Commentary on Matthew 25:32

Theological / Devotional

All nations. See Rev. 20:11-15; GC 665, 666.

Separate them. See on ch. 13:24-30, 47-50.

As a shepherd. Directly or indirectly, Jesus often compared Himself to a shepherd and His people to sheep (see Eze. 34:11-17; Zech. 13:7; Matt. 15:24; 18:11-14; Luke 15:1-7; John 10:1-16).

Sheep. Palestinian sheep were usually white, and the goats black (Ps. 147:16; Isa. 1:18; Eze. 27:18; cf. S. of Sol. 4:1, 2). They were generally tended together by the same shepherd (Gen. 30:32, 33).
