For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Denn ich bin ein Mensch, der Obrigkeit untertan, und habe unter mir Kriegsknechte; und wenn ich sage zu einem: Gehe hin! so geht er; und zum andern: Komm her! so kommt er; und zu meinem Knecht: Tu das! so tut er's.
Porque también yo soy hombre bajo de potestad, y tengo bajo de mí soldados: y digo a éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y a mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
Porque yo también soy un hombre bajo autoridad y tengo soldados a mis órdenes. A uno le digo: “Ve”, y va; a otro: “Ven”, y viene; y a mi esclavo: “Haz esto”, y lo hace».
Car, moi qui suis soumis à des supérieurs, j'ai des soldats sous mes ordres; et je dis à l'un: Va! et il va; à l'autre: Viens! et il vient; et à mon serviteur: Fais cela! et il le fait.
Perciocchè io son uomo sottoposto alla podestà altrui, ed ho sotto di me de’ soldati; e pure, se dico all’uno: Va’, egli va; e se all’altro: Vieni, egli viene; e se dico al mio servitore: Fa’ questo, egli lo fa.
Pois também eu sou homem sob autoridade, e tenho soldados às minhas ordens; e digo a este: Vai, e ele vai; e a outro: Vem, e ele vem; e ao meu criado: Faze isto, e ele o faz.
因為我在人的權下,也有兵在我以下。我對這個說:『去!』他就去;對那個說:『來!』他就來;對我的僕人說:『做這事!』他就去做。」
