“13:44. The 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.

“13:45. Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good

pearls.

13:46. Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way,

and sold all that he had, and bought it.

13:47. Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea,

and gathering together of all kinds of fishes.

13:48. Which, 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.

13:49. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out,

and shall separate the wicked from among the just.

13:50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be

weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13:51. Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

13:52. He 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.”
