Matthew 13:45-58 ▼

45 Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a marchaunt man, seekyng goodly pearles.

46 Which, when he founde one precious pearle, went and solde all that he had, and bought it.

47 Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of all kynde:

48 Which when it was full, men drewe to lande, and sat downe, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the ende of the world: The Angels shall come foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iuste:

50 And shall cast them into a furnesse of fyre: there shalbe waylyng and gnasshyng of teeth.

51 Iesus sayth vnto them: haue ye vnderstande all these thynges? They say vnto hym: yea Lorde.

52 Then sayde he vnto them: Therfore, euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heauen, is lyke vnto a man that is an householder, whiche bryngeth foorth out of his treasure, thynges newe and olde.

53 And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

54 And when he came into his owne countrey, he taught them in their synagogues, in so much, that they were astonyed, and sayde: whence commeth this wysdome and powers vnto hym?

55 Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie? and his brethren, Iames, and Ioses, and Simon, and Iudas?

56 And are not all his sisters with vs? whence hath he then all these thynges?

57 And they were offended in hym. Iesus sayde vnto them: A prophete is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.

58 And he did not many mightie workes there, because of their vnbeliefe.
