The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price

45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,
46 who, when he had found aone pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.  

The Parable of the Dragnet

47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and agathered some of every kind,  
48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, aseparate the wicked from among the just,  
50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
51 1Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes,2 Lord.”  
52 Then He said to them, “Therefore every1 scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure athings new and old.”

Matthew 13:47

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind—The word here rendered "net" signifies a large drag-net, which draws everything after it, suffering nothing to escape, as distinguished from a casting-net (Mark 1:16, Mark 1:18). The far-reaching efficacy of the Gospel is thus denoted. This Gospel net "gathered of every kind," meaning every variety of character.
