⁴⁷“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish^* of every kind, ⁴⁸which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down and^* collected the good fish^* into containers, but the bad they threw out. ⁴⁹Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous ⁵⁰and throw them into the fiery furnace.^s In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶And are not all his sisters with us? From where then did this man get all these things?” ⁵⁷And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown and in his own household.” ⁵⁸And he did not perform many miracles in that place because of their unbelief.
