Bible Note: Read Matthew 25:31-46, where in the parable of the sheep and the goats, the deciding factor in judgement is how the individual has treated "these brothers of mine". It is the same as in the passage you quoted. In the impending Final Judgement coming swiftly upon Israel in the first century, it would be evident that those who were merciful to the disciples were followers of Jesus (sheep), and any who mistreated or ignored his disciples were to witness God's wrath (goats). |
