Denn auch des Menschen Sohn ist nicht gekommen, daß er sich dienen lasse, sondern daß er diene und gebe sein Leben zur Bezahlung für viele.
Porque el Hijo del hombre tampoco vino para ser servido, mas para servir, y dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
Car le Fils de l'homme est venu, non pour être servi, mais pour servir et donner sa vie comme la rançon de plusieurs.
Poichè anche il Figliuol dell’uomo non è venuto per esser servito; anzi per servire, e per dar l’anima sua per prezzo di riscatto per molti
Porque o Filho do homem também não veio para ser servido, mas para servir e dar a sua vida em resgate de muitos.
因為人子來,並不是要受人的服事,乃是要服事人,並且要捨命作多人的贖價。」
