Exegesis
The deictic houtos {οὗτός | hoútos} 'this one' introduces an identification clause: houtos estin ho para tēn hodon spareis {οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν σπαρείς | hoútos estin ho pará tḕn hodón spareís}, where the articular participle spareis, modified by the prepositional phrase para tēn hodon 'by the path', labels this kind of hearer as the specific soil type in the parable. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause for clarity, and the articular participles are converted into relative or descriptive clauses that maintain the explanatory force of Jesus’ interpretation.
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.
