Why doesn't my lectionary match up with one I see online?
I have a basic question about using the Revised Common Lectionary. Say I'm looking at today's entry in the RCL. They list two different options (Ps 65:1-8, 9-13; Is 52:1-6, Jn 12:44-50 or Ps 119:105-112, Is 2:1-4, Jn 12:44-50). Yet when I look at a couple of devotionals based on the RCL, they don't seem to draw from these passages. For reference, I'm using the textweek.com site.

For example, Emmock's blog points instead to Matthew 24:32-51 for reflection. http://emmock.com/2014/07/12/bible-blog-1371/
Is my problem that I'm on a different year A? If so, how would I align the proper year?

Not the RCL but the BCP daily lectionary.

Emmock is under the "other lectionaries" section - he is commenting on the Book of Common Prayer Readings rather than the Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

But Dan, he explicitly says he's drawing from the Common Lectionary. Is this common parlance for the BCP? And on the Text Week site, they explicitly point to this blog as one using the RCL. What made it even worse was that each of the other sites they pointed to using the RCL all drew from the passages in Matthew. It just seemed strange.
But thanks for finding the likely culprit!

MJ, even those in the Daily RCL section seem to commenting on the Matthew (BCP) passage rather than one in John (RCL). What am I missing?

Common as in common to the BCP / LBW / BAS but usually referred to in each book as the two year daily lectionary. The is also a Daily Lectionary based on the RCL but I do not care for it as much as the 2 year BCP/LBW/BAS. Why he would refers to it as Common lectionary I am not sure.

Thanks, MJ! Sorry, not sure what happened to my eyes. Maybe I looked at the Sunday entries by mistake.

If Logos were to expand their lectionary collections to include all that we have in ritual books including morning & evening prayer the Lectionary Section of the Passage Guide would make it easy to trace where a reading came from:
