“Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.”
Matthew 13:52 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on Matthew 13:52
When the multitude had departed, the Lord spoke to His disciples in parables, by which they were instructed only so far as they understood them; wherefore He asks them, 'Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.'
For this is spoken especially to the Apostles, whom He would have not to hear only as the multitude, but to understand as having to teach others.
Then He praises them because they had understood; He saith unto them; 'Therefore every Scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like unto an householder who bringeth out of his treasure things new and old.'
