Mateo 25:38

38 ¿Y cuándo te vimos huésped, y te recogimos? ¿ó desnudo, y te cubrimos?

Mateo 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.

Mateo 25:38 In-Context

36 Desnudo, y me cubristeis; enfermo, y me visitasteis; estuve en la cárcel, y vinisteis á mí.
37 Entonces los justos le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y te sustentamos? ¿ó sediento, y te dimos de beber?
38 ¿Y cuándo te vimos huésped, y te recogimos? ¿ó desnudo, y te cubrimos?
39 ¿O cuándo te vimos enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y vinimos á ti?
40 Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí lo hicisteis.
