In the New Hampshile debate 9/26 on MSNBC, John Edwards answered under the 10 second rule:
It appears many times in the Bible, "what you do to the least of those, you do unto me."

It appears at about 7:30 in the above video.
Now this happens to be my favorite Bible quote. It is the radical Jesus. It is called The Final Judgment or The Sheep and the Goats.
Matthew 25:

The Final Judgment
... 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, [6] you did it to me.’
Lets see the whole thing
It is Beautiful.
Matthew 25 :
The Final Judgment
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then 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. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, [6] you did it to me.’
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

So i have to know from the Edwards people. Why doesnt John take up the issue of the homeless in america? Why doesnt he speak up on dropping the debt and ending world hunger? Why doesnt he go to a prison and talk about prison reform?
John we could use your help at food not bombs. I know a church in Cambridge MA. You can chop some vegtables for a church meal for the hungry if you are too pro bombs for us. I am quite sure you can find a meal to work at anywhere you go.
Please don't ignore the homeless in the debates.
