Those on His left, the goats who aren’t described as having any of these qualities, are cast away. Jesus distinguishes these sheep by their care for others.Those who follow Jesus feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, and visit the sick and imprisoned ( Matthew 25:34-40). The Son of Man separates His sheep from the goats, putting His sheep on the right and the goats on the left. Jesus speaks to His disciples concerning the end of the age and in chapter 25, verse 31, He begins speaking about the Son of Man on the throne. This speech comes immediately after Jesus foretells the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in chapter 24. Toward the end of the Gospel of Matthew, in chapter 25, Jesus gives this long speech to His disciples.
