Matthew 13:47-49

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

God’s Kingdom Is Like a Net Catching Every Kind of Fish. The Bad Are Thrown Out

⁴⁷ “Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a drag-net^[a] having been cast into the sea and having gathered fish of every kind— ⁴⁸ which, when it was filled, having pulled it up on the shore, and having sat-down, they collected the good ones into containers and threw the bad^[b] ones outside. ⁴⁹ So it will be at the conclusion of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the evil ones out of the midst of the righteous ones.
