Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

"Then He will also say to those on the left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

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.'
