Matthew 25:31-40
The Final Judgment
31 “When the Son of Man
comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his
glorious throne. 32 Before him will be
gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from
another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the
goats on the left. 34 Then the
King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world. 35 For I
was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me
drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I
was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I
was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then
the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And
when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and
visit you?’ 40 And the King
will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least
of these my brothers,[a] you
did it to me.’

Psalm 24
The King of Glory
A Psalm of David.
24 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,[a]
the
world and those who dwell therein,
2 for he has founded it upon the
seas
and
established it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend the hill
of the Lord?
And who
shall stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure
heart,
who does
not lift up his soul to what is false
and does
not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness
from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the generation of those who
seek him,
who seek
the face of the God of Jacob.[b] Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O
gates!
And be
lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the
King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift
them up, O ancient doors,
that the
King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is
the King of glory! Selah
