Matthew 13:45

The Parable Of The Valuable Pearl

⁴⁴ The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; ⁴⁶ and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
