“For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:”
Matthew 25:35 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 25:35
I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat (ἐπείνασα καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, epeinasa kai edōkate moi phagein)—The aorist tense verbs indicate specific historical acts, not mere sentiment. The King identifies completely with His suffering people; ministry to the needy is ministry to Christ Himself.I was thirsty... a stranger (ἐδιψησα... ξένος, edipsēsa... xenos)—Xenos means foreigner, outsider, one without legal protection. Biblical hospitality (philoxenia, Romans 12:13) wasn't optional courtesy but covenant obligation, rooted in Israel's memory: 'You were strangers in Egypt' (Exodus 22:21).
