Matthew 25:35-46 ▼

35 For I hungered, and you? gave Me something to eat; I thirsted, and you? gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you? took Me in;

36 I was naked, and you? clothed Me; I was ailing, and you? visited Me; I was in prison, and you? came to Me.’

37 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, and fed You? Or thirsting, and gave You to drink?

38 And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You?

39 And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and came to You?’

40 And answering, the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you?, inasmuch as you? did it to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you? did it to Me.’

41 Then also He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, the cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I hungered, and you? did not give to Me to eat; and I thirsted, and you? did not give Me to drink;

43 I was a stranger, and you? did not take Me in; naked, and you? did not clothe Me; ailing and in prison, and you? did not visit Me.’

44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ailing, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?’

45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you?, inasmuch as you? did not do it to one of the least of these, you? did not do it to Me.’

46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
