Ich bin gekommen zu rufen die Sünder zur Buße, und nicht die Gerechten.
No he venido a llamar justos, sino pecadores a arrepentimiento.
No he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores al arrepentimiento».
Je ne suis pas venu appeler à la repentance des justes, mais des pécheurs.
Io non son venuto per chiamare i giusti, anzi i peccatori, a ravvedimento.
Eu não vim chamar os justos, mas, sim, os pecadores, ao arrependimento.
我不是來召義人悔改,而是召罪人悔改。」
