SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:44–50: Jesus told some more parables about the kingdom of God

In this section, Jesus told three more parables. Each parable teaches something about the kingdom of God. The first parable tells a story about a treasure, and the second parable tells a story about a pearl. Both parables show that being in God’s kingdom is worth much more than all a person has. The third parable tells a story about a fishing net. Its meaning is similar to the parable of the weeds. It shows that good and bad people will live together for a while. But in the end, God will judge all people.

If the major language translation in your area breaks each parable into a separate section, you may want to follow that example. For example: 13:44 is “The parable of the hidden treasure,” 13:45–46 is “The parable of the pearl,” and 13:47–50 is “The parable of the fish net.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Three parables

Parables about a treasure, a pearl, and a fishing net

These three parables occur only in Matthew.

Paragraph 13:45–46

In this paragraph, Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to a pearl of great value (in 13:46a). The comparison is not to the merchant in the next phrase (13:45b).

In order to make the comparison clear, it may be necessary in some languages to change the order of some of the clauses in 13:45–46. For example:

45aAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like 46aa pearl of great value. 45bWhen a merchant who was searching for one 46afound one, 46bhe went and sold all that he had and bought it.

This parable teaches us the same lesson as the parable of the hidden treasure: the most important thing in a person’s life is to belong to God’s kingdom. A person should seek to belong to God’s kingdom at all cost.

13:46a

When he found one very precious pearl,

he: This word refers back to the merchant in 13:45b.

one very precious pearl: The Greek word that the BSB translates as very precious means “precious,” “valuable” or “genuine.” This is a different Greek word than the word translated as “fine” in 13:45b.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

very expensive

one that cost a lot of money

13:45–46

(reordered) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a pearl of great value. When a merchant who was searching for one found one, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

13:46b

he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

went away and sold all he had and bought it: This phrase is very similar to 13:44c. It implies that the merchant did not have enough money to buy the pearl. In order to buy it, he first had to go and sell all his possessions. Then with the money, he was able to buy the pearl.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

went and sold everything he owned and bought it

went and sold all his possessions to get enough money. Then he bought it.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην

one precious pearl

See how you translated “pearls” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [one piece of very valuable jewelry] or [one very valuable stone]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν, καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εὑρών δέ ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην ἀπελθών πέπρακεν παντᾶ ὅσα εἶχεν καί ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν)

The expression everything, as much as he had contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. See how you translated the similar phrase in [13:44](../13/44.md). Alternate translation: [everything that he had and]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

13:1-53 In the third major discourse recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (13:14, 16) and began to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom privately to them through parables.
