Die Nachbarn und die ihn zuvor gesehen hatten, daß er ein Bettler war, sprachen: Ist dieser nicht, der dasaß und bettelte?
Entonces los vecinos, y los que antes le habían visto que era ciego, decían: ¿no es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba?
Ses voisins et ceux qui auparavant l'avaient connu comme un mendiant disaient: N'est-ce pas là celui qui se tenait assis et qui mendiait?
Laonde i vicini, e coloro che innanzi l’avean veduto cieco, dissero: Non è costui quel che sedeva, e mendicava?
Então os vizinhos, e aqueles que dantes tinham visto que era cego, diziam: Não é este aquele que estava assentado e mendigava?
他的鄰舍和素常見他討飯的人,就說:「這不是那從前坐著討飯的人嗎?」
