44. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
46. and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48. which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
