Matthew 13:39-58

39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all who cause sin and those guilty of lawlessness.

42They will throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Let anyone who has ears listen.

44“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

45“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46When he found one priceless pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.

47“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,

48and when it was full, they dragged it ashore, sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw out the worthless ones.

49So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, separate the evil people from the righteous,

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

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

52“Therefore,” he said to them, “every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom treasures new and old.”

53When Jesus had finished these parables, he left there.

54He went to his hometown and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

55Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56And his sisters, aren’t they all with us? So where does he get all these things?”

57And they were offended by him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.”

58And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
