SCRIPTURE

"for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;" — Matthew 25:42 (ASV)

No meat (ουκ εδωκατε μο φαγειν). You did not give me anything to eat. The repetition of the negative ου in 42 and 43 is like the falling of clods on the coffin or the tomb. It is curious the surprise here shown both by the sheep and the goats. Some sheep will think that they are goats and some goats will think that they are sheep.
