“…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

2 Timothy 2:2

“After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions… And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.”

Luke 2:46 + 52

“If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.”

Ecclesiastes 10:10
