Least or last? Matthew 25:40

Matthew 25:40  The King wiill say truely I say to you, to the extent you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

Might least have been changed from the original last?

Here they are in Greek thanks to Strong's 1646 and 2078



Jesus as the good shepherd is last. Is he not?  We are here to help one another to accomplish God's will on Earth, are we not?
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to relieve orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Jesus promises that he will not lose a single one so it is our duty to work towards that goal.  If we do not do good to the last one it is the same as not doing good to Jesus as Jesus is behind the last one.

To believe it means "least" is promoting class distinctions which is so obviously against God's law.
