Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi ten kalen gen {ἐπὶ τὴν καλὴν γῆν | epì tèn kalḕn gên} precedes the participle spareis {σπαρείς | spareís}, forming a substantival article–participle construction “the one sown on the good ground,” where the seed is the recipient of the sowing.
In context — Matthew 13:23
But the one who was sown upon the good ground—this is the person who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: in one case a hundred, in another sixty, and in another thirty.
