Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Da antwortete Jesus und sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Der Sohn kann nichts von sich selber tun, sondern was er sieht den Vater tun; denn was dieser tut, das tut gleicherweise auch der Sohn.
Respondió entonces Jesús, y díjoles: De cierto, de cierto os digo: No puede el Hijo hacer nada de sí mismo, sino lo que viere hacer al Padre: porque todo lo que Él hace, esto también hace el Hijo juntamente.
Jésus reprit donc la parole, et leur dit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le Fils ne peut rien faire de lui-même, il ne fait que ce qu'il voit faire au Père; et tout ce que le Père fait, le Fils aussi le fait pareillement.
Laonde Gesù rispose, e disse loro: In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che il Figliuolo non può far nulla da sè stesso, ma fa ciò che vede fare al Padre, perciocchè le cose ch’esso fa, il Figliuolo le fa anch’egli simigliantemente.
Mas Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhes: Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que o Filho por si mesmo não pode fazer coisa alguma, se o não vir fazer o Pai; porque tudo quanto ele faz, o Filho o faz igualmente.
於是耶穌回答,對他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,子憑著自己不能做甚麼,惟有看見父所做的,他才做;父所做的事,子也照樣做。
