Stories of a Treasure and a Pearl

⁴⁴ “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. One day a man found the treasure, and then he hid it in the field again. He was so ·happy [joyful; excited] that he went and sold everything he owned to buy that field.

⁴⁵ “Also, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. ⁴⁶ When he found a very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.
