A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 13:46

"and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it." — Matthew 13:46 (ASV)

He went and sold (απελθων πεπρακεν). Rather eagerly and vividly told thus, "He has gone off and sold." The present perfect indicative, the dramatic perfect of vivid picture. Then he bought it. Present perfect, imperfect, aorist tenses together for lively action. Εμπορω is a merchant, one who goes in and out, travels like a drummer.
