Matthew 13 44 “Again, the reign of the heavens is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man having found it, hid, and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45“Again, the reign of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. 47 “Again, the reign of the heavens is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was filled, they drew to shore. And they sat down and gathered the good into containers, but threw the rotten away. 49 “Thus shall it be at the end of the age: the messengers shall come forth, and separate the wicked out of the midst of the righteous, 50 and shall throw them into the furnace of fire – there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” 51 יהושע said to them, “Have you understood all this?” They said to Him, “Yea, Master.” 52 And He said to them, “Therefore every scholar of Scripture taught in the reign of the heavens is like a householder who brings out of his treasure matters, renewed, and old.”a 53 And it came to be, when יהושע had ended these parables, that He left there. 54 And when He had come to His own country, He taught them in their congregation, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this One get this wisdom and miracles? 55 “Is this not the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Miryam? And His brothers Ya‛aqoḇ and Yosĕph and Shim‛on and Yehuḏah? 56 “And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this One get all this?” 57 And they stumbled at Him. But יהושע said to them, “A prophet is not unappreciated except in his own country and in his own house.” 58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
