parable · parable of Jesus: “the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.” (Mt 13:47–48)
A net gathers fish of every kind and the sorting happens on the shore, not in the water. It closes Matthew's chapter of kingdom parables and pairs with the wheat and the tares.
