Und er rief zu sich das Volk samt seinen Jüngern und sprach zu ihnen: Wer mir will nachfolgen, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir nach.
Y llamando a la gente con sus discípulos, les dijo: Cualquiera que quisiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.
Llamó a la multitud junto con sus discípulos y les dijo: «Si alguien quiere venir en pos de mí, que se niegue a sí mismo, tome su cruz y me siga.
Puis, ayant appelé la foule avec ses disciples, il leur dit: Si quelqu'un veut venir après moi, qu'il renonce à lui-même, qu'il se charge de sa croix, et qu'il me suive.
E CHIAMATA a sè la moltitudine, coi suoi discepoli, disse loro: Chiunque vuol venir dietro a me, rinunzi a sè stesso, e tolga la sua croce, e mi segua.
E chamando a si a multidão, com os seus discípulos, disse-lhes: Se alguém quiser vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, e tome a sua cruz, e siga-me.
