CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainMatthew 13:36–43

Behold the unspeakable love of God towards men! He is ready to shew mercy, slow to punish; when He sows, He sows Himself; when He punishes, He punishes by others, sending His Angels to that.

It follows, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
