 45, 49, 51, 55, 59, 61–62, 65–66 during Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and Easter, at Morning and Evening Prayer.
Isaiah chapters: both years 4, 45, 49, 51, 55, 59, 61–62, 65–66; Year One only 1–3, 5–13, 19, 24–26, 28–30, 33, 35, 40–44, 46–48, 50, 52, 54, 56–58, 60, 63–64; not in the two-year course 14–18, 20–23, 27, 31–32, 34, 36–39, 53; in part 3–5, 10, 13, 19, 24–26, 28–30, 33, 40, 42, 48–49, 52, 54, 56–58, 60, 64, 66.
  • Year One only
  • Year Two only
  • Both years
  • Half filled: only part of the chapter
  • Not in the two-year course

When both offices have two lessons, “the Old Testament Reading for the alternate year is used as the First Reading at Evening Prayer” (BCP p. 934). This site and the app follow that rubric, so most of these lessons are heard twice: at Morning Prayer in the year listed, and at Evening Prayer on the same day in the other year.
