Matthew 25:34-40

34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, ¹inherit the kingdom prepared for you ²from the foundation of the world.

35 'For ³I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; ⁴I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

36 ⁵naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you ⁶visited Me; ⁷I 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 "⁸The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, ⁹to the extent * that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
