The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Matthew 13:44

He sold everything to buy that field? 
’Twas zippo for a treasure concealed!

Traditional Chinese Translation

《隱藏寶藏的比喻》
他變賣一切所有的來買那塊地嗎?
比起一個隱藏的寶藏那算不得什麼!
