The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
Matthew 25:31-46
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 “When
the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then
He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the
nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will
set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34
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: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me
food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took
Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was
sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37
“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You
drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take
You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did
we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will
answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did
it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41
“Then He will also say to those on the
left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared
for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry
and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43
I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe
Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44
“Then they also will answer Him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or
sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45
Then He will answer them, 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.’
46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment,
but the righteous into eternal life.”
