\\nGospel MT 25:31 – 46
\\nJesus said to his disciples:
\\n“When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
\\nand all the angels with him,
\\nhe will sit upon his glorious throne,
\\nand all the nations will be assembled before him.
\\nAnd he will separate them one from another,
\\nas a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
\\nHe will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
\\nThen the king will say to those on his right,
\\n‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father.
\\nInherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
\\nFor I was hungry and you gave me food,
\\nI was thirsty and you gave me drink,
\\na stranger and you welcomed me,
\\nnaked and you clothed me,
\\nill and you cared for me,
\\nin prison and you visited me.\\u2019
\\nThen the righteous will answer him and say,
\\n‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
\\nor thirsty and give you drink?
\\nWhen did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
\\nor naked and clothe you?
\\nWhen did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?\\u2019
\\nAnd the king will say to them in reply,
\\n‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
\\nfor one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.\\u2019
\\nThen he will say to those on his left,
\\n‘Depart from me, you accursed,
\\ninto the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
\\nFor I was hungry and you gave me no food,
\\nI was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
\\na stranger and you gave me no welcome,
\\nnaked and you gave me no clothing,
\\nill and in prison, and you did not care for me.\\u2019
\\nThen they will answer and say,
\\n‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty
\\nor a stranger or naked or ill or in prison,
\\nand not minister to your needs?\\u2019
\\nHe will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you,
\\nwhat you did not do for one of these least ones,
\\nyou did not do for me.\\u2019
\\nAnd these will go off to eternal punishment,
\\nbut the righteous to eternal life.”
