Mateus 13:44 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:44-46

Parables of the hid treasure and the pearl of price. These parables depict the two great classes of men who become Christians. Some men are born merchants, others day labourers; some, i.e., are born with a noble instinct which prompts them to believe that there is infinite joy and satisfaction to be found, and that it shall be theirs; others, again, never look beyond their present attainment, have no speculation in them, no broad plan of life nor much idea that any purpose is to be served... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:44-46

The chief good. The parable of the treasure and that of the pearl as they are here together may well be considered together, for the subject is the same. The repetition emphasizes the importance and value of the gospel. These parables set before us— I. THE CHIEF GOOD . 1 . What is it? 2 . Why is it hidden? (a) Lest they should insult them. The swine will trample on the pearl, and turn and rend the merchantman. (b) As a judgment upon their brutishness (cf. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:44-53

The parables addressed to the disciples. I. THE HIDDEN TREASURE . 1 . The story. Treasures were often hidden in fact, still more often in fiction. A man walked through the field; he lighted suddenly on the treasure. He hid it, again. It was his, probably, by right of finding. But in this parable, as in others, not every detail is to be pressed. Earthly stories cannot exactly express every feature of spiritual truth. One parable supplies the omissions of another; taken together,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:44

The kingdom of heaven - The gospel. The new dispensation. The offer of eternal life. See the notes at Matthew 3:2. The Saviour in this parable compares that kingdom to treasure hid in a field; that is, to money concealed; or more likely to a mine of silver or gold that was unknown to the owner of the field.He hideth - That is, he conceals the fact that he has found it; he does not tell of it. With a view of obtaining this, Jesus says that a man would go and sell his property and buy the field.... read more

Matthew 13:44. Again The three following parables were proposed, not to the multitude, but peculiarly to the apostles: the two former of them relate to those who receive the gospel; the third, both to those who receive, and those who preach it. The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field The kingdom of God, to be set up in the hearts of men, which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, or the salvation of the gospel, is a treasure indeed, but a treasure... read more

56. Hidden treasure; pearl; fishing net (Matthew 13:44-52)Two parables show that when people are convinced of the priceless and lasting value of the kingdom of God, they will make any sacrifice to enter it (Matthew 13:44-46). Yet those in the kingdom still live in a world where the righteous and the wicked exist together. Even among those who claim to be in the kingdom are the true and the false. These will be separated at the last judgment (Matthew 13:47-50).Jesus’ teachings are likened to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:44

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.V. Parable of the Treasure Hidden in the FieldThese parables, this one and the two immediately following, were spoken in the house, not to the multitudes by the seashore. In the case of the treasure, it was found when the finder was not looking for it; but in the case of the pearl, its discovery followed a long and diligent... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:44-46

Matthew 13:44-46. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure— These three following parables are proposed not so much to the multitude, as to the apostles particularly. The parable of the treasure which a man found hidden in a field, was designed to teach us, that some meet with the Gospel as it were by accident, and without seeking after it, agreeably to what the prophet Isaiah says, Isa 65:1 that God is found of them who seek him not. On the other hand, the parable of the merchant,... read more

44. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field—no uncommon thing in unsettled and half-civilized countries, even now as well as in ancient times, when there was no other way of securing it from the rapacity of neighbors or marauders. (Jeremiah 41:8; Job 3:21; Proverbs 2:4). the which when a man hath found—that is, unexpectedly found. he hideth, and for joy thereof—on perceiving what a treasure he had lighted on, surpassing the worth of all he possessed. goeth and selleth... read more
