Matthew 25:33-46

33and He will put the sheep 1on His right, and the goats 2on the left.

34“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, 3inherit the kingdom prepared for you 4from the foundation of the world. 35For 5I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; 6I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 367naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you 8visited Me; 9I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 4010The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, 11to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘12Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the 13eternal fire which has been prepared for 14the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ 44Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not 15take care of You?’ 45Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46These will go away into 16eternal punishment, but the righteous into 17eternal life.”
