Acts 16-19 — Bible Read Aloud Over Quiet Landscapes
Midnight in a Philippian prison, and Paul and Silas are "praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them." The Bereans, "examining the Scriptures daily." An altar in Athens inscribed "TO AN UNKNOWN GOD." And a whole city crying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" Acts 16-19, read aloud, unhurried.
Chapters
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 26 of 47. Acts continues: Paul and Silas in Philippi, the riot in Thessalonica, the Bereans, the speech on the Areopagus in Athens, Corinth, and the uproar in Ephesus.
