“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and
feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger
and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in
prison and visit thee?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as
you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’”
Matthew 25: 37 –
