Matthew 14:1-12, Bible Reading in Nature, BSB

John the Baptist is executed by Herod — Matthew 14:1-12, read aloud from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), in a peaceful outdoor setting. Experience Scripture surrounded by the beauty of nature.

This year, I’m hiking to remote locations and reading the entire Bible outdoors, following a roughly chronological plan. I chose the Berean Standard Bible for its clarity and its public domain release in 2023. These videos are free to use in any setting—personal devotions, group studies, or church gatherings. Let’s read Scripture often and share the beauty of our Creator and the Good News of Jesus Christ far and wide.
