Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen: In dieser Nacht werdet ihr euch alle ärgern an mir. Denn es steht geschrieben: "Ich werde den Hirten schlagen, und die Schafe der Herde werden sich zerstreuen."
Entonces Jesús les dice: Todos vosotros seréis escandalizados en mí esta noche; porque escrito está: Heriré al Pastor, y las ovejas de la manada serán dispersas.
Alors Jésus leur dit: Je serai pour vous tous, cette nuit, une occasion de chute; car il est écrit: Je frapperai le berger, et les brebis du troupeau seront dispersées.
Allora Gesù disse loro: Voi tutti sarete scandalezzati in me questa notte; perciocchè egli è scritto: Io percoterò il Pastore, e le pecore della greggia saranno disperse.
Então Jesus lhes disse: Todos vós esta noite vos escandalizareis em mim; porque está escrito: Ferirei o pastor, e as ovelhas do rebanho se dispersarão.
那時,耶穌對他們說:「今夜,你們為我的緣故都要跌倒。因為經上記著: 『我要擊打牧人, 羊就分散了。』
