36 I was ^anaked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; ^bI 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 drink?

40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ^ainasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ^a‘Depart from Me, you cursed, ^binto the everlasting fire prepared for ^cthe devil and his angels:
