Matthew 13:47-53 New English Translation (NET)

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

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

49. It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous

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

51. “Have you understood all these things?” They replied, “Yes.”

52. Then he said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old.”

53. Now when Jesus finished these parables, he moved on from there.
