Matthew 25:31-46
Jesus said to his disciples:
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
he will sit upon his glorious throne,
and all the nations will be assembled before him.
And he will separate them one from another,
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right,
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father.
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me,
ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me.’
Then the righteous will answer him and say,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’
And the king will say to them in reply,
‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Then he will say to those on his left,
‘Depart from me, you accursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
a stranger and you gave me no welcome,
naked and you gave me no clothing,
ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’
Then they will answer and say,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty
or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison,
and not minister to your needs?’
He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you,
what you did not do for one of these least ones,
you did not do for me.’
And these will go off to eternal punishment,
but the righteous to eternal life.”

Ang mga Tupa at ang mga Kambing
Darating ang Anak ng Tao sa kaniyang kaluwalhatian kasama ng mga banal na anghel. Kapag siya ay dumating, siya ay uupo sa trono ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian. Titipunin niya ang lahat ng mga bansa sa kaniyang harapan. Ihihiwalay niya sila sa isa't isa katulad ng paghihiwalay ng pastol sa mga tupa mula sa mga kambing. Itatalaga niya ang mga tupa sa kaniyang kanang kamay, ngunit ang mga kambing ay sa kaniyang kaliwa.
Pagkatapos ay sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kaniyang kanang kamay: Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama. Manahin ninyo ang paghaharing inihanda sa inyo mula pa nang itatag ang sanlibutan. Ito ay sapagkat nagutom ako at binigyan ninyo ako ng makakain. Nauhaw ako at binigyan ninyo ako ng maiiinom. Ako ay naging taga-ibang bayan at ako ay inyong pinatuloy. Ako ay naging hubad at dinamitan ninyo. Nagkasakit ako at ako ay inyong dinalaw. Nabilanggo ako at ako ay inyong pinuntahan.
Sasagot naman ang mga matuwid sa kaniya: Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom at pinakain ka namin o nauhaw at binigyan ng maiinom? Kailan ka namin nakitang naging taga-ibang bayan at pinatuloy ka o naging hubad at dinamitan ka namin? Kailan ka namin nakitang nagkasakit o nabilanggo at dumalaw kami sa iyo?
Sasagot ang hari sa kanila: Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Anuman ang ginawa ninyo sa isa sa pinakamaliit na kapatid ko, ginawa ninyo ito sa akin.
Sasabihin din niya roon sa mga nasa kaliwa: Lumayo kayo sa akin, mga isinumpa. Doon kayo sa apoy na walang hanggan na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kaniyang mga anghel. Ito ay sapagkat nagutom ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng makakain. Nauhaw ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng maiinom. Ako ay naging taga-ibang bayan ngunit hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy. Ako ay naging hubad ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinamitan. Nagkasakit ako at nabilanggo ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinalaw.
Sasagot din sila sa kaniya: Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom, o nauhaw, o naging taga-ibang bayan, o naging hubad o nabilanggo at hindi kami naglingkod sa iyo?
Siya ay sasagot sa kanila na sinasabi: Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Anuman ang hindi ninyo ginawa para sa isa sa mga pinakamaliit na ito, hindi rin ninyo ito ginawa sa akin.
Ang mga ito ay pupunta sa kaparusahang walang hanggan. Ngunit ang mga matuwid ay sa buhay na walang hanggan.
