Separating sheep and goats

Mat 25:31–46

25:31 Separating sheep and goats

31 “But when the son of humanity comes in his glory, and all the messengers with him,[ref] then he’ll sit down on his splendid throne[ref] 32 and everyone from all around the world will be gathered together in front of him. He’ll sort them into separate groups, just like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 Then the sheep will be standing on his right, and the goats on his left, 34 and the king will say to the sheep on his right, ‘Come here, you folks who’ve been blessed by my father. Now you’ll inherit the kingdom that’s been made ready for you since the creation of the world, 35 because I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was an outsider and you welcomed me in, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to see me.’ 37 Then those godly people will ask, ‘Master, when did we ever feed you when you were hungry, or give you a drink when you were thirsty? 38 And when did we welcome you in when you were an outsider, or clothe you when you were naked? 39 And when did we come to see you in prison?’ 40 Then the king will answer them, ‘I can assure you that whenever you did it to one of the least significant of these brothers and sisters of mine, then you did it to me.’

41 “Then the king will also speak to the ones on his left, ‘Get away from me you cursed people. You’ll go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his messengers, 42 because I was hungry and you didn’t give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you didn’t give me anything to drink, 43 I was an outsider and you didn’t welcome me in, I was naked and you didn’t give me any clothes, and I was sick and in prison and you never visited me.’ 44 Then they’ll also respond, ‘Master, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty, or a stranger or naked, or sick or in prison, and we didn’t help you?’ 45 ‘I can assure you,’ the king answered, ‘that whenever you failed to help even one of the least significant of these others, you failed to serve me.’ 46 Then this group will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the guiltless ones will receive eternal life.”[ref]

31 But whenever the son of_ the _man may _come in the glory of _him, and all the messengers with him, then he _will _be _sitting _down on throne of _glory of _him.

32 And all the nations will _be _being _gathered _together before him, and will _be _setting _apart them from one _another, as the shepherd is _setting _apart the sheep from the goats.

33 And the sheep will _be _standing on _one _hand on the_right of _him, on _the _other _hand the goats on the_left.

34 Then the king will _be _saying to _the ones on the_right of _him:
Come you _all having _been _blessed of _the father of _me, inherit the kingdom having _been _prepared for _you _all from the_foundation of_the_world.

35 For/Because I _hungered and you _all _gave to _me to _eat, I _thirsted and you _all _gave_ me _to _drink, I _was a_stranger and you _all _brought_ me _in,

36 naked and you _all _clothed me, I _ailed and you _all _visited me, I _was in prison and you _came to me.

37 Then the righteous will _be _answering to _him saying:
master, when we _saw you hungering and we _fed, or thirsting and we _gave _to _drink?

38 And when we _saw you a_stranger and we _brought _in, or naked and we _clothed?

39 And when we _saw you sick or in prison, and we _came to you?

40 And the king answering, will _be _saying to _them:
Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, because/for as _much _as you _all _did it to_ the least _one of _these the brothers of _me, you _all _did it to _me.

41 Then he_˓will˒_ also _be _saying to _the ones on the_left:
Be _going from me having _been _cursed ones into the the eternal fire, which having _been _prepared for _the devil and the messengers of _him.

42 For/Because I _hungered and you _all_ not _gave to _me to _eat, and I _thirsted and not you _all _gave_ me _to _drink,

43 I _was a_stranger and you _all_ not _brought _in me, naked and you _all_ not _clothed me, sick and in prison and you _all_ not _visited me.

44 Then they ˓will˒_ also _be _answering saying:
master, when we _saw you hungering, or thirsting, or a_stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we_ not _served unto _you?

45 Then he _will _be _answering to _them saying:
Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, because/for as _much _as you _all_ not _did it to_ of _these the _one least, neither you _all _did it to _me.

46 And these will _be _going _away into eternal punishment, but the the_righteous into eternal life.
