Matthew 25:31-40

Chapter 25

31

The Judgment of the Nations

When the Son of Man arrives in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on his throne of glory.
32

All the nations will be brought before him; and just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,

33

so will he do with them, placing the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34

The king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, blessed of my Father! Take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

35

For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.

36

I was a stranger, and you welcomed me into your home. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to see me.

37

Then the righteous will ask him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food; thirsty and give you something to drink;

38

or a stranger and welcome you; or naked and clothe you?

39

When did we see you sick or in prison and go to see you?’

40

The king will reply, ‘Truly, I say to you: just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’
