Matthew 28:18-20
Matthew 25:34
4 Then the King will say to those on His right
hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and
you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave
Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me
in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was
sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you
came to Me.’
• 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and
feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 40 And
the King will answer them ‘Assuredly, I say to
you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least
of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
