“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.
Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a person who sowed good seed in his field,
When he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own field and another to his business.
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them with their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
