31

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.

“When the Son of Man comes in his splendor, with all his angels with him, he will take his seat on his glorious throne,

32

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats,

33

He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

34

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Then the king will say to those at his right, ‘Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take possession of the kingdom which has been destined for you from the creation of the world.

35

For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,

For when I was hungry, you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me something to drink, when I was a stranger, you invited me to your homes,

36

I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

when I had no clothes, you gave me clothes, when I was sick, you looked after me, when I was in prison, you came to see me.’

37

Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?

Then the upright will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food, or thirsty, and give you something to drink?

38

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

When did we see you a stranger, and invite you home, or without clothing, and supply you with it?

39

When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’

When did we see you sick or in prison, and go to see you?’

40

And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

The king will answer, ‘I tell you, in so far as you did it to one of the humblest of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.’

41

Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Then he will say to those at his left, ‘Begone, you accursed people, to the everlasting fire destined for the devil and his angels!

42

For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,

For when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat, and when I was thirsty you gave me nothing to drink,

43

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’

when I was a stranger, you did not invite me home, when I had no clothes, you did not supply me, when I was sick and in prison, you did not look after me.’

44

And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’

Then they in their turn will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or in need of clothes, or sick, or in prison, and did not wait upon you?’

45

Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’

Then he will answer, ‘I tell you, in so far as you failed to do it for one of these people who are humblest, you failed to do it for me.’

46

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Then they will go away to everlasting punishment, and the upright to everlasting life.”
