32 and all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from an other, as the pastor separateth the sheep from the goats:

33 and shall set the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at his left.

34 Then shall the King say to them that shall be at his right hand: Come ye blessed of my Father, possess you the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35 For I was an hungered, and you gave me to eat: I was a thirst, and you gave me to drink.

36 I was a stranger, and you took me in: naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.

37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee an hungered, and fed thee, a thirst, and gave thee drink?

38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? Or naked, and covered thee?

39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?

40 And the King answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be at his left hand: Get ye away from me you cursed into fire everlasting, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was an hungered, & you gave me not to eat, I was a thirst, & you gave me not to drink.

43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick, & in prison, and you did not visit me.

44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee an hungered, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, & did not minister to thee?

45 Then he shall answer them, saying, Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these lesser, neither did you it to me.

46 And these shall go into punishment everlasting: but the just, into life everlasting.
