Exegesis
This is followed by the coordinated aorists epespeiren {ἐπέσπειρεν | epéspeiren} “he sowed” and apelthen {ἀπῆλθεν | apêlthen} “he went away,” forming a compact sequence of completed actions that emphasize the enemy’s swift, clandestine activity.
In context — Matthew 13:25
But while the people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away.
