Matthew 13:47–58

⁴⁷“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind;^{* 48}when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. ⁴⁹So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous^{* 50}and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.^*

Treasures New and Old

⁵¹“Have you understood all this?” They answered, “Yes.” ⁵²And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.” ⁵³When Jesus had finished these parables, he left that place.^*

The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth

⁵⁴He came to his hometown and began to teach the people^t in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power?^{* 55}Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?^{* 56}And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?” ⁵⁷And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor except in their own hometown and in their own house.”^{* 58}And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
