One Voice

The New Testament, divided into its stories and read aloud. 768 of them, from the family line at the opening of Matthew to the last words of Revelation.

There is no cast. A single synthesized voice of God carries all of it: the narration, the prophets, the crowds, the accused, the risen. Where the text marks a change of speaker, the voice changes register rather than hands over.

And it is not a dry reading. Every chapter is scored with period-inspired music that rises and falls with the text, so a genealogy, a storm on the lake and a crucifixion do not sound alike. The result is meant to be listened to the way you would listen to an album, not endured the way you might endure an audiobook.

The translation is the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. No permission or attribution is required to use it. The section titles are original to this project.

Two passages are omitted, both absent from the earliest surviving manuscripts: the longer ending of Mark (16:9–20) and the account of the woman accused of adultery (John 7:53–8:11).
