Next Verse |
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Note 1 at Mt. 13:46: The interpretation of this parable parallels that of the treasure hidden in a field (see note 1 at Mt. 13:44, above). The merchant man would be God who found a remnant who would love and obey Him, which is the Church (or pearl). God literally gave all that He had when He gave Jesus for our sins (Jn. 3:16; 2 Cor. 9:15) and purchased us unto Himself (Acts 20:28).
