* "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory , and all the holy angels with him , then he will sit on the throne of his glory . * Before him all the nations will be gathered , and he will separate them one from another , as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats . * He will set the sheep on his right hand , but the goats on the left . * Then the King will tell those on his right hand , 'Come , 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 to eat . 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 a drink ? * When did we see you as a stranger , and take you in ; or naked , and clothe you ? * When did we see you sick , or in prison , and come to you ?' * "The King will answer them , 'Most certainly I tell you , inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers {The word for "brothers " here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters " or "siblings ."}, you did it to me .' * Then he will say also to those on the left hand , 'Depart from me , you cursed , into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels ; * for I was hungry , and you didn 't give me food to eat ; I was thirsty , and you gave me no drink ; * I was a stranger , and you didn 't take me in ; naked , and you didn 't clothe me ; sick , and in prison , and you didn 't visit me .' * "Then they will also answer , saying , 'Lord , when did we see you hungry , or thirsty , or a stranger , or naked , or sick , or in prison , and didn 't help you ?' * "Then he will answer them , saying , 'Most certainly I tell you , inasmuch as you didn 't do it to one of the least of these , you didn 't do it to me .' * These will go away into eternal punishment , but the righteous into eternal life ."
