And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
