Gospel: Matthew 25:31-40

³¹ ”When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
³² Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
³³ and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
³⁴ Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
<sup>35</sup> for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
<sup>36</sup> I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
<sup>37</sup> Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?
³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?
³⁹ And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’
⁴⁰ And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’
