Matthew 25:35-40

35 For ¹I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ²gave me drink, ³I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

36 ⁴I was naked and you clothed me, ⁵I was sick and you ⁶visited me, ⁷I 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?

38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?

39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? ’

40 And ⁸the King will answer them, ⁹‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ¹⁰my brothers, ^[a] you did it to me. ’
