⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind, ⁴⁸which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out. ⁴⁹Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just, ⁵⁰and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord. ⁵²And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man that is a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

⁵³And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence. ⁵⁴And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power? ⁵⁵Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this man all these things? ⁵⁷And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house. ⁵⁸And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
