The Judgment of the Nations

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.(A) 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,(B) 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world,(C) 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,(D) 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’(E) 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’(F) 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels,(G) 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’(H) 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”(I)

El juicio final

31 Pero cuando el Hijo del Hombre venga en su gloria, y todos los ángeles con Él(A), entonces se sentará en el trono de su gloria(B); 32 y serán reunidas delante de Él todas las naciones; y separará a unos de otros, como el pastor separa las ovejas de los cabritos(C). 33 Y pondrá las ovejas a su derecha(D) y los cabritos a su izquierda(E). 34 Entonces el Rey dirá a los de su derecha: «Venid, benditos de mi Padre, heredad el reino preparado para vosotros(F) desde la fundación del mundo(G). 35 Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer(H); tuve sed, y me disteis de beber; fui forastero, y me recibisteis(I); 36 estaba desnudo, y me vestisteis(J); enfermo, y me visitasteis(K); en la cárcel, y vinisteis a mí(L)». 37 Entonces los justos le responderán, diciendo: «Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y te dimos de comer, o sediento, y te dimos de beber? 38 ¿Y cuándo te vimos como forastero, y te recibimos, o desnudo, y te vestimos? 39 ¿Y cuándo te vimos enfermo, o en la cárcel, y vinimos a ti?». 40 Respondiendo el Rey, les dirá(M): «En verdad os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis a uno de estos hermanos míos, aun a los más pequeños, a mí lo hicisteis(N)». 41 Entonces dirá también a los de su izquierda: «Apartaos de mí(O), malditos, al fuego eterno(P) que ha sido preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles(Q). 42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer, tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber; 43 fui forastero, y no me recibisteis; estaba desnudo, y no me vestisteis; enfermo, y en la cárcel, y no me visitasteis». 44 Entonces ellos también responderán, diciendo: «Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, o sediento, o como forastero, o desnudo, o enfermo, o en la cárcel, y no te servimos?». 45 Él entonces les responderá, diciendo: «En verdad os digo que en cuanto no lo hicisteis a uno de los más pequeños de estos, tampoco a mí lo hicisteis». 46 Y estos irán al castigo eterno(R), pero los justos a la vida eterna(S).
