Aber Jesus sprach zu ihm: Folge du mir und laß die Toten ihre Toten begraben!
Y Jesús le dijo: Sígueme; deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.
Jesús le dijo: «Sígueme y deja que los muertos entierren a sus propios muertos».
Mais Jésus lui répondit: Suis-moi, et laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts.
Ma Gesù gli disse: Seguitami, e lascia i morti seppellire i loro morti
Jesus, porém, disse-lhe: Segue-me, e deixa os mortos sepultar os seus mortos.
