Exegesis
The second aorist participle synagagousē {συναγαγούσῃ | sy-na-ga-goú-sē} is coordinated conceptually with blētheisē, further depicting the dragnet as one that gathers, while the prepositional phrase ek pantos genous {ἐκ παντὸς γένους | ek pan-tós gé-nous} expresses the source and comprehensive scope of the catch (“from every kind”). In English, the participial string is rendered with finite verbs (“was cast,” “gathered/collecting”) to preserve natural flow and to reflect the sequence of actions, while retaining the inclusive nuance of ek pantos genous.
In context — Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered every kind :
