Matthew 25:34-40

34“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, 1inherit the kingdom prepared for you 2from the foundation of the world. 35For 3I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; 4I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 5naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you 6visited Me; 7I 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?’ 40 8The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, 9to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
