This paper proposes a brief overview of the use of the Bible in the liturgy ofthe Coptic Church of Egypt. We can find it in the Lectionaries in Sahidic,the old language of Upper Egypt, and in Bohairic, the liturgical language ofthe entire Coptic Church from the Middle Ages. Many readings are takenfrom the Old Testament, particularly during Lent and Holy Week, and allthe books of the New Testament are read. The phenomenon of the lectiocontinua of certain books, e.g. the Book of Jonas or, notably, the Book ofRevelation, on every Holy Saturday deserves special attention.
