Petrus klopfte weiter an. Da sie aber auftaten, sahen sie ihn und entsetzten sich.
Mas Pedro perseveraba en llamar: y cuando abrieron, viéronle, y se espantaron.
Pedro seguía llamando. Cuando abrieron y lo vieron, quedaron asombrados.
Cependant Pierre continuait à frapper. Ils ouvrirent, et furent étonnés de le voir.
Or Pietro continuava a picchiare. Ed essi, avendogli aperto, lo videro, e sbigottirono.
Mas Pedro perseverava em bater e, quando abriram, viram-no, e se espantaram.
