MATTHEW 13.47-50
THE PARABLE OF THE DRAGNET

The last parable in Matthew 13 is called the parable of the dragnet. It closes a series of seven parables with a comparison of the kingdom of God to a fishing scene. Let us read this passage.

Matthew 13.47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind;
48 when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad.
49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,
50 and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
