Matthew 13:51-58 Do you understand all these things?

We have been learning all about the parables in Matthew 13. I like how Matthew is grouping these parables on the Kingdom of heaven in one chapter. Jesus is using parables to speak to the crowd, but when the crowds disperse Jesus explains the parable of the sower and the wheat and weeds to the questioning disciples.

Some of the parables are not explained. 

So Jesus asks them. 


(51) “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.

“Yes,” they replied.

(52) “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old”.
