11.21.2020 Gospel Matthew Chapter 25

When the Son of man comes seated on the clouds of heaven, surrounded by the angels and He takes His place on the throne of glory, He will gather all the nations of the world before Him and He will separate them as a shepherd separates sheep from goats--the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left. Then He will say to those on his right, "Come receive the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me to drink. I was sick and you visited me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was in prison and you stood by me."

And then they will say to him, "When Lord did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you, or sick and visit you, or in prison and stand by you?" And he will say to them, "Whenever you did it to one of these little ones, the least, you did it to me." And then He will turn to those on his left. And He will say, "Depart from me into the fire prepared for you and for Satan and all his angels. For I was hungry and you did not give me to eat, and I was thirsty and you gave me no drink. I was a visitor and you did not welcome me. I was naked and you did not clothe me. I was sick and you did not care for me. I was in prison and you did not stand by me."

And they will say to him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty? When did we see you naked or when did we see you as a visitor? When did we see you sick? When did we see you in prison and not serve you?" And He will say to them, "Whenever you fail to do it to one of these least, you fail to do it to me." And then He will say to those on His right, "Now enter into the kingdom prepared for you." And to those on His left, "Depart from me into the eternal fire, with the devil and all his angels."
