Der HERR aber sprach zu ihm: Ihr Pharisäer haltet die Becher und Schüsseln auswendig reinlich, aber euer Inwendiges ist voll Raubes und Bosheit.
Y el Señor le dijo: Ahora vosotros los Fariseos lo de fuera del vaso y del plato limpiáis; mas lo interior de vosotros está lleno de rapiña y de maldad.
El Señor le dijo: «Ustedes, los fariseos, limpian por fuera el vaso y el plato, pero por dentro están llenos de rapiña y maldad.
Mais le Seigneur lui dit: Vous, pharisiens, vous nettoyez le dehors de la coupe et du plat, et à l'intérieur vous êtes pleins de rapine et de méchanceté.
E il Signore gli disse: Ora voi Farisei nettate il difuori della coppa e del piatto; ma il didentro di voi è pieno di rapina e di malvagità.
E o Senhor lhe disse: Agora vós, os fariseus, limpais o exterior do copo e do prato; mas o vosso interior está cheio de rapina e maldade.
主對他說:「如今你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面,你們裏面卻滿了貪婪和邪惡。
