47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers in all kinds of fishes. 48 When it is full, men draw it to land, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels will come out and separate the bad from the good, 50 and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall go forth, and sever the bad from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 13:47 There are many in the Church, which notwithstanding are not of the Church, and therefore at length shall be cast out: but the full and perfect cleansing of them is deferred to the last day.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
