This Sunday's Old Testament Reading?

I am on the reading rota for this Sunday, but missed last Sunday's service and so didn't pick up a copy of this Sunday's reading. I like to skim the text for any awkward pronunciations before I stand up in front of everyone! I have tried googling it as I thought they were common with in the whole C of E , but no success. Can any of you help me?

Principal Service is Epiphany and the OT reading is Isaiah 60 1-6.

or just get to Church a bit early to give yourself time to look?
Or phone whoever is taking the service - more certain to be the same reading that way, or they might want a particular version or something.

If it is not kept as Epiphany it is from Jeremiah. Either way none of the possible OT readings in the lectionary for morning prayer or the Eucharist have difficult names.

I gave in and emailed it is:
A reading from the letter to the Ephesians (3:1-12)I, Paul, am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles - for surely you have already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow-heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God’s grace that was given me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.

Old Testament?

I know! I thought the reading part was always old testament-but this is what I had today!
