The wilderness, a hometown reading that ends with a crowd at a cliff edge, the sermon on a level place, and a widow's son at the gate of Nain. Read aloud, unhurried.

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 12 of 47. It picks up where episode 11 left off, at Luke 4 — straight out of the Jordan and into the wilderness, and then home to Nazareth to read from a scroll.
