Gehet aber hin und lernet, was das sei: "Ich habe Wohlgefallen an Barmherzigkeit und nicht am Opfer." Ich bin gekommen die Sünder zur Buße zu rufen, und nicht die Gerechten.
Andad pues, y aprended qué cosa es: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio: porque no he venido a llamar justos, sino pecadores a arrepentimiento.
Vayan y aprendan qué significa: “Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio”. Porque no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores».
Allez, et apprenez ce que signifie: Je prends plaisir à la miséricorde, et non aux sacrifices. Car je ne suis pas venu appeler des justes, mais des pécheurs.
Io voglio misericordia, e non sacrifizio; perciocchè io non son venuto per chiamare a ravvedimento i giusti, anzi i peccatori
Ide, porém, e aprendei o que significa: Misericórdia quero, e não sacrifício. Porque eu não vim a chamar os justos, mas os pecadores, ao arrependimento.
經上說:『我喜愛憐憫,不喜愛祭祀。』這句話的意思,你們去揣摩。我不是來召義人,而是召罪人。」
