sondern machte seinen Abschied mit ihnen und sprach: Ich muß allerdinge das künftige Fest in Jerusalem halten; will's Gott, so will ich wieder zu euch kommen. Und fuhr weg von Ephesus
Sino que se despidió de ellos, diciendo: Es menester que en todo caso tenga la fiesta que viene, en Jerusalem; mas otra vez volveré a vosotros, queriendo Dios. Y partió de Efeso.
et il prit congé d'eux, en disant: Il faut absolument que je célèbre la fête prochaine à Jérusalem. Je reviendrai vers vous, si Dieu le veut. Et il partit d'Ephèse.
anzi prese commiato da loro, dicendo: Del tutto mi conviene far la festa prossima in Gerusalemme; ma io ritornerò ancora a voi, se piace a Dio. Così si partì per mare da Efeso.
Antes se despediu deles, dizendo: É-me de todo preciso celebrar a solenidade que vem em Jerusalém; mas querendo Deus, outra vez voltarei a vós. E partiu de Éfeso.
