Matthew 13:52

"every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out from his treasure new and old things"



When looking at this verse within the context of its Story, written in the Literary form of the Parable, we know that this verse is how the words of Jesus are to be put into practice. The job discription of these scribes would have been to copy the word of God. Their treasure had to have been the word of God, both the old and the new. Now as disciples, they would write the words of Jesus in the narrative tradition of the Hebrew Scriptures as Stories written in the Literary form of the Parable.
