Matthew 13:31 - 58

Jesus continues to teach His followers about the coming kingdom of God.  From seeming insignificant origins, it will spread to great dominance.  He then explains the teaching about the field with wheat and weeds growing in it.  Not everyone who claims to be in the kingdom will be proven to actually belong in the kingdom; their place is not secured due to their character as weeds not wheat.  The coming kingdom is of great value, a treasure that is fitting to be gained at any price.

In spite of His teachings, Jesus was rejected by those among whom He lived as a child.  As a result, the area of Nazareth was not allowed to receive the blessing of seeing His life and ministry.
