Matt 25:36
&
naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
Matt 25:37

Matt 25:42
&
for I was hungry, and you gave Me {nothing} to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
Matt 25:43
&
I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'
