Matthew 13:46 In-Context

44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, that a man found [and] concealed, and in his joy he goes and sells everything that he has and buys that field.

45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.

46 And [when he] found one very valuable pearl, he went [and] sold everything that he possessed and purchased it.

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered [fish] of every kind,

48 which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down [and] collected the good [fish] into containers, but the bad they threw out.
