44 The kingdom of heavens is like to treasure hid in a field, which a man that findeth, hideth; and for joy of it he goeth, and selleth all things that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a merchant, that seeketh good margarites [or good pearls];
46 but when he hath found one precious margarite, he went, and sold all things that he had, and bought it.
