Exegesis
The second clause begins with the neuter articular phrase to de kalon sperma {τὸ δὲ καλὸν σπέρμα | tò dè ka-lón spé-rma} functioning as the subject, followed by the demonstrative houtoi {οὗτοί | hoú-toi} and the copula eisin {εἰσιν | eí-sin}; together they form an explanatory apposition, “the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom.”
