Tuesday's Living Water

Scripture

And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed-- and a sword will pierce even your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."
Luke 2: 34-45



Simeón los bendijo, y dijo a su madre María: He aquí, este niño ha sido puesto para la caída y el levantamiento de muchos en Israel, y para ser señal de contradicción (y una espada traspasará aun tu propia alma) a fin de que sean revelados los pensamientos de muchos corazones.
Lucas 2: 34-35
