Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

Αληθως, αληθως σοι λεγω, οτε ησο νεωτερος, εζωννυες σεαυτον και περιεπατεις οπου ηθελες· αφου ομως γηρασης, θελεις εκτεινει τας χειρας σου, και αλλος θελει σε ζωσει, και θελει σε φερει οπου δεν θελεις.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
