Und sie ließen ihren Vater Zebedäus im Schiff mit den Tagelöhnern und folgten ihm nach.
Y luego los llamó: y dejando a su padre Zebedeo en el barco con los jornaleros, fueron en pos de Él.
Enseguida los llamó, y ellos dejaron a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros y se fueron detrás de él.
Aussitôt, il les appela; et, laissant leur père Zébédée dans la barque avec les ouvriers, ils le suivirent.
e subito li chiamò; ed essi, lasciato Zebedeo lor padre, nella navicella, con gli operai, se ne andarono dietro a lui.
E logo os chamou. E eles, deixando o seu pai Zebedeu no barco com os jornaleiros, foram após ele.
耶穌隨即呼召他們,他們就把父親 西庇太 和雇工留在船上,跟從了耶穌。
