This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_25:44. Self-justification, by repelling the accusation as unwarranted.
καὶ αὐτοί ] they too; for their answer is in exact correspondence with that of the righteous.
πότε … καὶ οὐ διηκονής . σοι ] when saw we Thee hungry, etc., without ministering to Thee? What was the occasion on which, according to Thy accusation, we saw Thee hungry, and did not give Thee food? Such an occasion never occurred; as we have never seen Thee in such circumstances, so can we never have refused Thee our good services. In this self-justification it is assumed that if they had seen Him, they would have shown their love toward Him.
