⁴⁷“Also, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea. It gathered all kinds of fish. ⁴⁸When it was full, they pulled it to the shore. Then they sat down, gathered the good fish into containers, and threw the bad ones away. ⁴⁹The same thing will happen at the end of time. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from people who have God’s approval. ⁵⁰Then the angels will throw the evil people into a blazing furnace. They will cry and be in extreme pain there.

⁵¹“Have you understood all of this?”

“Yes,” they answered.

⁵²So Jesus said to them, “That is why every student of the Scriptures who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a home owner. He brings new and old things out of his treasure chest.”

⁵³When Jesus had finished these illustrations, he left that place.

Nazareth Rejects Jesus—Mark 6:1–6; Luke 4:14–30

⁵⁴Jesus went to his hometown and taught the people in the synagogue in a way that amazed them. People were asking, “Where did this man get this wisdom and the power to do these miracles? ⁵⁵Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary? Aren’t his brothers’ names James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶And aren’t all his sisters here with us? Where, then, did this man get all this?” ⁵⁷So they took offense at him.

But Jesus said to them, “The only place a prophet isn’t honored is in his hometown and in his own house.”

⁵⁸He didn’t work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
