Matthew13:52
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, that is an housholder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new, and old.
Seeing you understand these things, Communicate your knowledge of them unto others, do not know for your selves alone. Every Scribe that is instructed to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Scribes amongst the Iews, were not only Clerks, that were imployed in Writing; but Teachers of the Law, such a one was Ezra ch. 7. v. 6. Our Saviour here by Every Scribe instructed to the Kingdom of God, understandeth every good Minister of the Gospel, fitted to promove the Kingdom of God, to be imployed in the Church of God, should be like a good Housholder, that hath not his Provision to seek, when his Guests come; but hath a full fraught Store-house, and hath nothing to do, but out of his Stock, and Store-house, to bring out all sort of Provision, according to the various Pallats of his Guests: Ministers of the Gospel, should not be Novices, 1 Tim. 3.6. Raw, and Ignorant men, but Men mighty in the Scriptures, well acquainted with the Writings of the Old, and New Testament, and the Sense of them, Men that have a stock of spiritual Knowledge, able readily to speak, a Word to the Weary, and to speak to Men and Womens particular Cases, and Questions.
