The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
Now here's a commentary from the thumper that makes sense. Did you know that in the days when Jesus was teaching, people use to bury their possessions because there were no banks?
We already mentioned the fact that people would trade their riches for pearls and then hide the pearls in the lining of their clothing so that the tax collectors and thieves wouldn't find their riches. That was in the Sermon on the Mount right?

"Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
