Denket nur nicht, daß ihr bei euch wollt sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater. Ich sage euch: Gott vermag dem Abraham aus diesen Steinen Kinder zu erwecken.
Y no penséis decir dentro de vosotros: a Abraham tenemos por padre: porque yo os digo, que puede Dios despertar hijos a Abraham aun de estas piedras.
et ne prétendez pas dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père! Car je vous déclare que de ces pierres-ci Dieu peut susciter des enfants à Abraham.
E non pensate di dir fra voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abrahamo per padre; perciocchè io vi dico, che Iddio può, eziandio da queste pietre, far sorgere dei figliuoli ad Abrahamo.
E não presumais, de vós mesmos, dizendo: Temos por pai a Abraão; porque eu vos digo que, mesmo destas pedras, Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abraão.
不要自己心裏說:『我們有 亞伯拉罕 為祖宗。』我告訴你們,上帝能從這些石頭中給 亞伯拉罕 興起子孫來。
