⁴⁹So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

Matthew 13:49World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

The parable assigns the separation of the wicked from the righteous to angels at the end of the world.

To understand

A net gathers fish of every kind. On the shore, fishermen keep the good fish and discard the bad; the explanation then turns to judgment and the furnace of fire.

A question

Who performs the separation in the parable’s explanation?
