MATTHEW 13:47 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:”
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. The parable of the net is the seventh and final parable of the discourse: a dragnet that gathers fish of every kind. The every kind communicates the inclusive character of the kingdom's proclamation — the net gathers everything in the sea, both the acceptable and the unacceptable, requiring separation afterward.
