Reading is interpretation. When your eye sees a written symbol, your brain interprets that as a letter of the alphabet, and cogent to the process of reading. Further, your brain interprets what that symbol means, in context with the symbols around it. After your brain does this, your cognitive mind extrapolates some kind of meaning from what the brain has determined are words, sentences, and paragraphs. These words, sentences and paragraphs are meant to convey ideas. What are those ideas?
For example, if we read the sentence, "Let's eat, Grandma." We may interpret that as "someone telling Grandma that it's time to eat." If we read the same words, "Let's eat Grandma." We may interpret that completely differently.
In our society, we interpret that one way, because of our social mores. In a cannibalistic society, we might interpret that another way.
In order to "read the Bible," we have to determine many things, such as cultural implications, context, social issues, even puncutation. The Greek texts were written thus:

Imagine that sentence in letters completely foreign to our first language.
Even your statement, above, is an interpretation. "I'm just reading" is a form of interpretation.
Sorry. You're interpreting. So is everyone else. Including me.
