Book of Matthew
31 But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate
them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats. 33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left. 34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand,
Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry, and you gave
me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a
stranger, and you took me in; 36 naked, and you clothed me; I was
sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to
me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we
see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? 38
When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and
clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to
you?
40 The King will answer them, Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch
as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers*1 , you did
it to me. 41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand,
Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is
prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you
didnt give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no
drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you didnt take me in; naked, and
you didnt clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didnt visit
me.
44 Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you
hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and didnt help you?
45 Then he will answer them, saying, Most assuredly I tell you,
inasmuch as you didnt do it to one of the least of these, you
didnt do it to me. 46 These will go away into eternal punishment,
but the righteous into eternal life.
