Matthew 13:47-52 - The Parable Of The Dragnet

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is similar to a drag-net [for fishing] that was cast into the lake and gathered all kinds [of fish]. 48 When it became full, the fishermen dragged it up onto the shore. Then they sat down and, [sorting their catch], placed the good [i.e., edible fish] into containers, but threw out the bad [i.e., inedible ones]. 49 At the end of the world it will be that same way. The angels will come and divide the sinful people from the ones who did what was right, 50 and throw the sinful ones into the fiery furnace where there will be crying and excruciating pain."

51 "Have you understood all these things?" [Jesus asked]. "Yes," they said to Him.

52 Then He said to them, "Therefore every expert in the law of Moses who has been made a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is similar to a [wealthy] homeowner who brought [both] new and old things out of his supply of goods."
