The Treasure, the Pearl, The Net Matthew 13

Pastor Tim walks you through the last three parables in the 13th chapter of Matthew and explains why he thinks the non-majority reading of the parable of the treasure is correct. Matthew 13:44–50 The Parable of the Hidden Treasure [44] “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. The Parable of the Pearl of Great Value [45] “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, [46] who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. The Parable of the Net [47] “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. [48] When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. [49] So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous [50] and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (ESV)
