Acts 4-7 — Bible Read Aloud Over Quiet Landscapes

Peter and John, called "unlearned and ignorant men." A shadow falling across the sick in the street. A face "like it was the face of an angel." And, at the very end, "a young man named Saul." Acts 4-7, 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, a soft instrumental bed far beneath it, and somewhere real to rest your eyes while you listen.

This is episode 23 of 47. Acts continues: Peter and John before the council, the believers holding all things in common, Ananias and Sapphira, the apostles in prison and out again, the seven chosen to serve tables, and Stephen's long speech — ending where Saul first appears.
