Block Diagram: `13.37 And` `in reply` `(A)¹ he said,` `(1)13.44 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure` `hidden in a field,` `having found` `which one hid` `and` `with joy` `--- departs` `and` `--- sells all` `which he has` `and` `--- buys that field.` `(2)13.45 Again the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant` `seeking fine pearls.` `13.46 And` `when he found one pearl of high value,` `having departed` `(3) he sold everything` `which he had,` `and` `(4) -- bought it.` `(5)13.47 Again the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet` `cast out` `into the sea` `and` `having gathered some of all kinds;` `13.48 when it was full` `which having pulled up` `onto the shore` `and` `having sat down` `(6) they collected the good fish` `into baskets` `but` `(7) the worthless they threw away.` `(8)13.49 Thus will it be` `at the end of the age;` `(9) the angels will go out` `and` `(10) they will separate the evil` `from among the righteous` `13.50 and` `(11) they will cast them` `in the furnace of fire;` `(12) there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.` `(13)13.51 Have you understood all these things?` `(B) They say` `to him,` `Yes!` `13.52 And` `(C) he said` `to them,` `For this reason` `(14) every scribe is like the householder` `instructed \|` `in the Kingdom of Heaven` `\|` `who brings the new and old` `out of his treasure.` ------------------------- ¹The narrative introduction to 13:44-52 begins in 13:37.
