What it is
This is the World English Bible, a modern translation in the public domain, shown word for word. It uses the 66-book Protestant canon, so it does not include the deuterocanonical books that Catholic and Orthodox Bibles contain, and it cannot serve a lectionary that uses them. Its weekly readings follow the Western church year, so in most years the Lent and Easter dates differ from the Orthodox calendar.
