Matthew 13:51-52

The secret of privileged wealth (with Q&A)

When a person has discovered, or achieved something of great value it is almost inevitable that they can't help speaking about it. Items are 'posted', status pages are updated, news travels. Jesus concludes his set of eight parables in Matthew 13 by describing his 'discipled' listeners as 'discipled scribes' in possession of glorious treasure. Such disciples won't be able to keep quiet about the riches they have been shown.
