Matthew 25:31-46
31 |
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 |
All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. |
33 |
And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. |
34 |
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you 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; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; |
36 |
'I was 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 drink? |
38 |
'When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? |
39 |
'Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' |
40 |
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' |
41 |
Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: |
42 |
'for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; |
43 |
'I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' |
44 |
Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?' |
45 |
Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' |
46 |
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. |
