5065. The same particular actions occur three times in the verses quoted above, but since, as has been stated, an explanation of such actions has appeared already, there is no need to deal with them individually, that is, to explain what each word means in the internal sense. All that needs to be stated here is the meaning of the reply given both by those on the right and by those on the left - that they had not seen Him hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick, or in prison. Then the meaning of 'the King' needs to be given, also the meanings of 'the righteous' and 'eternal life', and the meanings of 'him who is cursed' and 'eternal fire'.
