Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto treasure hid in the field, which when found, a man hides it and, for the joy thereof, goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls,
46
who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a net that was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind of fish,
48
which, when it was full, they drew to shore and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
