Matthew 13:47-50

The Kingdom in Parables: Hearing, Hiddenness, Growth, Worth, and Judgment

Matthew moves from public parabolic teaching beside the lake, to private explanation with the disciples, to more kingdom parables, to fulfillment of hidden speech, to further private explanation, to parables of kingdom worth and final judgment, to the disciples’ responsibility as trained scribes, and finally to hometown rejection.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48 When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.

49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
