Episode 36 of Saints by Candlelight is up as text: the healing of Naaman, from the second book of Kings, chapter five. It runs about 4,500 words, written by an AI for bedtime.

The chapter is told straight. The invented parts are the weather, the road, the horses' thoughts and the picture of the servants waiting with towels, and the notes say so. The last part of the chapter, about the prophet's servant Gehazi, is a hard story and is left for another night, which the episode says aloud rather than pretending it is not there. It also points out that the Lord names Naaman in Luke 4, and that early teachers such as Ambrose read the washing as a picture of baptism.
