The Sheep and Goats

In the book of Matthew Chapter 25 verse 31-33 Jesus informs us that he will divide all nations into 2 distinct groups, The Sheep and the Goats he puts the Sheep on his right hand and the Goats on his left,  he says to the Sheep (verse 34) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom  prepared for you since the creation of the world.  35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,  I was sick and you looked after me,  I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Ther disciples not understanding asks when did they do those things for Jesus  (verse 37-39)  verse 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

So when we do those things for people Jesus considers it being a good deed unto himself.

Jesus scorns the Goats at his left hand verse 41-46

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,  you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.
