Matthew 25:30-41

English Standard Version

³⁰ And ^(A)cast ^(B)the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place ^(C)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The Final Judgment

^31 (D)“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, ^(E)then he will sit on his glorious throne. ³² Before him ^(F)will be gathered ^(G)all the nations, and ^(H)he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates ^(I)the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. ³⁴ Then ^(J)the King will say to ^(K)those on his right, ‘Come, you ^(L)who are blessed by my Father, ^(M)inherit ^(N)the kingdom ^(O)prepared for you ^(P)from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For ^(Q)I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ^(R)gave me drink, ^(S)I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ^36 (T)I was naked and you clothed me, ^(U)I was sick and you ^(V)visited me, ^(W)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 ^(X)the King will answer them, ^(Y)‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ^(Z)my brothers,^[a] you did it to me.’

⁴¹ “Then he will say to those on his left, ^(AA)‘Depart from me, you ^(AB)cursed, into ^(AC)the eternal fire prepared for ^(AD)the devil and his angels.
