Denn welcher ist größer: Der zu Tische sitzt oder der da dient? Ist's nicht also, daß der zu Tische sitzt! Ich aber bin unter euch wie ein Diener.
Porque, ¿cuál es mayor, el que se sienta a la mesa, o el que sirve? ¿No es el que se sienta a la mesa? Y yo soy entre vosotros como el que sirve.
Porque ¿quién es mayor: el que está a la mesa o el que sirve? ¿No es el que está a la mesa? Sin embargo, yo estoy entre ustedes como el que sirve.
Car quel est le plus grand, celui qui est à table, ou celui qui sert? N'est-ce pas celui qui est à table? Et moi, cependant, je suis au milieu de vous comme celui qui sert.
Perciocchè, quale è il maggiore, colui ch’è a tavola, o pur colui che serve? non è egli colui ch’è a tavola? or io sono in mezzo di voi come colui che serve.
Pois qual é maior: quem está à mesa, ou quem serve? Porventura não é quem está à mesa? Eu, porém, entre vós sou como aquele que serve.
是誰為大?是坐席的還是服事人的呢?不是坐席的大嗎?然而,我在你們中間是如同服事人的。
