Matthew 25:41
Compare all
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, ‘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:  
42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no 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 answer1 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, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ainasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’  
46 And athese will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Matthew 25:41

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, etc.—As for you on the left hand, ye did nothing for Me. I came to you also, but ye knew Me not: ye had neither warm affections nor kind deeds to bestow upon Me: I was as one despised in your eyes." "In our eyes, Lord? We never saw Thee before, and never, sure, behaved we so to Thee." "But thus ye treated these little ones that believe in Me and now stand on My right hand. In the disguise of these poor members of Mine I came soliciting your pity, but ye shut up your bowels of compassion from Me: I asked relief, but ye had none to give Me. Take back therefore your own coldness, your own contemptuous distance: Ye bid Me away from your presence, and now I bid you from Mine—Depart from Me, ye cursed!"
