Weh euch Pharisäern, daß ihr gerne obenan sitzt in den Schulen und wollt gegrüßt sein auf dem Markte.
¡Ay de vosotros, Fariseos! que amáis las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y las salutaciones en las plazas.
¡Ay de ustedes, fariseos! Porque aman los primeros asientos en las sinagogas y los saludos en las plazas.
Malheur à vous, pharisiens! parce que vous aimez les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, et les salutations dans les places publiques.
Guai a voi, Farisei! perciocchè voi amate i primi seggi nelle raunanze, e le salutazioni nelle piazze.
Ai de vós, fariseus, que amais os primeiros assentos nas sinagogas, e as saudações nas praças.
你們法利賽人有禍了!因為你們喜愛會堂裏的高位,又喜歡人們在街市上向你們問安。
