LIX.
The Day of Judgment.
AND take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
2 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
3 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
4 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
5 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
6 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
7 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
8 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
9 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was, in prison, and ye came unto me.
10 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
11 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
12 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
13 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
14 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
15 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
16 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
17 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
18 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily, I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
19 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
