Matthew 25 — Context

For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.

Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.
