He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Wer Vater oder Mutter mehr liebt denn mich, der ist mein nicht wert; und wer Sohn oder Tochter mehr liebt denn mich, der ist mein nicht wert.
El que ama padre o madre más que a mí, no es digno de mí; y el que ama hijo o hija más que a mí, no es digno de mí.
Quien ama a padre o madre más que a mí no es digno de mí; quien ama a hijo o hija más que a mí no es digno de mí.
Celui qui aime son père ou sa mère plus que moi n'est pas digne de moi, et celui qui aime son fils ou sa fille plus que moi n'est pas digne de moi;
Chi ama padre o madre più di me non è degno di me; e chi ama figliuolo o figliuola più di me non è degno di me.
Quem ama o pai ou a mãe mais do que a mim não é digno de mim; e quem ama o filho ou a filha mais do que a mim não é digno de mim.
愛父母勝過愛我的,不配作我的門徒;愛兒女勝過愛我的,不配作我的門徒。
