  2. Scribes • Vs. 52 “Every student of Scripture instructed in the kingdom of heaven” • Literally & most translations: Scribe • Warren Wiersbe: “The scribes began as a noble group under the leadership of Ezra. Their purpose was to preserve the Law, study it, and apply its truths to daily life. Over the years, their noble cause degenerated into a routine task of preserving traditions and man-made interpretations, and adding burdens to the lives of the people” • Jesus is referring to all trained Christians; they are like Scribes . >
