- 17 So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.
- 18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.
- 19 Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
- 20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
