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 comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 Ref Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 Ref He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Ref Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Ref for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
36 Ref naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'
37 Ref "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
40 Ref "The King will answer them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, you did it to me.'
41 Ref Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
42 Ref for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43 I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
44 Ref "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
