Exegesis
The equative clause houtos estin ho ton logon akouon {οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων | hoûtos estin ho tón lógon akoúon} restates and defines this subject by means of an articular present participle, “the one hearing the word,” highlighting ongoing, repeated hearing.
The singular verb sympnigei {συμπνίγει | sympnígei} governs the direct object ton logon {τὸν λόγον | tón lógon}, portraying these combined concerns and deceptions as a single choking force acting upon the word.
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.
