Juan 6:30-40 (NVI)
30 ―¿Y qué señal harás para que la veamos y te creamos? ¿Qué puedes hacer? —insistieron ellos—.
31 Nuestros antepasados comieron el maná en el desierto, como está escrito: “Pan del cielo les dio a comer”.
32 ―Ciertamente os aseguro que no fue Moisés el que os dio el pan del cielo —afirmó Jesús—. El que da el verdadero pan del cielo es mi Padre.
33 El pan de Dios es el que baja del cielo y da vida al mundo.
34 ―Señor —le pidieron—, danos siempre ese pan.
35 ―Yo soy el pan de vida —declaró Jesús—. El que a mí viene nunca pasará hambre, y el que en mí cree nunca más volverá a tener sed.
36 Pero, como ya os dije, a pesar de que me habéis visto, no creéis.
37 Todos los que el Padre me da vendrán a mí; y al que a mí viene, no lo rechazo.
38 Porque he bajado del cielo no para hacer mi voluntad, sino la del que me envió.
39 Y esta es la voluntad del que me envió: que no pierda nada de lo que él me ha dado, sino que lo resucite en el día final.
40 Porque la voluntad de mi Padre es que todo el que reconozca al Hijo y crea en él tenga vida eterna, y yo lo resucitaré en el día final.
Prayer for the Spreading of the Gospel
2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
Oración Por La Difusión Del Evangelio
II Thessalonians 3:1-5 (NVI)
1 Por último, hermanos, orad por nosotros para que el mensaje del Señor se difunda rápidamente y se reciba con honor, tal como sucedió entre vosotros. 2 Orad además para que seamos librados de personas perversas y malvadas, porque no todos tienen fe.
3 Pero el Señor es fiel, y él os fortalecerá y os protegerá del maligno.
4 En el Señor tenemos confianza en que vosotros cumplís y seguiréis cumpliendo lo que os hemos enseñado.
5 Que el Señor os lleve a amar como Dios ama, y a perseverar como Cristo perseveró.
The Suffering Savior
Isaiah 53:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
El Salvador Que Sufre
Isaías 53:1-5 (NVI)
1 ¿Quién ha creído nuestro mensaje y a quién se le ha revelado el poder del Señor?
2 Creció en su presencia como vástago tierno, como raíz de tierra seca. No había en él belleza ni majestad alguna; su aspecto no era atractivo y nada en su apariencia lo hacía deseable.
3 Despreciado y rechazado por los hombres, varón de dolores, hecho para el sufrimiento. Todos evitaban mirarlo; fue despreciado, y no lo estimamos.
4 Ciertamente él cargó con nuestras enfermedades y soportó nuestros dolores, pero nosotros lo consideramos herido, golpeado por Dios, y humillado.
5 Él fue traspasado por nuestras rebeliones, y molido por nuestras iniquidades; sobre él recayó el castigo, precio de nuestra paz, y gracias a sus heridas fuimos sanados.
The King of Glory
Psalms 24:7-10 (NKJV)
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
El Rey de La Gloria
Salmo 24:7-10 (NVI)
7 Elevad, puertas, vuestros dinteles; levantaos, puertas antiguas, que va a entrar el Rey de la gloria.
8 ¿Quién es este Rey de la gloria? El Señor, el fuerte y valiente, el Señor, el valiente guerrero.
9 Elevad, puertas, vuestros dinteles; levantaos, puertas antiguas, que va a entrar el Rey de la gloria.
10 ¿Quién es este Rey de la gloria? Es el Señor Todopoderoso; ¡él es el Rey de la gloria!

“They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.” –Hosea 11:10 KJV
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” –Revelation 5:5 KJV
“For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.” –Isaiah 31:4-7 KJV
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” –John 1:29-36 KJV
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” –Revelation 13:8 KJV

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” –Revelation 5:11-13 KJV
Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany
John 12:1-8 (NKJV)
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.
8 For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
María unge a Jesús en Betania
Juan 12:1-8 (NVI)
1 Seis días antes de la Pascua llegó Jesús a Betania, donde vivía Lázaro, a quien Jesús había resucitado.
2 Allí se dio una cena en honor de Jesús. Marta servía, y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban a la mesa con él.
3 María tomó entonces como medio litro de nardo puro, que era un perfume muy caro, y lo derramó sobre los pies de Jesús, secándoselos luego con sus cabellos. Y la casa se llenó de la fragancia del perfume.
4 Judas Iscariote, que era uno de sus discípulos y que más tarde lo traicionaría, objetó:
5 ―¿Por qué no se vendió este perfume, que vale muchísimo dinero, para dárselo a los pobres?
6 Dijo esto no porque se interesara por los pobres, sino porque era un ladrón y, como tenía a su cargo la bolsa del dinero, acostumbraba a robar lo que echaban en ella.
7 ―Déjala en paz —respondió Jesús—. Ella ha estado guardando este perfume para el día de mi sepultura.
8 A los pobres siempre los tendréis con vosotros, pero a mí no siempre me tendréis.
