Gospel Matthew 13:47-53

  • 47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers together all kinds of fish.

  • 48When it has been filled, drawing it out and sitting beside the shore, they selected the good into vessels, but the bad they threw away.

  • 49So shall it be at the consummation of the age. The Angels shall go forth and separate the bad from the midst of the just.

  • 50And they shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

  • 51Have you understood all these things?” They say to him, “Yes.”

  • 52He said to them, “Therefore, every scribe well-taught about the kingdom of heaven, is like a man, the father of a family, who offers from his storehouse both the new and the old.”

  • 53And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these parables, he went away from there.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
