Matthew 25:32-41 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

32. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.

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

35. For I was hungryand you gave Me something to eat;I was thirstyand you gave Me something to drink;I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36. I was naked and you clothed Me;I was sick and you took care of Me;I was in prison and you visited 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. When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or without clothes and clothe You?

39. When did we see You sick, or in prison, and visit You? ’

40. “And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

41. Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!
