Da sprachen die Juden: Will er sich denn selbst töten, daß er spricht: "Wohin ich gehe, da könnet ihr nicht hin kommen"?
Decían entonces los Judíos: ¿Hase de matar a sí mismo, que dice: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir?
Sur quoi les Juifs dirent: Se tuera-t-il lui-même, puisqu'il dit: Vous ne pouvez venir où je vais?
Laonde i Giudei dicevano: Ucciderà egli sè stesso, ch’egli dice: Dove io vo, voi non potete venire?
Diziam, pois, os judeus: Porventura quererá matar-se a si mesmo, pois diz: Para onde eu vou não podeis vir?
猶太 人說:「他說『我所去的地方,你們不能去』,難道他要自殺嗎?」
