John 11-14 — Bible Read Aloud Over Quiet Landscapes

October 1, 2026 · Runtime 22:03 · Watch on YouTube

A friend four days in the tomb, and the shortest verse in the book: "Jesus wept." A pound of perfume worth three hundred denarii poured out on his feet. A teacher who gets up from supper and washes his students' feet. And a promise: "In my Father's house are many homes." 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 and no captions burned over the picture. Just the text, a voice, and somewhere real to rest your eyes while you listen. From this episode on, a soft instrumental bed sits far beneath the voice.

This is episode 20 of 47. John 11 through 14: the raising of Lazarus, the anointing at Bethany, the entry into Jerusalem, the washing of the disciples' feet, and the long farewell at supper — "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
