Epiphany 8

Preaching Luke's Gospel
A Narrative Approach
We note first of all that this week's text is doubly appointed for the Lukan year. When there is an Eighth Sunday after the Epiphany in the Church's Year, Proper 3 will be omitted. In the Revised Common Lectionary the first several Sundays after Pentecost may or may not be used depending upon the date of Pentecost. Older lectionaries typically omitted selections from the last Sundays of the Church Year.
