Matthew 25:34-45

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; 365naked, 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 as a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40And 8the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, 9to the extent that you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me.’

41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘10Depart from Me, you accursed people, into the 11eternal fire which has been prepared for 12the 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 as a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not 13take care of You?’ 45Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for Me, either.’
