Hola Carlos:
Un hombre había pintado un lindo cuadro. El día de la presentación al público asistieron las autoridades locales, fotógrafos, periodistas y mucha gente pues, se trataba de un famoso pintor reconocido artista. Llegado el momento, se tiró el paño que velaba el cuadro. Hubo un caluroso aplauso. Iba (Era) una impresionante figura de Jesús tocando suavemente la puerta de una casa. Jesús parecía dibu (vivo). Con el oído junto a la puerta, parecía querer oír si adentro de la casa alguien le respondía. Todos admiraban aquella preciosa obra de arte. Un observador muy curioso encontró una falla en el cuadro. La puerta no tenía cerradura y fue a preguntar al artista - Su puerta no tiene cerradura ¿Cómo se hace para abrirla? - El pintor tomó su Biblia, buscó un versículo y le pidió al observador que lo leerá (leyera).
Apocalipis 3:20 He aquí yo estoy a la puerta y llamó (llamo). si alguno oyere mi voz y abriré (abriere) la puerta, entraré a él y cenaré con él y él conmigo.
-Así es - respondió el pintor - Ésta es la puerta del corazón del hombre, solo se abre por dentro. Abramos nuestro corazón al amor, a Díos. Cambiemos aún estamos a tiempo
A man had painted a beautiful painting. Local authorities, photographers, journalists and many people came to the day of the public unveiling being as it was about a famous painter and well known artist. The moment arrived. The cloth that covered the painting was thrown off. There was a warm ovation. It was an impressing figure of Jesus knocking gently on the door of a house. Jesus seemed ???? with his ear to the door. He seemed to want to hear if anyone had answered his knock from inside the house. Everyone was admiring that lovely work of art. A very inquisitive/nosy observer found a flaw in the painting. The door didn’t have a lock and he was going to ask the artist: “Your door doesn’t have a lock. How is he going to get it open?” The painter took his bible, looked for a verse and asked the observer “will you read?”
‘Revelations 3:20: Behold I am here at the door and call. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door, I will come in and dine with him and him with me.’
“This is how it is,” the painter answered. “This is the door to the heart of man. It can only be opened from the inside. Let us open our hearts to love, to God. Let us change ourselves. We are still in time”

A man had painted a pretty picture. The day of the public presentation was attended by the local authorities, photographers, journalists and many other people. Well, it was about the dealings of a famous painter and celebrated recognized artist. The moment arrived. He withdrew the cloth from the painting. There was a warm applause. It was a figure of Jesus gently touching the door of a house. Jesus appeared to be alive. With one ear against the door he seemed to want to hear if anyone inside the house had responded. Everyone admired that precious work of art. A very curious observer found a fault. The door had no latch and went to ask the artist. Your door does not have a latch. How is one to open it ... the painter took his Bible and looked for a verse and ask the observer that he read. Apocalypes three-twenty. She here ... I am at the door and I call/knock. If anyone hear my voice and I will open the door and enter to him. And dine with him, and he with me .. It's like that, responded the painter, this is the door of the heart of man .. only opens on the inside.... we open our hearts for love....To God we can change. Still we are a time.
Carlos, yet another awesome post. Hey, are you personally the one that's recording your voice and posting it up? It seems so because you can hear stuff like doors slamming in the background and so. So, if it IS you, where are you from/race/nationality/etc.

I'll cheat and do the easy part:
- Apocalipsis (Revelación) 3:20
- He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él, y él conmigo. (Reina-Valera 1960)
- Revelation 3:20
- Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (King James version)
Very nice article and befitting the season. Thank you very much for sharing it. I must have seen this painting somewhere before, because I had heard the part about there being no doorknob (latch) and the significance of it.
Ahora esta buena noche aqui en Australia (son las tres y media a la tarde) y a todos estan listos por mañana. Espere a mirar a tu tarea quizas en dos días.....
Feliz navidad Carlos y tambien tú familia...

Did a little research on my end and found this website with the beautiful artwork and written transcript. Getting tired here but will later go back and try to understand more of what is on the audio with the help of the transcription in Spanish. Interesting as I was an art major. Nice vocabulary challenge for me to practice understanding describing the story of a painting.
Feliz Navidad
