44. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he hides it, and, because of his joy, he goes and sells everything that he has, and he buys that field.
45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking good pearls.
46. Having found one pearl of great value, he went away and sold all that he had, and he bought it.
47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers together all kinds of fish.
