Context
13:41 The Son of Man will send his angels , and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers .
13:42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace , where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father . The one who has ears had better listen !
Parables on the Kingdom of Heaven
13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure , hidden in a field , that a person found and hid . Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field .
13:45 “Again , the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls .
13:46 When he found a pearl of great value , he went out and sold everything he had and bought it .
13:47 “Again , the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish.
13:48 When it was full , they pulled it ashore , sat down , and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away .
13:49 It will be this way at the end of the age . Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous
13:50 and throw them into the fiery furnace , where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
13:51 “Have you understood all these things ?” They replied , “Yes .”
13:52 Then he said to them , “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old .”
Rejection at Nazareth
13:53 Now when Jesus finished these parables , he moved on from there .
13:54 Then he came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue . They were astonished and said , “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers ?
13:55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son ? Isn’t his mother named Mary ? And aren’t his brothers James , Joseph , Simon , and Judas ?
13:56 And aren’t all his sisters here with us ? Where did he get all this ?”
13:57 And so they took offense at him . But Jesus said to them , “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house .”
13:58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief .
