He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Er sprach: Ja. Und als er heimkam, kam ihm Jesus zuvor und sprach: Was dünkt dich, Simon? Von wem nehmen die Könige auf Erden den Zoll oder Zins? Von Ihren Kindern oder von den Fremden?
Él dice: Sí. Y entrando Él en casa, Jesús le habló antes, diciendo: ¿Qué te parece, Simón? Los reyes de la tierra, ¿de quién cobran los tributos o el censo? ¿de sus hijos o de los extraños?
Oui, dit-il. Et quand il fut entré dans la maison, Jésus le prévint, et dit: Que t'en semble, Simon? Les rois de la terre, de qui perçoivent-ils des tributs ou des impôts? de leurs fils, ou des étrangers?
Egli disse: Sì. E quando egli fu entrato in casa, Gesù lo prevenne, dicendo: Che ti pare, Simone? da cui prendono i re della terra i tributi, o il censo? da’ figliuoli loro, o dagli stranieri?
Disse ele: Sim. E, entrando em casa, Jesus se lhe antecipou, dizendo: Que te parece, Simão? De quem cobram os reis da terra os tributos, ou o censo? Dos seus filhos, ou dos alheios?
彼得 說:「納。」他進了屋子,耶穌先對他說:「 西門 ,你的意見如何?世上的君王向誰徵收關稅或丁稅?是向自己的兒子呢?還是向外人呢?」
