Er aber sprach zu ihm: Was heißest du mich gut? Niemand ist gut denn der einige Gott. Willst du aber zum Leben eingehen, so halte die Gebote.
Y Él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno es bueno sino uno, es a saber, Dios: y si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos.
Il lui répondit: Pourquoi m'interroges-tu sur ce qui est bon? Un seul est le bon. Si tu veux entrer dans la vie, observe les commandements.
Ed egli gli disse: Perchè mi chiami buono? niuno è buono, se non un solo, cioè: Iddio. Ora, se tu vuoi entrar nella vita, osserva i comandamenti.
E ele disse-lhe: Por que me chamas bom? Não há bom senão um só, que é Deus. Se queres, porém, entrar na vida, guarda os mandamentos.
耶穌對他說:「你為甚麼問我關於善的事呢?只有一位是善良的。你若要進入永生,就該遵守誡命。」
