Denn ich sage euch: Viele Propheten und Könige wollten sehen, was ihr sehet, und haben's nicht gesehen, und hören, was ihr höret, und haben's nicht gehört.
Porque os digo que muchos profetas y reyes desearon ver lo que vosotros veis, y no lo vieron; y oír lo que oís, y no lo oyeron.
Car je vous dis que beaucoup de prophètes et de rois ont désiré voir ce que vous voyez, et ne l'ont pas vu, entendre ce que vous entendez, et ne l'ont pas entendu.
perciocchè io vi dico, che molti profeti, e re, hanno desiderato di veder le cose che voi vedete, e non le hanno vedute, e di udir le cose che voi udite, e non le hanno udite
Pois vos digo que muitos profetas e reis desejaram ver o que vós vedes, e não o viram; e ouvir o que ouvis, e não o ouviram.
我告訴你們,從前有許多先知和君王要看你們所看的,卻沒有看見,要聽你們所聽的,卻沒有聽見。」
