Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: So ich von mir selbst zeugen würde, so ist mein Zeugnis wahr; denn ich weiß, woher ich gekommen bin und wohin ich gehe; ihr aber wißt nicht, woher ich komme und wohin ich gehe.
Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Aunque yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero, porque sé de dónde he venido y a dónde voy; mas vosotros no sabéis de dónde vengo, y a dónde voy.
Jesús les respondió: «Aunque yo dé testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero, porque sé de dónde vine y adónde voy. Pero ustedes no saben de dónde vengo ni adónde voy.
Jésus leur répondit: Quoique je rende témoignage de moi-même, mon témoignage est vrai, car je sais d'où je suis venu et où je vais; mais vous, vous ne savez d'où je viens ni où je vais.
Gesù rispose, e disse loro: Quantunque io testimonii di me stesso, pure è la mia testimonianza verace; perciocchè io so onde io son venuto, ed ove io vo; ma voi non sapete nè onde io vengo, nè ove io vo.
Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhes: Ainda que eu testifico de mim mesmo, o meu testemunho é verdadeiro, porque sei de onde vim, e para onde vou; mas vós não sabeis de onde venho, nem para onde vou.
耶穌回答他們,對他們說:「即使我為自己作見證,我的見證還是真的,因為我知道我從哪裏來,到哪裏去。你們卻不知道我從哪裏來,到哪裏去。
