First, there are separate parables here, but Jesus is giving the same teaching through each of them. Just to make it easy to see which verbs are participles and which are not, I have left the participles as they are and I have starred the non-participial verbs in the text. 44a - Jesus introduces the first parable by comparing the kingdom of heaven with treasure hidden in a field. 44b - The emphasis of the Greek verbage is on the non-participial aorist verb "covered". This is to say that the man, finding (ptcpl.) the treasure, *hid* it. The focus is on the fact that the man hid the treasure, which purposes to show that the man knew the treasure was of great value. 44b - The fact that the man FOUND the treasure (while finding is only a participle) is the action/situation that leads to his response in the rest of verse 44 (c-e) 44c - Jesus is intentional about saying that it is joy that brings the man to sell all of his possessions; this is the manner in which he goes, sells everything he has, and buys the field. 44d,e - Three distinct actions describe the man's joyful response to finding the treasure of great value in a field. First, he goes-- he leaves the field. Next, he sells everything he has. And then he buys the field. Listing these three distinct actions in the present tense (instead of conforming to the common Greek practice of using participles to list off actions followed by a non-participle that then takes the emphasis) may serve to suggest that the man did not dilly-dally, going about his life, keeping that treasure in his mind for many years, but immediately left, sold everything he had, and then bought the field. It is a series of actions, one immediately following the other. 45 - Jesus again uses a simile to introduce the next parable, and explains the simile in the following verse. 46a - He introduces the situation (a merchant looking for pearls finds one of great value). 46b - And shares the result (the man responds by selling everything he owned and bought the pearl). In both parables, the purpose of the man selling all that he had was to buy what he had found, which was clearly of much more value of all that he had. A good quote that likely arose from the study of these verses is, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
