The phrase you’re referring to is from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew 25:40 (NIV): “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Meaning and Context:

• Context: This verse is part of Jesus’ teaching about the Final Judgment, where people are separated like a shepherd separates sheep from goats.
• Meaning: Jesus emphasizes the importance of kindness and compassion toward those who are vulnerable, marginalized, or in need (“the least of these”). Acts of mercy and love toward others are seen as acts done to Jesus Himself.
• Application: It encourages people to care for the poor, hungry, sick, imprisoned, and strangers, highlighting that such acts are not just social duties but spiritual ones.
