Matthew 13:47-50

The Parable of the Net

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is ¹like a net that was thrown into the sea and ²gathered fish of every kind.

48 When it was full, ³men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.

49 So it will be at ⁴the close of the age. The angels will come out and ⁵separate the evil from the righteous

50 ⁶and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place ⁷there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
