Matthew 13:47-50

New Century Version

A Story of a Fishing Net

⁴⁷ “Also, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was put into the lake and caught many different kinds of fish. ⁴⁸ When it was full, the fishermen pulled the net to the shore. They sat down and put all the good fish in baskets and threw away the bad fish. ⁴⁹ It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil people from the good people. ⁵⁰ The angels will throw the evil people into the blazing furnace, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”
