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 7 of 47. Matthew ends here, at the tomb, and Mark begins — with no genealogy, no birth, no infancy. The first sentence is a title, the second is a quotation, and by verse nine a grown man is standing in a river.
