Matthew 25:31-46

Darby Translation

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,

³² and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

³³ and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:

³⁵ for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.

³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?

³⁸ and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?

³⁹ and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?

⁴⁰ And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁴² for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;

⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.

⁴⁴ Then shall *they* also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into eternal punishment, and the righteous into life eternal.
