Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of
every kind:
48

into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

man
all these
things?

because of their unbelief.
