Which book records Jesus saying, "I was in prison and you came to visit me" as a mark of true discipleship?

Correct Answer

A) Matthew

This powerful statement is found in Matthew 25:36, where Jesus speaks about the final judgment. He reveals that serving “the least of these”—including those in prison—is equivalent to serving Him. It's not just a call to kindness, but a profound reflection of Christ-centered compassion. Visiting the imprisoned becomes a visible expression of invisible love for Jesus Himself.
