Matthew 13:47–58

Parable of the Dragnet

⁴⁷“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and ^qgathered some of every kind, ⁴⁸which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. ⁴⁹So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, ^rseparate the wicked from among the just, ⁵⁰and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

Parable of the Householder

⁵¹⁴Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?”

They said to Him, “Yes, ⁵Lord.”

⁵²Then He said to them, “Therefore every ⁶scribe instructed ⁷concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure ^sthings new and old.”

⁵³Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

Rejection at Nazareth

Mark 6:1–6

^54tWhen He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? ^55uIs this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And ^vHis brothers ^wJames, ⁸Joses, Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” ⁵⁷So they ^xwere offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, ^y“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” ⁵⁸Now ^zHe did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
