Matt. xiii. 52.
He did not teach that he who brought forth the old was one, and he that brought forth the new, another; but that they were one and the same.

And He called His disciples “scribes” and “teachers of the kingdom of heaven;” of whom also He elsewhere says to the Jews: “Behold, I send unto you wise men, and scribes, and teachers; and some of them ye shall kill, and persecute from city to city.”3900 3900
