The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

⁴⁴ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and ^(A)sells all that he has and ^(B)buys that field.

^29 (A)He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but ^(B)the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

¹¹ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and ^(A)that your joy may be full.

²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and ^(A)lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into ^(B)joy. ^21 (C)A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and ^(D)your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

²³ “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. ^(E)Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, ^(F)that your joy may be ^(G)full.

¹³ But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
