Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

The water is Christ's symbol for the physical realm. Having discussed the emotional and intellectual aspects of recognizing what is valuable, he moves to a physical collection rather than an emotional discovery or an intellectual search described in the last two parables. This first verse describes the indescriminate gathering of everything together.

Symbols deciphered version: The supremacy of spirit is like a large net that is thrown into the [physical world] and brings together every type of thing.

"Net" is from sagênê , which means a "large drag-net."

"Cast" is from ballo, which means "to throw."

"Gathered" is from sunago, which Matthew uses to indicate the general bringing together of things with the sense of uniting them. This is the unselective sense of gathering as contrasted with sullego, also translated as "to gather" but which means a selective gathering, a picking particular things as opposed to bringing together everything.

"Every" is from pas, which means "all."

"Kind" is from genos, which means "race," "stock," "direct decent," "tribe," "sex," "species," and "class."
