Da antworteten sie ihm: Wir sind Abrahams Samen, sind niemals jemandes Knecht gewesen; wie sprichst du denn: "Ihr sollt frei werden"?
Y respondiéronle: Simiente de Abraham somos, y jamás servimos a nadie: ¿cómo dices tú: Seréis libres?
Ellos le respondieron: «Somos descendientes de Abraham y nunca hemos sido esclavos de nadie. ¿Cómo dices tú: “Llegarán a ser libres”?».
Ils lui répondirent: Nous sommes la postérité d'Abraham, et nous ne fûmes jamais esclaves de personne; comment dis-tu: Vous deviendrez libres?
Essi gli risposero: Noi siam progenie d’Abrahamo, e non abbiam mai servito ad alcuno; come dici tu: Voi diverrete franchi?
Responderam-lhe: Somos descendência de Abraão, e nunca servimos a ninguém; como dizes tu: Sereis livres?
他們回答他:「我們是 亞伯拉罕 的後裔,從來沒有作過誰的奴隸,你怎麼說『會使你們自由』呢?」
