Matthew 13:
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea, gathering things of every kind.
48 When it was filled, they pulled it ashore; and they sat down and gathered up the good into containers, but threw the bad away.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace; in that place will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
…He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
….Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Another parable spake he unto them;
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:”
