'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' The parable of the sheep and goats presents the most direct statement in the Gospels about Christ's identification with the poor and vulnerable. The 'least of these my brethren' has been read as all suffering people (majority tradition), as itinerant Christian missionaries (some modern scholars), or as all who bear the image of God. The verse has been foundational for Christian social ethics, liberation theology, and the practical theology of service organizations — grounding care for the neighbor in encounter with Christ himself.
