Matthew 13:44–52

⁴⁴The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; ⁴⁶and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it. ⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind, ⁴⁸which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out. ⁴⁹Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just, ⁵⁰and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord. ⁵²And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man that is a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
