New Testament

Matthew 13:41-53 Modern English Version (MEV)

41. The Son of Man shall send out His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who do evil,

42. and will throw them into a fiery furnace. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

44. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid. And with joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

46. who, on finding one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

47. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered all kinds of fish.

48. When it was full, they drew it to shore, sat down, and gathered the good into baskets, but threw the bad away.

49. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous

50. and throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

51. Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all of these things?”They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

52. Then He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who is discipled for the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is master of the household who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

53. When Jesus finished these parables, He departed from there.
