The Hidden Treasure & The Ploughman

Saint Matthew - Chapter 13

The Hidden Treasure. J-J Tissot

[43] Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

[44] Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Saint Luke - Chapter 9

The Man at the Plough. J-J Tissot

[60] Dixitque ei Jesus : Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos : tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei.
And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.

[61] Et ait alter : Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his quae domi sunt.
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

[62] Ait ad illum Jesus : Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.
Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
