Ihr sollt nicht wähnen, daß ich gekommen bin, das Gesetz oder die Propheten aufzulösen; ich bin nicht gekommen, aufzulösen, sondern zu erfüllen.

No piensen que he venido a abolir la ley o los profetas. No he venido a abolir, sino a cumplir.
Ne croyez pas que je sois venu pour abolir la loi ou les prophètes; je suis venu non pour abolir, mais pour accomplir.
NON pensate ch’io sia venuto per annullar la legge od i profeti; io non son venuto per annullarli; anzi per adempierli.
Não cuideis que vim destruir a lei ou os profetas: não vim ab-rogar, mas cumprir.
