Luke 14-18 — Bible Read Aloud Over Quiet Landscapes

September 18, 2026 · Runtime 22:41 · Watch on YouTube

A banquet where every invited guest sends an excuse, a father who runs while his son is still far off, a beggar named in a parable where no one else in the story gets a name, and ten men healed of whom only one comes back. 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 15 of 47. It picks up where episode 14 left off, at Luke 14 — a Sabbath meal, a warning about seats of honor, and a banquet that fills up with people never on the original list.

SUBTITLES

English (World English Bible) and Spanish (Reina-Valera 1909),

timed verse by verse to the narration.

A note for Spanish viewers: the following verses appear in the

Reina-Valera and not in the World English Bible, which follows

the Majority Text. The narration never speaks them, so they are

not in the subtitle track:

Lucas 17:36

Text: World English Bible (WEB), public domain.

Spanish subtitles: Reina-Valera 1909, public domain.

Narrated with a synthesized voice (Microsoft Edge neural TTS). The text is read in full, unabridged and unaltered.
