Y dijo a otro: Sígueme. Y Él dijo: Señor, déjame que primero vaya y entierre a mi padre.
Dijo a otro: «Sígueme». Él respondió: «Señor, permíteme ir primero a enterrar a mi padre».
Il dit à un autre: Suis-moi. Et il répondit: Seigneur, permets-moi d'aller d'abord ensevelir mon père.
Ma egli disse ad un altro: Seguitami. Ed egli disse: Signore, permettimi che io prima vada, e seppellisca mio padre.
E disse a outro: Segue-me. Mas ele respondeu: SENHOR, deixa que primeiro eu vá a enterrar meu pai.
