When the Son of Man comes in His glory & all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him & He will separate them one from another,as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the king will say to those on His right hand,"Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry & you gave Me food; I was thirsty & you gave Me drink; I was a stranger & you took  Me in; I was naked & you clothed Me; I was sick & you visited Me; I was in prison & you came to Me. Then the righteous will answer Him saying, " Lord, when did we see You hungry & feed You, or thirsty & give You drink?....a stranger & invite You in?..naked & clothe You?..sick or in prison & visited You?" The King will answer, "Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it TO ONE of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."     Then He will say to those on His left hand, " Depart from Me you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil & his angels : for I was hungry & you gave me no food, I was thirsty & you gave Me no drink,...a stranger & you did not take Me in, naked & you did not clothe Me, sick & in prison & you did not visit Me."  Then they will also answer Him saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry, thirsty, a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, & did not minister to You?" He will answer saying, "Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me." And these will go into everlasting punishment but the righteous into eternal life.     Matthew 25:31-46
