Da sprachen sie: Was ist das, was er sagt: Über ein kleines? Wir wissen nicht, was er redet.
Decían pues: ¿Qué es esto que dice: Un poquito? No entendemos lo que habla.
Y decían: «¿Qué significa eso que dice: “Dentro de poco”? No sabemos de qué habla».
Ils disaient donc: Que signifie ce qu'il dit: Encore un peu de temps? Nous ne savons de quoi il parle.
Dicevano adunque: Che cosa è questo fra poco, ch’egli dice? noi non sappiam ciò ch’egli si dica.
Diziam, pois: Que quer dizer isto: Um pouco? Não sabemos o que diz.
於是門徒說:「他說 『不久』到底是甚麼意思呢?我們不明白他說甚麼。」
