Exegesis
The aorist ēgorasen {ἠγόρασεν | ē-gó-ra-sen} ‘he bought’ then presents the decisive, climactic act of acquisition. In English, the participles are rendered with temporal clauses (“when he had found,” “he went away”) to preserve their adverbial force and sequence, while the perfect pepraken is translated with a simple past for natural idiom, leaving the sense of completed, costly action to be inferred from the context and the totalizing phrase “all that he had.”
In context — Matthew 13:46
But when he had found one very precious pearl , he went away and sold all that he had and bought it.
