Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the ruler will answer them, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' Matthew 25: 37-40
