Denn ich bin vom Himmel gekommen, nicht daß ich meinen Willen tue, sondern den Willen des, der mich gesandt hat.
Porque he descendido del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió.
Porque he bajado del cielo, no para hacer mi propia voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió.
car je suis descendu du ciel pour faire, non ma volonté, mais la volonté de celui qui m'a envoyé.
Perciocchè io son disceso del cielo, non acciocchè io faccia la mia volontà, ma la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato.
Porque eu desci do céu, não para fazer a minha vontade, mas a vontade daquele que me enviou.
因為我從天上降下來,不是要按自己的意願行,而是要遵行差我來那位的旨意。
