Exegesis
The verse begins with the articular phrase ho de eis tas akanthas spareis {ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς | ho dè eis tàs akánthas sparéis}, where the nominative aorist passive participle with its prepositional phrase functions substantivally, identifying “the one sown among the thorns” as the subject of the explanation.
Root and etymology

“master of a household”
In context — Matthew 13:22
But the one sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the care of this age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
