Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 13:27

_ _ So the servants of the householder came — that is, Christ’s ministers.

_ _ and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? — This well expresses the surprise, disappointment, and anxiety of Christ’s faithful servants and people at the discovery of “false brethren” among the members of the Church.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 13:24-43.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 13:27

Didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it darnel? — Not from the parent of good. Even the heathen could say, "No evil can from thee proceed: 'Tis only suffer'd, not decreed: As darkness is not from the sun, Nor mount the shades, till he is gone."
