Exegesis
The copula estin {ἐστὶν | estín} links this subject phrase to the predicate nominative ho huios tou anthropou {ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | ho huiós tou anthrópou}, literally “the son of the man,” a recognized messianic self-designation used by Jesus. English word order is adjusted to a more typical subject–verb–complement sequence, and the substantival participle is rendered with a relative-like construction “the one who sows/plants” to preserve its ongoing action while remaining idiomatic. The repeated articles in Greek signal specificity and definiteness, which are retained where natural with “the” and otherwise left implicit.
