Amplified Bible

Matthew 13:49-58 Amplified Bible (AMP)

49. So it will be at the close and consummation of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God)

50. And cast them [the wicked] into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.

51. Have you understood all these things [parables] taken together? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.

52. He said to them, Therefore every teacher and interpreter of the Sacred Writings who has been instructed about and trained for the kingdom of heaven and has become a disciple is like a householder who brings forth out of his storehouse treasure that is new and [treasure that is] old [the fresh as well as the familiar].

53. When Jesus had finished these parables (these comparisons), He left there.

54. And coming to His own country [Nazareth], He taught in their synagogue so that they were amazed with bewildered wonder, and said, Where did this Man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

55. Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary? And are not His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56. And do not all His sisters live here among us? Where then did this Man get all this?

57. And they took offense at Him [they were repelled and hindered from acknowledging His authority, and caused to stumble]. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.

58. And He did not do many works of power there, because of their unbelief (their lack of faith in the divine mission of Jesus).
