gleichwie des Menschen Sohn ist nicht gekommen, daß er sich dienen lasse, sondern daß er diene und gebe sein Leben zu einer Erlösung für viele.
Como el Hijo del hombre no vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
C'est ainsi que le Fils de l'homme est venu, non pour être servi, mais pour servir et donner sa vie comme la rançon de plusieurs.
Siccome il Figliuol dell’uomo non è venuto per esser servito, anzi per servire, e per dar l’anima sua per prezzo di riscatto per molti
Bem como o Filho do homem não veio para ser servido, mas para servir, e para dar a sua vida em resgate de muitos.
正如人子來,不是要受人的服事,乃是要服事人,並且要捨命,作多人的贖價。」
