For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Denn gleichwie Jona war drei Tage und drei Nächte in des Walfisches Bauch, also wird des Menschen Sohn drei Tage und drei Nächte mitten in der Erde sein.
Porque como estuvo Jonás en el vientre de la ballena tres días y tres noches, así estará el Hijo del hombre en el corazón de la tierra tres días y tres noches.
Car, de même que Jonas fut trois jours et trois nuits dans le ventre d'un grand poisson, de même le Fils de l'homme sera trois jours et trois nuits dans le sein de la terre.
Perciocchè, siccome Giona fu tre giorni, e tre notti, nel ventre della balena, così sarà il Figliuol dell’uomo tre giorni, e tre notti, nel cuor della terra.
Pois, como Jonas esteve três dias e três noites no ventre da baleia, assim estará o Filho do homem três dias e três noites no seio da terra.
約拿 三日三夜在大魚肚腹中,同樣,人子也要三日三夜在地裏面。
