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

47 "Again, the kingdom from heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea that gathered all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen hauled it ashore. Then they sat down, sorted the good fish into containers, and threw the bad ones away. 49 That is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, cull out the evil people from among the righteous ones, 50 and will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

51 "Do you understand all these things?" They told him, "Yes."

52 Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."
