وَبَعْدَ قَلِيل جَاءَ الْقِيَامُ وَقَالُوا لِبُطْرُسَ: «حَقًّا أَنْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّ لُغَتَكَ تُظْهِرُكَ!»And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.Matthew 26:73, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَصَارَ ذلِكَ مَعْلُومًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، حَتَّى دُعِيَ ذلِكَ الْحَقْلُ فِي لُغَتِهِمْ «حَقَلْ دَمَا» أَيْ: حَقْلَ دَمٍ.And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.Acts 1:19, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَأَنْكَرَ أَيْضًا. وَبَعْدَ قَلِيل أَيْضًا قَالَ الْحَاضِرُونَ لِبُطْرُسَ: «حَقًّا أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّكَ جَلِيلِيٌّ أَيْضًا وَلُغَتُكَ تُشْبِهُ لُغَتَهُمْ!».And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.Mark 14:70, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
