When The King Comes In Glory, Mankind Will Be Sent To Their Eternal Destinies
31 “Now when[a] the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, at-that-time He will sit on the throne[b] of His glory, 32 and all the nations will be gathered in front of Him. And He will separate them[c] from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And He will make the sheep stand[d] on His right side, and the goats on the left side. 34 Then the King will say to the ones on His right side, ‘Come, the ones having been blessed of [e] My Father— inherit the kingdom having been prepared for you since the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat. I thirsted, and you gave-a-drink-to Me. I was a stranger, and you brought[f] Me in; 36 naked[g], and you clothed Me. I was sick, and you looked-after Me. I was in prison, and you came to Me’. 37 Then the righteous ones will respond to Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering and we fed You, or thirsting and we gave-a-drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger and we brought You in, or naked and we clothed You? 39 And when did we see You being sick or in prison and we came to You?’ 40 And having responded, the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in-as-much-as[h] you did it to one of the least of these My brothers[i], you did it to Me’. 41 Then He will also say to the ones on the left side, ‘Depart from Me, the ones having been cursed, into the eternal fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry, and you did not give Me something to eat. I thirsted, and you did not give-a-drink-to Me. 43 I was a stranger, and you did not bring Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not look after Me’. 44 Then they also will respond, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not serve You?’ 45 Then He will respond to them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to Me’. 46 And these will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous ones to eternal life”.
The King Is Put To Death
26 And it came about that when Jesus finished all[j] these words, He said to His disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover [Feast] comes[k], and the Son of Man is handed-over so as to be crucified”.
The Priests Plot To Seize And Kill Jesus
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard[l] of the high priest, the one being called Caiaphas. 4 And they plotted in order that they might seize Jesus by deceit[m] and kill Him. 5 But they were saying, “Not during the Feast, in order that no uproar may take place among the people”.
Jesus Is Anointed With Oil In Preparation For His Burial
6 Now Jesus having come-to-be in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster-jar of very-expensive perfume[n]. And she poured it down upon His head while He was reclining-back [to eat]. 8 But having seen it, the disciples were indignant, saying, “For what purpose is this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for much and given to poor ones”. 10 But having known it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you causing troubles for the woman? For she worked a good work[o] for[p] Me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me. 12 For this one having put this perfume on My body did it so as to[q] prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this good-news is proclaimed in the whole world, what this one did will also be spoken for a memorial of her”.
