Matthew:25:31-46
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
And when the Son of Man comes in His glory ,
and all the holy angels with Him ,
then will He sit upon His glorious throne .
*
All the nations will be gathered before Him ,
and He will separate them one from another ,
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats .
*
And He will set the sheep on His right hand ,
but the goats on [
His ]
left .
*
Then the King will say to those on His right hand , '
Come ,
you blessed of My Father ,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world :
*
for I was hungry and you gave Me food ;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink ;
I was a stranger and you took Me in ;
*
I was naked and you clothed Me ;
I was sick and you visited Me ;
I was in prison and you came to Me .'
* "
Then the righteous will answer Him ,
saying , '
Lord ,
when did we see You hungry and feed You ,
or thirsty and give You drink ?
*
When did we see You a stranger and take You in ,
or naked and clothe You ?
*
Or when did we see You sick ,
or in prison ,
and come to You ?'
* "
And the King will answer and say to them , '
Assuredly I say to you ,
inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers ,
you did it to Me .'
* "
Then He will also say to those on the left , '
Depart from Me ,
you cursed ,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels :
*
for I was hungry and you gave Me no food ;
I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink ;
*
I was a stranger and you did not take Me in ,
naked and you did not clothe Me ,
sick and in prison and you did not visit Me .'
* "
Then they also will answer ,
saying , '
Lord ,
when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison ,
and we did not minister to You ?'
* "
Then He will answer them ,
saying , '
Assuredly I say to you ,
inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these ,
neither did you do it to Me .'
* "
And these shall go away into eternal punishment ,
but the righteous into eternal life ."
