Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your
inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." For I was thirsty and you
gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed
me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and
give you something to drink? When did we see you stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and
clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"
The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers
of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:34-40
