Matthew 13 famously introduces what are known as Jesus' "Kingdom" parables. This chapter begins with four public parables, delivered before the crowds. At the conclusion of those parables, the disciples steal away with Jesus and seek an explanation. In that private meeting, Jesus follows His explanation with three more famous parables (The Hidden Treasure, The Pearl of Great Price, and The Dragnet).
Jesus follows His teaching with a check on learning: "Have you understood all these things?" They respond with a tentative "yes". In light of their response, Jesus dubs them "scribes" and proceeds to outline the duties and characteristics of scribes by way of one final parable, the parable of the "householder." What do scribes look like? Let's take a look at Jesus' teaching and explore three characteristics of the Savior's scribes.
