Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Matthew 13:44–52, built around the words: “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” (Matthew 13:46).

Walk a numbered map from a quiet house to a full net on the shore, then look closer at the plow, the chest, the pearl, the net and the scrolls new and old. Context, Greek words and the Prophet Joseph Smith’s insights help, while the focus stays on the Savior, whose kingdom is worth everything.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the plow, the chest, the joy, the goods, the scale, the pearl, the net, the basket and the scrolls
• Where are you? Found by surprise, still searching, letting go, or holding on, with check-ins
• Treasure or pearl? Finish each line, then add your own
• Their world, their words: two parables back to back, two ways to find, the gospel net, and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets teach about the worth of His kingdom
• Seek Him today: a question to ask in prayer, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Matthew 13, Primary and youth lessons on the worth of the gospel, and family home evening any year
