SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:46
que hallando una preciosa perla, fue y vendi todo lo que tenía, y la compr.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 44-52 - Here are four parables. 1. That of the treasure hid in the field. Man slight the gospel, because they look only upon the surface of the field. But all who search the Scriptures, so as in them to find Chris and eternal life, Joh 5:39, will discover such treasure in this fiel as makes it unspeakably valuable; they make it their own upon an terms. Though nothing can be given as a price for this salvation, ye much must be given up for the sake of it. 2. All the children of me are busy; one would be rich, another would be honourable, another woul be learned; but most are deceived, and take up with counterfeits for pearls. Jesus Christ is a Pearl of great price; in having him, we have enough to make us happy here and for ever. A man may buy gold too dear but not this Pearl of great price. When the convinced sinner see Christ as the gracious Saviour, all things else become worthless to his thoughts. 3. The world is a vast sea, and men, in their natural state are like the fishes. Preaching the gospel is casting a net into thi sea, to catch something out of it, for His glory who has the sovereignty of this sea. Hypocrites and true Christians shall be parted: miserable is the condition of those that shall then be cas away. 4. A skilful, faithful minister of the gospel, is a scribe, wel versed in the things of the gospel, and able to teach them. Chris compares him to a good householder, who brings forth fruits of las year's growth and this year's gathering, abundance and variety, to entertain his friends. Old experiences and new observations, all have their use. Our place is at Christ's feet, and we must daily learn ol lessons over again, and new ones also.

13:46 {He went and sold} (apelqwn pepraken). Rather eagerly and vividly told thus, "He has gone off and sold." The present perfect indicative, the dramatic perfect of vivid picture. qen he bought it. Present perfect, imperfect, aorist tenses together for lively action. Empor"i is a merchant, one who goes in and out, travels like a drummer.
