Und der Verräter hatte ihnen ein Zeichen gegeben und gesagt: Welchen ich küssen werde, der ist's; den greifet.
Y el que le entregaba les había dado señal, diciendo: Al que yo besare, aquél es: prendedle.
Celui qui le livrait leur avait donné ce signe: Celui que je baiserai, c'est lui; saisissez-le.
Or colui che lo tradiva avea loro dato un segnale, dicendo: Colui il quale io avrò baciato è desso; pigliatelo.
E o que o traía tinha-lhes dado um sinal, dizendo: O que eu beijar é esse; prendei-o.
