Exegesis
The demonstrative houtos {οὗτός | hoútos} with the copula estin {ἐστιν | estin} creates an identification formula, equating the seed in good soil with a specific kind of hearer.
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.
