Und so ihr euch nur zu euren Brüdern freundlich tut, was tut ihr Sonderliches? Tun nicht die Zöllner auch also?
Y si abrazareis a vuestros hermanos solamente, ¿qué hacéis de más? ¿no hacen también así los Gentiles?
Et si vous saluez seulement vos frères, que faites-vous d'extraordinaire? Les païens aussi n'agissent-ils pas de même?
E se fate accoglienza solo a’ vostri amici, che fate di singolare? non fanno ancora i pubblicani il simigliante?
E, se saudardes unicamente os vossos irmãos, que fazeis de mais? Não fazem os publicanos também assim?
你們若只請你弟兄的安,有甚麼比別人強呢?就是外邦人不也是這樣做嗎?
