THE KINGDOM PARABLES<br />
CHAPTER SEVEN<br />
THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE<br />
7.1 THE PARABLE<br />
Again the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls<br />
(oyster - pearls), who on finding one pearl (interpreter) of great value,<br />
went and sold all that he had and bought it"<br />
7.2 THE MERCHANT AND THE PEARLS<br />
The word merchant used here is one that is to be interpreted as a whole<br />
sale merchant - one who buys and sells on a large scale. He is said to be<br />
in search of fine pearls. The word used here exactly means oyster pearls.<br />
But the second word pearl is to be translated from original Greek as<br />
expounder or interpreter or one who explains clearly. (Refer Strong’s<br />
Concordance)<br />
