Matthew Chapter 25: 38,39,40  " When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you?  When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?'  The King will reply, "I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!'
