Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
All Commentaries on Matthew 13:44 Go To Matthew 13
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
This treasure is indeed found without cost; for the Gospel preaching is open toall, but to use and possess the treasure with its field we may not without price, for heavenly riches are not obtained without the loss of this world.
