Matthew 13:44–52

Parable of the Hidden Treasure

⁴⁴“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and ⁿsells all that he has and ^obuys that field.

Parable of the Pearl of Great Price

⁴⁵“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, ⁴⁶who, when he had found ^pone pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Parable of the Dragnet

⁴⁷“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and ^qgathered some of every kind, ⁴⁸which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. ⁴⁹So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, ^rseparate the wicked from among the just, ⁵⁰and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

Parable of the Householder

⁵¹⁴Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?”

They said to Him, “Yes, ⁵Lord.”

⁵²Then He said to them, “Therefore every ⁶scribe instructed ⁷concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure ^sthings new and old.”
