Matthew 13:41-58

411The Son of Man 2will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom 3all 4stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and they 5will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place 6there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 437Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 8The one who has ears, 9let him hear.

44“10The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from 11joy over it he goes and 12sells everything that he has, and buys that field.

45“Again, 13the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, 46and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold everything that he had and bought it.

47“Again, 14the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 48and when it was filled, they pulled it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. 49So it will be at 15the 16end of the age: the angels will come forth and remove the wicked from among the righteous, 50and they 17will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place 18there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51“Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes.” 52And 19Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure new things and old.”

5320When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there. 54And 21He came to 22His hometown and 23began teaching them in their synagogue, with the result that 24they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man acquire this wisdom and these 25miraculous powers? 55Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is 26His mother not called Mary, and His 27brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56And 28His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man acquire all these things?” 57And they took 29offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “30A prophet is not dishonored except in his 31hometown and in his own household.” 58And He did not do many 32miracles there because of their unbelief.
