The judgment of nations
31—When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on the throne of his Glory. 32All the nations will be brought before him, and as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33so will he do with them, placing the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34—The King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, blessed of my Father! Take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. 35For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. 36I was a stranger and you welcomed me into your house. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to see me.’
37—Then the good people will ask him: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food; thirsty and give you drink, 38or a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to see you?’ 40The King will answer, ‘Truly, I say to you: whenever you did this to these little ones who are my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.’
41—Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go, cursed people, out of my sight into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels! 42For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me into your house; I was naked and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
44—They, too, will ask: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, naked or a stranger, sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45The King will answer them: ‘Truly, I say to you: whatever you did not do for one of these little ones, you did not do for me.’
46—And these will go into eternal punishment, but the just to eternal life.
