Matthew 25:31-40

The Final Judgment

31 aWhen the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, bthen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him cwill be gathered dall the nations, and ehe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates fthe sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then gthe King will say to hthose on his right, ‘Come, you iwho are blessed by my Father, jinherit kthe kingdom lprepared for you mfrom the foundation of the world. 35For nI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ogave me drink, pI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 qI was naked and you clothed me, rI was sick and you svisited me, tI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And uthe King will answer them, vTruly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these wmy brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters
you did it to me.’


John 5:22-30

22 yFor the Father judges no one, but zhas given all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son, just as they aahonor the Father. abWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24Truly, truly, I say to you, acwhoever hears my word and adbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He aedoes not come into judgment, but afhas passed from death to life.

25Truly, truly, I say to you, agan hour is coming, and is now here, when ahthe dead will hear aithe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ajwill live. 26 akFor as the Father has life in himself, also he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27And he amhas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this, for anan hour is coming when aoall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and come out, apthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 aqI can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and army judgment is just, because asI seek not my own will atbut the will of him who sent me.
