And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Und er sprach zu ihnen: Meinen Kelch sollt ihr zwar trinken, und mit der Taufe, mit der ich getauft werde, sollt ihr getauft werden; aber das sitzen zu meiner Rechten und Linken zu geben steht mir nicht zu, sondern denen es bereitet ist von meinem Vater.
Y Él les dice: A la verdad mi vaso beberéis, y del bautismo de que yo soy bautizado, seréis bautizados; mas el sentaros a mi mano derecha y a mi izquierda, no es mío dar lo, sino a aquellos para quienes está aparejado de mi Padre.
Él les dijo: «Mi copa ciertamente la beberán; pero sentarse a mi derecha y a mi izquierda no me corresponde concederlo, sino que es para aquellos para quienes lo ha preparado mi Padre».
Et il leur répondit: Il est vrai que vous boirez ma coupe; mais pour ce qui est d'être assis à ma droite et à ma gauche, cela ne dépend pas de moi, et ne sera donné qu'à ceux à qui mon Père l'a réservé.
Ed egli disse loro: Voi certo berrete il mio calice, e sarete battezzati del battesimo del quale io sarò battezzato; ma, quant’è al sedere alla mia destra, o alla sinistra, non istà a me il darlo; ma sarà dato a coloro a cui è preparato dal Padre mio.
E diz-lhes ele: Na verdade bebereis o meu cálice e sereis batizados com o batismo com que eu sou batizado, mas o assentar-se à minha direita ou à minha esquerda não me pertence dá-lo, mas é para aqueles para quem meu Pai o tem preparado.
耶穌說:「我所喝的杯,你們要喝。可是坐在我的左右,不是我可以賜的,而是我父為誰預備就賜給誰。」
