- 1571, Joanes Leizarraga, editor, Iesus Christ Gure Iaunaren Testamentu Berria, London: The Trinitarian Bible Society, published 1908, Ioann 1:38:
- Eta itzuliric Iesusec, eta ikussiric hec çarreitzala, dioste hæy, Ceren bilha çabiltzate? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Rabbí (erran nahi baita hambat nola Magistruá) non egoiten aiz? [Original spelling]
Eta itzulirik Jesusek, eta ikusirik hek zarreitzala, dioste haei, Zeren bilha zabiltzate? Eta hek erran ziezoten, Rabbi (erran nahi baita hanbat nola Majistrua) non egoten haiz? [Modernized spelling]- Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou? – KJV

Usage notes
- Southern Basque (like Spanish) has two different verbs that are usually translated to English as “to be”; izan and egon. The former is used to express a quality of something, while the latter is used to express a state (e.g. location). For example:
- Mahaia handia da. ― The table is big. (using izan because this is an inherent quality of the table)
- Mahaia zikina dago. ― The table is dirty. (using egon because this is an temporary state the table is in)
- Iñaki Donostiakoa da. ― Iñaki is from San Sebastián. (using izan because it is an immutable quality of Iñaki)
- Iñaki Donostian dago. ― Iñaki is in San Sebastián. (using egon because it is describing Iñaki's location)
- Northern Basque does not have this distinction, and egon translates to "to stay" instead, making the last sentence mean "Iñaki is staying in San Sebastián".
