| PARABLE
of the HIDDEN TREASURE |
| Thomas
109 |
| 1 |
Jesus said: |
|
The kingdom is like a man |
|
who had a treasure hidden in his field |
|
but did not know it. |
| 2 |
And [when] he died, |
|
he left it to his [son]. |
| 3 |
The son did not know [about the treasure]. |
|
He took possession of the field |
|
and sold it. |
| 4 |
The buyer went plowing, |
| |
[discovered] the treasure |
| |
and began to lend money at interest |
| |
to whomever he wished. |
| PARABLE
of the PEARL |
| Thomas
76 |
| 1 |
The kingdom of the Father is like a
merchant |
| |
who had a supply of merchandise |
| |
and then found a pearl. |
| 2 |
That merchant was shrewd; |
| |
he sold the merchandise |
| |
and bought the single pearl for himself. |
| PARABLE
of the NET |
| Thomas
8 |
| 1 |
The man is like a wise fisherman |
| |
who cast his net into the sea |
| |
and drew it up from the sea |
| |
full of little fish. |
| 2 |
Among them the wise fisherman
discovered |
| |
a fine large fish. |
| 3 |
He threw all the little fish back into the
sea |
| |
and easily chose the large fish. |
| 4 |
Whoever has ears to hear, |
| |
let him listen. |
