Matthew 13:51-52
The kingdom-trained disciple understands Jesus’ teaching and stewards treasures new and old.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
The kingdom-trained disciple understands Jesus’ teaching and stewards treasures new and old.
Matthew records Jesus asking the disciples whether they have understood the kingdom parables and describing every scribe trained for the kingdom as a householder who brings out treasures new and old.
Jesus speaks to his disciples at the close of the parables discourse.
