Exegesis
The third clause, hoi de theristai angeloi eisin {οἱ δὲ θερισταὶ ἄγγελοί εἰσιν | hoi dè theristaì ángeloi eisin}, again employs a simple copular structure in which eisin {εἰσιν | eisin} links the reapers directly with the angeloi. The tight parallelism and repeated copulas clarify the symbolic elements of the parable by matching each image (enemy, harvest, reapers) with its eschatological referent in a succinct explanatory style.
