All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will separate them from each other, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right side. But the goats he will put on his left.\\n\\u201cThen the king will say to those on his right, \\u2018Come, you who will receive good things from my Father. Inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you before the world began. I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you gave me clothes to wear. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you visited me.\\u2019\\n\\u201cThen those who are righteous will reply to him, \\u2018Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and give you clothes to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?\\u2019\\n\\u201cThen the king will reply to them, \\u2018I assure you that when you have done it for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.\\u2019\\n\\u201cThen he will say to those on his left, \\u2018Get away from me, you who will receive terrible things. Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you didn\\u2019t give me food to eat. I was thirsty and you didn\\u2019t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger and you didn\\u2019t welcome me. I was naked and you didn\\u2019t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn\\u2019t visit me.\\u2019\\n\\u201cThen they will reply, \\u2018Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn\\u2019t do anything to help you?\\u2019 Then he will answer, \\u2018I assure you that when you haven\\u2019t done it for one of the least of these, you haven\\u2019t done it for me.\\u2019 And they will go away into eternal punishment. But the righteous ones will go into eternal life.\\u201d\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Tamara Gak\\n \\nThe post Sheep and Goats – Matthew 25:31-46 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
