menu_book Verse in Context

46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,

48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
