An ihren Früchten sollt ihr sie erkennen. Kann man auch Trauben lesen von den Dornen oder Feigen von den Disteln?
Por sus frutos los conoceréis. ¿Cógense uvas de los espinos, o higos de los abrojos?
Por sus frutos los reconocerán. ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos o higos de los cardos?
Vous les reconnaîtrez à leurs fruits. Cueille-t-on des raisins sur des épines, ou des figues sur des chardons?
