50and throw them into the fiery furnace; in that place will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51“Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes.” Then He said to them, “Therefore every Torah scholar discipled for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure both new things and old.” 53Now when Yeshua had finished these parables, He left that place. 54Coming into His hometown, He began to teach them in their synagogue so that they were amazed. “Where did this fellow get this wisdom and these mighty works?” they said.
