*
The Son of Man will be great and will come with all his holy angels .
Then he will sit on his throne like a king .
*
All the nations will be gathered in front of him .
He will put them in two groups like a man who takes care of sheep .
He puts the sheep on one side of him and he puts the goats on the other side of him .
*
The Son of Man will put people who are like the sheep at his right side .
He will put people who are like the goats at his left side .
*
Then the King will say to those who are at his right side , "
Come !
My Father has blessed you .
The kingdom was made ready for you when the world was first made .
Come into it now .
*
I was hungry .
You gave me food .
I was thirsty .
You gave me a drink .
I was a stranger .
You took me in .
*
I needed clothes .
You gave me clothes .
I was sick .
You came to visit me .
I was in prison .
You came to see me ."
*
Then the good people will ask him , "
Lord when did we see you hungry and give you food ?
When did we see you thirsty and give you a drink ?
*
When did we see you a stranger and take you in ?
When did we see you needing clothes and give you clothes ?
*
When did we see you sick or in prison and come to see you ?"
*
The King will answer them , "
I tell you the truth .
What you did for even the smallest of these people you did for me .
They are my brothers ."
*
Then he will say to those at the left side "
Go away from me .
You are cursed .
Go into the fire that burns for ever .
That fire has been made ready for the devil and his angels .
*
I was hungry .
You did not give me food .
I was thirsty .
You did not give me a drink .
*
I was a stranger .
You did not take me in .
I needed clothes .
You did not give me any clothes .
I was sick and in prison .
You did not come to see me ."
*
Then they will also ask , "
Lord ,
when did we see you hungry ,
or thirsty ,
or a stranger ,
or needing clothes ,
or sick ,
or in prison ,
and did not help you ?"
*
Then the King will answer them , "
I tell you the truth .
What you did not do for even the smallest of these ,
you did not do for me ."
*
And they will go away to be punished for ever .
But the good people will go away to live for ever .
