Interwoven Gospels "But when the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory; and before Him shall be gathered all the nations: and He shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. "And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left. Then shall the King say to those on His right hand, 'Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and ye gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me; I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was in prison, and ye came to Me." "Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we Thee hungry and fed Thee, or thirsty and gave Thee drink? And when saw we Thee a stranger and took Thee in, or naked, and clothed Thee? And when saw we Thee sick or in prison and came to Thee?' "And the King shall answer and say to them, 'Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, My brethren, ye did it to Me." "Then shall He also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which hath been prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and ye did not give Me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye did not give Me drink; I was a stranger, and ye did not take Me in; naked, and ye did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and ye did not visit Me." Then shall they also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see Thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to Thee?' "Then shall He answer them, saying 'Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me." And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life." Adapted from The Interwoven Gospels © Books for Living, Inc. Digital Edition by V.
