(47)Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea,
and colleting fish of every kind: (48)which, when it was full, they
drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets,
but cast those of a bad kind away. (49)Just so shall it be at the end
of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked

them, Have ye understood all these things? (52)They say unto him, Yes,

the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, the master of a family, who
bringeth out of his storehouse things new and old.

John, had bound him, and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias,
the wife of Philip his brother. (4)For John said unto him, It is
unlawful for thee to have her. (5)And though he wished to kill him, he
was afraid of the multitude, for they held him as a prophet. (6)But
when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the
circle, and pleased Herod: (7)so that with an oath he promised to give
her whatever she should ask. (8)And she, being previously urged on by

the Baptist. (9)And the king was grieved: but for his oath's sake, and
on account of those who were with him, he commanded it to be given her.
(10)And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. (11)And his head was
