Matthew 13:44-54

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁴⁵ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.

⁴⁶ Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴⁷ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.

⁴⁸ Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.

⁴⁹ So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.

⁵⁰ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹ Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

⁵² He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.

⁵³ And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.

⁵⁴ And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?
