Minister - Servants.

Clarke's Matthew 25:44 Bible Commentary

Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, etc. - It is want of faith which in general produces hard-heartedness to the poor. The man who only sees with eyes of flesh is never likely to discover Christ in the person of a man destitute of the necessaries of life. Some pretend not to know the distressed; because they have no desire to relieve them; but we find that this ignorance will not avail them at the bar of God.

Wesley's Matthew 25:44 Bible Commentary

25:44 Then will they answer - So the endeavour to justify themselves, will remain with the wicked even to that day!
