Matthew 25 — Context

30

And put out the servant who is of no profit into the outer dark: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

31

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

32

And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

33

And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

34

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

35

For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;

36

I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.
