Context — The Sheep and the Goats

30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.

32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. 34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Matthew 25:32 Summary

This verse, Matthew 25:32, tells us that when Jesus returns, He will gather all nations before Him and separate people into two groups, like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. This means that Jesus will judge each person and determine whether they are a follower of Him or not, as seen in John 3:36 and Revelation 20:12-15. Those who have put their faith in Jesus will be blessed and receive eternal life, while those who have rejected Him will face eternal separation from God, as described in Matthew 25:41-46 and Revelation 21:8. By putting our trust in Jesus and following Him, we can be sure that we are one of His sheep and will be blessed when He returns, as mentioned in John 10:27-30 and 1 John 5:13.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for Jesus to separate people like a shepherd separates sheep from goats?

This refers to the judgment of nations, where Jesus will distinguish between believers and unbelievers, as described in Matthew 25:32, similar to the separation of the wicked from the righteous in Ezekiel 34:17-22 and Matthew 13:49.

Will this separation happen at the end of time or during our lifetime?

According to the Bible, this separation will occur when Jesus returns in glory, as stated in Matthew 25:31, which is often referred to as the Second Coming or the Day of the Lord, also mentioned in Acts 1:11 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

How can we know if we are considered 'sheep' or 'goats' in God's eyes?

The Bible teaches that those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him are considered His sheep, as seen in John 10:27-30, while those who reject Him are considered goats, as mentioned in Matthew 25:41-46, and will face eternal separation from God, as described in Revelation 20:15.

Is this verse talking about individual salvation or a judgment of nations?

While individual salvation is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith, as seen in Romans 10:9-10 and Ephesians 2:8-9, Matthew 25:32 is specifically referring to the judgment of nations, where Jesus will evaluate how each nation has treated His people, as mentioned in Matthew 25:40, and will separate them accordingly, as described in Matthew 25:33.

Trapp's Commentary on Matthew 25:32

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: Ver. 32. And before him shall be gathered all] Then shall Adam see all his nephews at once; none shall be excused for absence at this general assizes, none shall appear by a proxy, all shall be compelled to come in and hear their sentence; which may be, as some conceive, a long while adoing. It may be made evident (saith one) from Scripture and reason, that this day of Christ’ s kingly office in judging all men shall last haply longer than his private administration now (wherein he is less glorious) in governing the world. Things shall not be suddenly shuffled up at last day, as some imagine. (Mr Shepeard’ s Sincere Convert, p. 87.) And he shall separate them] Before he hears their causes; which is an argument of singular skill in the Judge; it being the course of other judges to proceed, Secundum allegata et probata. accoprding to their deeds. But he shall set men’ s sins in order before their eyes, Psalms 50:21, with items of the particulars.

Ellicott's Commentary on Matthew 25:32

(32) Before him shall be gathered all nations.—Better, all the nations, or even better, perhaps, all the Gentiles. The word is that which, when used, as here, with the article, marks out, with scarcely an exception, the heathen nations of the world as distinguished from God’s people Israel (as, e.g., in Romans 15:11-12; Ephesians 2:11). The word, thus taken, serves as the key to the distinctive teaching that follows. We have had in this chapter, (1) in the Wise and Foolish Virgins, the law of judgment for all members of the Church of Christ; (2) in the Talents, that for all who hold any office or ministry in the Church: now we have (3) the law by which those shall be judged who have lived and died as heathens, not knowing the name of Christ, and knowing God only as revealed in Nature or in the law written in their hearts. Every stage in what follows confirms this interpretation. As a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.—Elsewhere the shepherd’s work is the symbol of protective, self-sacrificing love, and, as such, our Lord had emphatically claimed for Himself the title of the Good Shepherd (John 10:14). Here we are reminded that even the shepherd has at times to execute the sentence of judgment which involves separation. The “right” hand and the “left” are used, according to the laws of what we might almost call a natural symbolism, as indicating respectively good and evil, acceptance and rejection.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Matthew 25:32

Verse 32. All nations] Literally, all the nations - all the Gentile world; the Jews are necessarily included, but they were spoken of in a particular manner in the preceding chapter. He shall separate them] Set each kind apart by themselves. As a shepherd divideth, c.] It does not appear that sheep and goats were ever penned or housed together, though they might feed in the same pasture yet even this was not done but in separate flocks; so Virgil, Eclog. vii. v. 2. Compulerantque greges Corydon et Thyrsis in unum; Thyrsis OVES, Corydon distentas lacte CAPELLAS. "Thyrsis and Corydon drove their flocks together: Thyrsin his sheep; and Corydon his goats, their udders distended with milk." These two shepherds had distinct flocks, which fed in the same pasture, but separately; and they are only now driven together, for the convenience of the two shepherds, during the time of their musical contest.

Cambridge Bible on Matthew 25:32

31–46. The Day of Judgment 32. all nations] Either (1) all the nations of the world, including the Jews; or (2) all the Gentiles. The almost invariable use of ôὰἔ ?èíç to signify the Gentiles; the unconsciousness of service to Christ shewn by just and unjust alike; the simplicity of the standard proposed by the Judge, favour the second interpretation. On the other hand the special warning to the Apostles, and to the Jewish race, in the previous parts of the discourse render it probable that Jews and Christians are not excluded from this picture of the judgment. The unconsciousness of the judged may be referred not to ignorance of Christ, but to unconsciousness that in relieving the distressed they were actually relieving Christ. The simplicity of the standard may be intended to include what is called “natural” religion, as well as revealed religion. The nations are judged by a standard of justice which all recognise. (Read Romans 1:18-20; Romans 2:9-16.) as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats] “The sheep and goats are always seen together under the same shepherd and in company; yet they never trespass on the domain of each other.… When folded together at night they may always be seen gathered in distinct groups; and so, round the wells they appear instinctively to classify themselves apart, as they wait for the troughs to be filled.”—Tristram, Natural History of the Bible, pp. 89, 90. The goat was not in evil repute in the East, as contrasted with the sheep; on the contrary, the he-goat was a symbol of dignity, so that the point of analogy is merely the separation between the sheep and the goats.
