They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Schlangen vertreiben; und so sie etwas Tödliches trinken, wird's ihnen nicht schaden; auf die Kranken werden sie die Hände legen, so wird es besser mit ihnen werden.
Quitarán serpientes, y si bebieren cosa mortífera, no les dañará; sobre los enfermos pondrán sus manos, y sanarán.
ils saisiront des serpents; s'ils boivent quelque breuvage mortel, il ne leur fera point de mal; ils imposeront les mains aux malades, et les malades, seront guéris.
torranno via i serpenti; ed avvegnachè abbiano bevuta alcuna cosa mortifera, quella non farà loro alcun nocimento; metteranno le mani sopra gl’infermi, ed essi staranno bene
Pegarão nas serpentes; e, se beberem alguma coisa mortífera, não lhes fará dano algum; e porão as mãos sobre os enfermos, e os curarão.
手 能拿蛇;若喝了甚麼毒物,也不會受害;手按病人,病人就好了。」〕 〔
