Exegesis
The predicate construction homoia estin he basileia ton ouranon {ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν | ho-mói-a es-tín hē ba-si-leí-a tōn ou-ra-nôn} places the adjective homoia “like” in the nominative feminine, agreeing with basileia and emphasizing the simile.
In context — Matthew 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a merchant , seeking beautiful pearls.
