Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secundum Matthǽum
Matt 25:31-46
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Cum vénerit Fílius hóminis in majestáte sua, et omnes Angeli cum eo, tunc sedébit super sedem majestátis suæ: et congregabúntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separábit eos ab ínvicem, sicut pastor ségregat oves ab hædis: et státuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinístris. Tunc dicet Rex his, qui a dextris ejus erunt: Veníte, benedícti Patris mei, possidéte parátum vobis regnum a constitutióne mundi. Esurívi enim, et dedístis mihi manducáre; sitívi, et dedístis mihi bíbere; hospes eram, et collegístis me; nudus, et cooperuístis me; infírmus, et visitástis me; in cárcere eram, et venístis ad me. Tunc respondébunt ei justi, dicéntes: Dómine, quando te vídimus esuriéntem, et pávimus te; sitiéntem, et dedimus tibi potum? quando autem te vídimus hóspitem, et collégimus te? aut nudum, et cooperúimus te? aut quando te vídimus infírmum, aut in cárcere, et vénimus ad te? Et respóndens Rex, dicet illis: Amen, dico vobis: quámdiu fecístis uni ex his frátribus meis mínimis, mihi fecístis. Tunc dicet et his, qui a sinístris erunt: Discédite a me, maledícti, in ignem ætérnum, qui parátus est diábolo et ángelis ejus. Esurívi enim, et non dedístis mihi manducáre; sitívi, et non dedístis mihi potum; hospes eram, et non collegístis me; nudus, et non cooperuístis me; infírmus et in cárcere, et non visitástis me. Tunc respondébunt ei et ipsi, dicéntes: Dómine, quando te vídimus esuriéntem, aut sitiéntem, aut hóspitem, aut nudum, aut infírmum, aut in cárcere, et non ministrávimus tibi? Tunc respondébit illis, dicens: Amen, dico vobis: Quámdiu non fecístis uni de minóribus his, nec mihi fecístis. Et ibunt hi in supplícium ætérnum: justi autem in vitam ætérnam.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 25:31-46
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: When the Son of Man shall come in His majesty, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory; and before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the king will say to those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave Me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; naked and you covered Me; sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ Then the just will answer Him, saying; ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You; or thirsty, and give you to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and take You in; or naked, and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And, answering, the king will say to them, ‘Amen I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these, the least of My brethren, you did it for Me.’ Then He will say to those on His left hand, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you did not give Me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they also will and say, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Amen I say to you, as long as you did not do it for one of these least ones, you did not do it for Me.’ And these will go into everlasting punishment, but the just into everlasting life.
