When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?

The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

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;

for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
