Matthew 25:39-46 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

39. And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’

40. And the king will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.’

41. Then he will also say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

42. For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me anything to drink,

43. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not care for me.’

44. Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?’

45. Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

46. And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
