Matthew 25:31-46

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

When The King Comes In Glory, Mankind Will Be Sent To Their Eternal Destinies

³¹ “Now when^[a] the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, at-that-time He will sit on the throne^[b] of His glory, ³² and all the nations will be gathered in front of Him. And He will separate them^[c] from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ And He will make the sheep stand^[d] on His right side, and the goats on the left side. ³⁴ Then the King will say to the ones on His right side, ‘Come, the ones having been blessed of ^[e] My Father— inherit the kingdom having been prepared for you since the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat. I thirsted, and you gave-a-drink-to Me. I was a stranger, and you brought^[f] Me in; ³⁶ naked^[g], and you clothed Me. I was sick, and you looked-after Me. I was in prison, and you came to Me’. ³⁷ Then the righteous ones will respond to Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering and we fed You, or thirsting and we gave-a-drink? ³⁸ And when did we see You a stranger and we brought You in, or naked and we clothed You? ³⁹ And when did we see You being sick or in prison and we came to You?’ ⁴⁰ And having responded, the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in-as-much-as^[h] you did it to one of the least of these My brothers^[i], you did it to Me’. ⁴¹ Then He will also say to the ones on the left side, ‘Depart from Me, the ones having been cursed, into the eternal fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry, and you did not give Me something to eat. I thirsted, and you did not give-a-drink-to Me. ⁴³ I was a stranger, and you did not bring Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not look after Me’. ⁴⁴ Then they also will respond, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not serve You?’ ⁴⁵ Then He will respond to them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to Me’. ⁴⁶ And these will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous ones to eternal life”.
