Acts 8-11 — Bible Read Aloud Over Quiet Landscapes

October 21, 2026 · Runtime 21:00 · Watch on YouTube

An Ethiopian official reading Isaiah in a chariot: "Do you understand what you are reading?" A light from the sky on the road to Damascus. A voice on a rooftop: "Rise, Peter, kill and eat!" And in Antioch, where the disciples were "first called Christians." Acts 8-11, 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 24 of 47. Acts continues: Philip and the Ethiopian official, Saul on the road to Damascus, Peter at Cornelius's house, and the church at Antioch.

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:

Hechos 8:37

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.
