saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee?
(39)And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? (40)And
the King will answer and say to them: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as
ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it to me.
(41)Then will he say also to those on the left hand: Depart from me,
accursed, into the everlasting fire; prepared for the Devil and his
angels. (42)For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was
thirsty, and ye did not give me drink; (43)I was a stranger, and ye
did not take me in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; sick, and in
prison, and ye did not visit me.
(44)Then will they also answer, saying: Lord, when saw we thee
hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
prison, and did not minister to thee? (45)Then will he answer them,
saying: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the

(46)And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the
righteous into everlasting life.

(6)And Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
(7)there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious
ointment, and poured it on his head as he reclined at table. (8)And
his disciples seeing it were displeased, saying: To what purpose is
this waste? (9)For this might have been sold for much, and given to
the poor. (10)And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why trouble ye the
woman? For she wrought a good work upon me. (11)For the poor ye have
always with you; but me ye have not always. (12)For she, in pouring
this ointment on my body, did it to prepare me for burial. (13)Verily
I say to you, wherever this good news shall be preached in the whole
world, this also that she did shall be told, for a memorial of her.
(14)Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief
