(178) The Sheep and the Goats Separated

Matthew 25:31-46

      [31]“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. [32]And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. [33]He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. [34]Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35]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; [36]naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me.’

      [37]“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, 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? [39]Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’

      [40]“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

      [41]“Then He will also say to those on His left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed ones, into the everlasting fire prepared 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; [43]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.’

      [44]“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?’

      [45]“Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

      [46]“And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.”


(178) The Sheep and the Goats Separated

Matthew 25:31-46, KJV

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
