Matthew 13

47 Ref Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Ref which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.

49 Ref So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,

50 Ref and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

51 Ref Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.

52 Ref And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

53 Ref And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

54 Ref And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

55 Ref Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

57 Ref And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58 Ref And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
