Exegesis
Within the parabolic frame, the main verb exelthen {ἐξῆλθεν | exḗlthen} ‘went out’ precedes the subject ho speiron {ὁ σπείρων | ho speírōn} ‘the sower’, an articular present participle that characterizes the subject by his ongoing activity.
In context — Matthew 13:3
And He spoke many things to them in parables , saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow.”
