Genesis 32:22-30
English Standard Version
Jacob Wrestles with God
22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children,[a] and crossed the ford of the (A)Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And (B)a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, (C)“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, (D)“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[b] for (E)you have striven with God and (F)with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, (G)“Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,[c] saying, “For (H)I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”

English Standard Version
34 Then (A)the King will say to (B)those on his right, ‘Come, you (C)who are blessed by my Father, (D)inherit (E)the kingdom (F)prepared for you (G)from the foundation of the world. 35 For (H)I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you (I)gave me drink, (J)I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 (K)I was naked and you clothed me, (L)I was sick and you (M)visited me, (N)I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And (O)the King will answer them, (P)‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these (Q)my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’
