Verse
Matthew - ch 13 v 41 - 58
- the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the unlawlessness,
- and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
- `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field.
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls,
- who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind,
- which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out,
- so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous,
- and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.'
- Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.'
- And he said to them, `Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens, is like to a man, a householder, who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old.'
- And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these similes, he removed thence,
- and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, `Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works?
- is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
- and his sisters -- are they not all with us? whence, then, to this one all these?'
- and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, `A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house:'
- and he did not there many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
