and collecting
[fish] of every kind, [13:48]which, when it was full, men drew to the
shore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad
away. [13:49]So shall it be at the consummation of the world. The
angels shall come forth and separate the evil from the midst of the
good, [13:50]and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. [13:51]Have you understood all these
thing? They said to him, Yes, Lord. [13:52]And he said to them, Every
scribe therefore that is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like a
householder who casts out of his treasury things new and old.

8 [13:53]And when Jesus had finished these parables he departed thence,
[13:54] and coming to his native country he taught them in their
synagogues, so that they were astonished and said, Whence has this man
this wisdom and these mighty works? [13:55]Is not this the carpenter's
son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James, and
Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? [13:56]And are not his sisters all with

offended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without
honor, except in his native country, and in his own house; [13:58] and
he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

[14:2]and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised
from the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by
him. [14:3]For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in
prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. [14:4]For
John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her. [14:5]And
he wished to kill him; but feared the people, because they regarded him
as a prophet. [14:6]And Herod's birthday being kept, the daughter of
Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod, [14:7]on account of
which he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask;
[14:8]and she, having been put forward by her mother, said, Give me
here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

2 [14:9]And the king was sorry; but on account of the oath, and those
reclining with him, he commanded it to be given. [14:10]And he sent and
beheaded John in the prison; [14:11]and his head was brought on a plate
and
