und sprach: Gebt mir auch die Macht, daß, so ich jemand die Hände auflege, derselbe den Heiligen Geist empfange.
Diciendo: Dadme también a mí esta potestad, que a cualquiera que pusiere las manos encima, reciba el Espíritu Santo.
y dijo: «Denme también a mí esta autoridad, para que reciba el Espíritu Santo aquel a quien yo imponga las manos».
en disant: Accordez-moi aussi ce pouvoir, afin que celui à qui j'imposerai les mains reçoive le Saint-Esprit.
Date ancora a me questa podestà, che colui al quale io imporrò le mani riceva lo Spirito Santo.
Dizendo: Dai-me também a mim esse poder, para que aquele sobre quem eu puser as mãos receba o Espírito Santo.
說:「請把這權柄也給我,使我手按著誰,誰就可以領受聖靈。」
