Matthew 13:51
because / by / thru this thing (understanding parables?) every scribe who has studied into (possibly within in this context) the realm of of the heavens like is a (hu)man housemaster ( in sense of owner of property sometimes translate householder not housekeeper / servant
who brings forth out of the treasur(y) his new and old (treasures)
A grammateus is generally presumed to be a "SCRIBE" or a scholar of the Jewish scriptures in the New testament but a grammateus can also be a teacher or clerk or someone who is literate and earns money by being literate.
This is 1st century ad Palestine an era in which many home owners Jewish or greek or hellenized jew or other pagans might have barely had the equivalent of say basic primary school .
Whether your education is secular or theological like a compotent home owner you should know how and when to make use of valuables you have in store.
This is a sound principle that can be applied to things other than parables and theology to knowledge and learning in general.
Use treasure wisely!
I'm a bit off schedule due to an ear infection and the joy of installing new software over the weekend.
