Matthew 13:41

     41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom—to which they never really belonged. They usurped their place and name and outward privileges; but "the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners [abide] in the congregation of the righteous" (Ps 1:5).

      all things that offend—all those who have proved a stumbling-block to others

      and them which do iniquity—The former class, as the worst, are mentioned first.

Matthew 13:52

     52. Then said he unto them, Therefore—or as we should say, "Well, then."

      every scribe—or Christian teacher: here so called from that well-known class among the Jews. (See Mt 23:34).

      which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven—himself taught in the mysteries of the Gospel which he has to teach to others.

      is like unto a man that is an householder which bringeth forth—"turneth" or "dealeth out."

      out of his treasure—his store of divine truth.

      things new and old—old truths in ever new forms, aspects, applications, and with ever new illustrations.

     Mt 13:53-58. HOW JESUS WAS REGARDED BY HIS RELATIVES. ( = Mr 6:1-6; Lu 4:16-30).
