Da trat Petrus zu ihm und sprach: HERR, wie oft muß ich denn meinem Bruder, der an mir sündigt, vergeben? Ist's genug siebenmal?
Entonces Pedro, llegándose a Él, dijo: Señor, ¿cuántas veces perdonaré a mi hermano que pecare contra mí? ¿hasta siete?
Entonces Pedro se acercó y le dijo: «Señor, ¿cuántas veces debo perdonar a mi hermano cuando peque contra mí? ¿Hasta siete veces?».
Alors Pierre s'approcha de lui, et dit: Seigneur, combien de fois pardonnerai-je à mon frère, lorsqu'il péchera contre moi? Sera-ce jusqu'à sept fois?
Allora Pietro, accostatoglisi, disse: Signore, quante volte, peccando il mio fratello contro a me, gli perdonerò io? fino a sette volte?
Então Pedro, aproximando-se dele, disse: Senhor, até quantas vezes pecará meu irmão contra mim, e eu lhe perdoarei? Até sete?
