Jesus, What's up with this? I mean, you can't mean this. You don't...do you? I mean, it's not literal, right?
31"When the Son of Man
comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in
heavenly glory. 32All the
nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from
another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the
goats on his left.
34"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. 35For 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, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you
looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous
will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and
give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing
clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"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.'
41"Then he will say to
those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire
prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was
thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I 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.'
44"They also will
answer, '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?'
45"He will reply, 'I
tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you
did not do for me.'
