Then the King will say
to those on His right hand,
'Come, you blessed of My Father,
inherit the kingdom
prepared for you
from the foundation of the world:
for
I was hungry and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison and you came to Me.'

"Then the righteous
will answer Him,
saying, 'Lord,
when did we see You hungry
and feed You,
or thirsty and give You drink?
When did we see You a stranger
and take You in,
or naked and clothe You?
Or when did we see You sick,
or in prison, and come to You?'
And the King will answer
and say to them,
'Assuredly, I say to you,
inasmuch as you did it
to one of the least of these
My brethren,
you did it to Me.'

Matthew 25:34-40
