Matthew 25:30-40

30 "Throw out the worthless slave into 1the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The Judgment

31 "But when 2the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then 3He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 "All the nations will be 4gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, 5as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 and He will put the sheep 6on His right, and the goats 7on the left.
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, 8inherit the kingdom prepared for you 9from the foundation of the world.
35 'For 10I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; 11I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36 12naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you 13visited Me; 14I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
38 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
39 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "15The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, 16to the extent * that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
