The Kingdom Parable Of The Net
• Matthew 13:47–50 (NIV) — 47 “Once again, the kingdom of
heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and
caught all kinds of fish.
48 When it was full, the fishermen
pulled it up on the shore.
Then they sat down and collected
the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.
49 This is
how it will be at the end of the age.
The angels will come and
separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them
into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth
