Matthew 13:48
When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
What it says
The fish are sorted when the net is full.
What it is doing
Sorting waits for completion.
In context
47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish. 48When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away. 49So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51Have you understood all these things?” 52Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
