EasyEnglish Bible

⁴² The angels will throw those bad people into the great fire. There the people will cry and they will bite their teeth together.^{[a] 43} The people who obeyed God will shine like the sun. They will be in the kingdom of their Father. You have ears, so listen well to what I say!’

Jesus tells a story about a man who found valuable things in the ground

⁴⁴ ‘I can tell you again what the kingdom of heaven is like,’ Jesus said. ‘The kingdom of heaven is like some valuable things that a man buried in a field. Another man found it, but then he covered it over again with dirt. The second man was very happy and he went away. He sold everything that he had. Then he went and bought the field with the valuable things in it.’^[b]
