Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen: Ich frage euch: Was ziemt sich zu tun an den Sabbaten, Gutes oder Böses? das Leben erhalten oder verderben?
Entonces Jesús les dice: Os preguntaré un cosa: ¿Es lícito en sábados hacer bien, o hacer mal? ¿salvar la vida, o quitarla?
Jesús les dijo: «Les pregunto: ¿está permitido en sábado hacer el bien o hacer el mal, salvar una vida o destruirla?».
Et Jésus leur dit: Je vous demande s'il est permis, le jour du sabbat, de faire du bien ou de faire du mal, de sauver une personne ou de la tuer.
Gesù adunque disse loro: Io vi domando: Che? è egli lecito di far bene o male, ne’ sabati? di salvar una persona, o d’ucciderla?
Então Jesus lhes disse: Uma coisa vos hei de perguntar: É lícito nos sábados fazer bem, ou fazer mal? salvar a vida, ou matar?
耶穌對他們說:「我問你們,在安息日行善行惡,救命害命,哪樣是合法的呢?」
