45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls. 46 And having found one very precious pearl, having gone away, he has sold all things, as many as he had, and bought it. 47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet having been cast into the sea and having gathered together of every kind, 48 which, when it was filled, having drawn it up on the shore and having sat down, they collected the good into vessels, and they cast out the bad. 49 So will it be in the consummation of the age: The angels will go out and will separate the evil from the midst of the righteous 50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. 51 Did you? understand all these things?” They say to Him, “Yes.” 52 And He said to them, “Because of this, every scribe having been discipled in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a master of a house, who puts forth out of his treasure new and old.” 53 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, that He withdrew from there. 54 And having come into His hometown, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they are astonished and are saying, “From where unto this One is this wisdom and the miracles?” 55 Is this not the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And are not all His sisters with us? Then from where are unto this One all these things?” 57 And they were taking offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and in his house.” 58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
