The Parable of the Net
"Again, the Kingdom of
Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some
fish of every kind, which, when it was filled, they
drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into
containers, but the bad they threw away. So will it be in the end of the
world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the
righteous, and will cast
them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing
of teeth." Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?"
They answered him, "Yes, Lord."
He said to them,
"Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple
in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings
out of his treasure new and old things."
Matthew 13:47-52
