THE JUDGMENT SCENE.

"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: 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; and

he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

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: 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; naked, and

ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye

came unto me.'

"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we thee

hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? And when saw we

thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? And

when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?' And the King

shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye

did it unto one of these my children, even these least, ye did it unto

me.'

"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: for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was

thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 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.' 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?' 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.' And these shall go away into eternal

punishment: but the righteous into eternal life."
