45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man seeking beautiful pearls: 46 and having found one pearl of great price, having gone away he sold all things, so many as he had, and bought it. 47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a net cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind; 48 which, when it was filled, drawing up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into baskets, and threw the bad away. 49 So it will be in the end of the age: the angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous, 50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 Do you understand all these things? They say to Him, Yea. 52 And He said to them, Therefore every scribe having been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man who is a landlord, who bringeth out of his treasure things both new and old. 53 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, He departed thence. 54 And having come into His own country He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence this wisdom and these miracles unto Him? 55 Is not He the son of the carpenter? is not His mother called Mary? are not His brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And are not His sisters all here with us? Whence then are these things to Him? 57 And they were offended in Him. And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house. 58 And He did not many mighty works there on account of their unbelief.
