Matthew 25:27-44
-
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
-
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
-
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
-
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
-
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
-
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
-
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
-
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
-
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
-
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
-
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
-
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
-
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
-
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
-
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
-
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
-
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
-
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
