Where the Words Come From
The offices are from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church, which is in the public domain. So are the King James Version and Coverdale’s Psalter.
The Lessons are read in a translation of the Bible. About, below, shows which one your copy uses, and a PDF you share carries that translation’s notice on its last page.
The Greek and Hebrew, where you turn them on, come from openly licensed editions, credited on any PDF that carries them.
The Revised Common Lectionary is the table Sunday Readings can choose. Revised Common Lectionary, Copyright © 1992 Consultation on Common Texts. www.commontexts.org. Used by permission. A PDF of an office that reads it carries that notice.
Each heading in the office shows the page of the BCP it is printed on, so you can find it in your own copy. A Lesson shows its chapter and verses instead, and a psalm from Coverdale’s Psalter says “Coverdale”. You can turn the pages off with BCP Page Numbers in Settings.
