Matthew 25:44

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then {G5119} shall they {G846} also {G2532} answer {G611} him {G846}, saying {G3004}, Lord {G2962}, when {G4219} saw we {G1492} thee {G4571} an hungred {G3983}, or {G2228} athirst {G1372}, or {G2228} a stranger {G3581}, or {G2228} naked {G1131}, or {G2228} sick {G772}, or {G2228} in {G1722} prison {G5438}, and {G2532} did {G1247} not {G3756} minister {G1247} unto thee {G4671}?

Then they too will reply, `Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, a stranger, needing clothes, sick or in prison, and not take care of you?'

And they too will reply, ‘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 shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
