What Now?

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, 

Come, ye blessed of my Father, 

inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 ³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: 

I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: 

I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

 ³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: 

I was sick, and ye visited me: 

I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

 ³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

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

 ³⁹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

 ⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Inasmuch as ye have done it

 unto one of the least of these 

my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.

 ⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 

Depart from me, ye cursed, 

into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

 ⁴²For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: 

I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

 ⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: 

naked, and ye clothed me not: 

sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

 ⁴⁴Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

 ⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Inasmuch as ye did it not 

to one of the least of these, 

ye did it not to Me.

 ⁴⁶And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: 

but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 25
