THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
Matthew 25:31-46
''When the Son of Man
comes in His glory, and all
the holy angels with Him,
then He will sit on the throne
of His glory. All the
nations will be gathered
before Him, and He will
separate them one from
another, as a shepherd
divides his sheep from the
goats. And He will set the
sheep on His right hand, but
the goats on the left.
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.’
“Then He will also say to
those on the left hand,
‘Depart from Me, you cursed,
into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his
angels: for I was hungry
and you gave Me no food; I
was thirsty and you gave Me
no drink; I was a stranger
and you did not take Me in,
naked and you did not clothe
Me, sick and in prison and
you did not visit Me.’
“Then they also will
answer Him, saying, ‘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 He will answer them,
saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to
you, inasmuch as you did not
do it to one of the least of
these, you did not do it to
Me.’ And these will go
away into everlasting
punishment, but the
righteous into eternal life.”
