Und er nahm den Blinden bei der Hand und führte ihn hinaus vor den Flecken; spützte in seine Augen und legte seine Hände auf ihn und fragte ihn, ob er etwas sähe?
Entonces, tomando la mano del ciego, le sacó fuera de la aldea; y escupiendo en sus ojos, y poniéndole las manos encima, le preguntó si veía algo.
Él tomó al ciego de la mano y lo sacó fuera de la aldea. Después de escupirle en los ojos y ponerle las manos encima, le preguntó: «¿Ves algo?».
Il prit l'aveugle par la main, et le conduisit hors du village; puis il lui mit de la salive sur les yeux, lui imposa les mains, et lui demanda s'il voyait quelque chose.
Ed egli, preso il cieco per la mano, lo menò fuor del castello; e sputatogli negli occhi, e poste le mani sopra lui, gli domandò se vedeva cosa alcuna.
E, tomando o cego pela mão, levou-o para fora da aldeia; e, cuspindo-lhe nos olhos, e impondo-lhe as mãos, perguntou-lhe se via alguma coisa.
