Closer to Our Lord

Mathew 25:31-46

The Sheep and the Goats

When the son of man comes in his glory, and all his angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate he people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on the right (good people) and the goats (not so good people) on the left.

Then the king will say to those on his right, (the sheep-good people) "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 hungry and you gave me something to eat, 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 (the sheep-the good people) 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 a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick and in prison and go visit you?

The king will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine (the people around the world), you did for me.

The he will say to those on his left (the goats-the not so good people), 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

They also will answer (the goats-the not so good people), 'Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

He will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these (the people around the world) you did not do for me."

Then they (the goats-not so good people) will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous (the sheep-good people) to eternal life.
