Matthew 13:47-52
Holman 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. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(C)
The Storehouse of Truth
51 “Have you understood all these things?”[a]
“Yes,” they told Him.
52 “Therefore,” He said to them, “every student of Scripture[b] instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who brings out of his storeroom what is new and what is old.”(D)
