Matthew 25:31-46 - The Judgment Of The Sheep And The Goats

31 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall all the nations be gathered together; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats: 33 and he shall place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34 Then shall the King say to those on his right-hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye received me hospitably: 36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye took care of me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When indeed saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 When indeed saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry, and ye gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me nothing to drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye did not clothe me: sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
