Commentary on the Gospel for the Resumed 5th Sunday after Epiphany (Matthew 13:24-30) - The man who sows the good seed is the son of man, that is, Jesus Christ, and the field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the bad seed are the children, as our Lord says, of the wicked one. And the enemy that sows the evil seed is the devil, and the reapers who gather up the cockle to burn them, and the wheat for the harvest, those reapers are actually the angels.
