Matthew 13:47-52

Christian Standard Bible

The Parable of the Net

⁴⁷ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,^{(A) 48} and when it was full, they dragged it ashore, sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw out the worthless ones. ⁴⁹ So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, separate the evil people from the righteous,^{(B) 50} and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.^(C)

The Storehouse of Truth

⁵¹ “Have you understood all these things?”^[a]

They answered him, “Yes.”

⁵² “Therefore,” he said to them, “every teacher of the law^[b] who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom treasures new and old.”^(D)
