Matthew 13:26 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. When the blade was sprung up - then appeared the tares also - Satan has a shoot of iniquity for every shoot of grace; and, when God revives his work, Satan revives his also. No marvel, therefore, if we find scandals arising suddenly to discredit a work of grace, where God has begun to pour out his Spirit.

Matthew 13:26
