Alle, die vor mir gekommen sind, die sind Diebe und Mörder; aber die Schafe haben ihnen nicht gehorcht.
Todos los que antes de mí vinieron, ladrones son y robadores; mas no los oyeron las ovejas.
Tous ceux qui sont venus avant moi sont des voleurs et des brigands; mais les brebis ne les ont point écoutés.
Tutti quanti coloro che son venuti sono stati rubatori, e ladroni; ma le pecore non li hanno ascoltati.
Todos quantos vieram antes de mim são ladrões e salteadores; mas as ovelhas não os ouviram.
凡在我以前 來的都是賊,是強盜;羊沒有聽從他們。
