Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
All Commentaries on Matthew 13:48 Go To Matthew 13
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
At the end of this present age the good fish are to be sorted into baskets and the bad ones thrown away. Then all the elect will be received into eternal dwellings, and the condemned will be led away into external darkness, since they have lost the light of the kingdom within them. Meanwhile the fishing net of faith holds us together as intermingled fish both good and bad.
