Read in context

Matthew 13:47–51 · Berean Standard Bible

47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48 When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.

49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous,

50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
