Matteo 25:38

38 E quando ti abbiam veduto forestiere, e ti abbiamo accolto? o ignudo, e ti abbiam rivestito?

Matteo 25:38 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 25:38

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in?
&c.] As they had never seen him hungry and thirsty, in his own person, though he was both in the days of his flesh, and were ministered to, both by angels, and by good women out of their substance; so they had never seen him a stranger, and took him into their houses; yet they had, seen him hungry and thirsty, and as a stranger in his members, and had done these good offices to him in them, and to them for his sake:

or naked, and clothed thee?
for so Christ in person never was, until stripped of his raiment by the soldiers, and officers; but they had seen many of his poor saints without clothing, and had covered their nakedness.

Matteo 25:38 In-Context

36 Io fui ignudo, e voi mi rivestiste; io fui infermo, e voi mi visitaste; io fui in prigione, e voi veniste a me.
37 Allora i giusti gli risponderanno, dicendo: Signore, quando ti abbiam noi veduto aver fame, e ti abbiam dato a mangiare? ovvero, aver sete, e ti abbiam dato a bere?
38 E quando ti abbiam veduto forestiere, e ti abbiamo accolto? o ignudo, e ti abbiam rivestito?
39 E quando ti abbiam veduto infermo, o in prigione, e siamo venuti a te?
40 E il Re, rispondendo, dirà loro: Io vi dico in verità, che in quanto l’avete fatto ad uno di questi miei minimi fratelli, voi l’avete fatto a me.
