The fifth episode of Stories for the Waiting Room investigates Matthew's treatment of the Treasure in the Field and the Pearl of Great Price. Dr. Proctor suggests both Matthew's arrangement of the two stories and his selection of Greek verb tense within them suggests the First Evangelist aimed to present the pair as a set of conjoined fraternal twins. The two parables in Matt 13:44-46 thus make separate points about the kingdom’s “hiddenness” and “costliness” that nevertheless entail one another. Should Matthew’s audience hitch their wagon to the message of either story, they will soon find its sibling’s twin claim in tow as well; for the stories’ proximity to one another and their structural similarity do not allow for their convenient separation. While all who locate the Kingdom of God's whereabouts should consider themselves fortunate, they must all pay a stiff fee to acquire it, one requiring they break from their morally suspect past.
