Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wärt ihr blind, so hättet ihr keine Sünde; nun ihr aber sprecht: "Wir sind sehend", bleibt eure Sünde.
Díjoles Jesús: Si fuerais ciegos, no tuvierais pecado: mas ahora porque decís, Vemos, por tanto vuestro pecado permanece.
Jesús les respondió: «Si fueran ciegos, no tendrían pecado. Pero ahora dicen: “Vemos”. Su pecado permanece».
Jésus leur répondit: Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n'auriez pas de péché. Mais maintenant vous dites: Nous voyons. C'est pour cela que votre péché subsiste.
Gesù disse loro: Se voi foste ciechi, non avreste alcun peccato; ma ora voi dite: Noi veggiamo; perciò il vostro peccato rimane
Disse-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Vemos; por isso o vosso pecado permanece.
耶穌對他們說:「你們若是失明的,就沒有罪了;但現在你們說『我們能看見』,你們的罪還在。」
