‏ Matthew 25:40

25:40  a my brothers and sisters: This expresses either Jesus’ solidarity with his disciples (see 10:42  b; 18:1-14  c; Gal 6:10  d) or Jesus’ solidarity with humanity in general, irrespective of the faith of the one being helped (see Matt 6:1-4  e; 25:43  f; Prov 19:17  g). The use of brothers and sisters points to the first interpretation (Matt 12:46-50  h; 18:15-35  i; 23:8  j; 28:10  k) but does not invalidate social responsibility for other people in general (see Luke 10:30-37  l).
