Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:
All Commentaries on Matthew 13:24 Go To Matthew 13
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Another parable he proposed. As in the preceding parable our Lord spoke of those who did not receive the word, so in this he speaks of those who receive the corrupted word; for it is a diabolical machination to confound error with truth. (St. Chrysostom in St. Thomas Aquinas)
There are three things worthy of observation in this parable. 1st. That the Church of God on earth consists of both good and bad; the 2d. that God is not the author of evil; the 3d. that God does not always punish the wicked on the spot, but patiently bears with them. (Menochius)
