Description and sources

The Quiet Reading is the New Testament read straight through, in order, one passage at a time — no commentary, no music, no captions burned over the picture. Just the text, a voice, and somewhere real to rest your eyes while you listen.

This is episode 4 of 47. It picks up where episode 3 left off, at Matthew 16.
