Grow With Me

Matthew 25:34–40

Jesus says what was done for the hungry, the stranger and the prisoner was done for him

35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you welcomed me;

36naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I 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?

40And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I tell you, as much as you did it to one of these least brothers of mine, you did it to me.’
