Exegesis
The genitive construction tou speirantos {τοῦ σπείραντος | toû speí-ran-tos} ‘of the sower’ is a substantival participle specifying which parable is in view, namely the one involving the sower. Greek word order, placing humeis first and the imperative akousate near the front, foregrounds the hearers’ duty to understand, while the genitive phrase narrows the reference and signals that an interpretation of the previously told parable is about to follow.
In context — Matthew 13:18
Therefore you , listen to the parable of the sower.
