45`Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls,
46who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.
47`Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind,
48which, 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,
49so 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,
50and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.`
51Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?` They say to him, `Yes, sir.`
