⁴⁴The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁴⁵Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.

⁴⁶Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴⁷Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes.

⁴⁸Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.

⁴⁹So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.

⁵⁰And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

⁵²He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.

Read in Logos

Matthew 13:44: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
