Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visitedme: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? ornaked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and cameunto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, VerilyI say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one ofthe least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. * Matthew 25:34-40
