Discussion

Quick reading is not the same as pretend reading. If you read so quickly you don't know what you read then you are just pretending to read. The purpose of quick reading is to get scripture in your head. If it is there, the Holy Spirit can remind you of it. If it is not there, then there is nothing he can use.
The Holy Spirit does not generally give a person knowledge. We must study to obtain it. [1] Your flesh may tire of studying much [2] but it is a delight to the soul. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Jesus taught his disciples of the cross in many ways [9] . These were the same ways that the prophets taught of the cross. [10] He taught them in a way which they would forget. They did not understand the prophets, so they did not understand Jesus. They did not have a context to understand his teaching because the very concept of bodily resurrection was foreign to them.
