Matthew 25: 31 - 40
|
| 31
|
"When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
|
| 32
|
Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
|
| 33
|
and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
|
| 34
|
Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O 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 welcomed me,
|
| 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, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?
|
| 38
|
And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?
|
| 39
|
And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?'
|
| 40
|
And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'
