Exegesis
The verb erchetai {ἔρχεται | érchetai} 'comes' is followed by harpazei {ἁρπάζει | harpázei} 'snatches', creating a vivid sequence of hostile action directed at the object to esparmenon {τὸ ἐσπαρμένον | tó esparménon} 'the thing that has been sown', an articular perfect participle referring back to the seed of the parable.
In context — Matthew 13:19
For everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding , the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one sown by the path.
