“When the Son of Man
comes in his glory, and
all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32All
the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people
one from
another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he
will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34Then
the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are
blessed by my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world; 35for
I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me
something to
drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you
gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison
and you
visited me.’ 37Then the righteous
will answer him, ‘Lord, when was
it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you
something
to drink? 38And when was it that
we saw you a stranger and welcomed
you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39And when was it that
we saw
you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40And the king will
answer
them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of
these who
are members of my family, you did it to me.’ 41Then he will say to
those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the
eternal
fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry and
you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I
was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give
me clothing,
sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44Then they also will
answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or
naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ 45Then he
will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one
of the
least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46And these will go away
into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
