- "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
- "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
- and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
- "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

- "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.
- All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
- He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
- "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
- For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
|
- 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, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
- 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
- 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
- "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
|
- I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
- "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
- When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
- When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
- "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
|
- "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
- for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
- I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'
- "Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'
- "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
|
- "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
- For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
- I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
- "They also will answer, '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?'
- "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

- "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

- "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
