Matthew 25
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
31 Ref But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:
32 Ref And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.
33 Ref And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
34 Ref Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:
35 Ref For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;
36 Ref I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.
37 Ref Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?
38 And when did we see you wandering, and take you in? or without clothing, and give it to you?
39 And when did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?
40 Ref And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
41 Ref Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:
42 Ref For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:
43 I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.
44 Ref Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?
45 Ref Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.
46 Ref And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

31 Ref But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
32 Ref and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
33 Ref and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Ref Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 Ref for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 Ref naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Ref Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 Ref And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, `even' these least, ye did it unto me.
41 Ref Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 Ref for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Ref Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Ref Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.
46 Ref And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
