Exegesis
In the first clause, ho de ekhthros ho speiras auta estin ho diabolos {ὁ δὲ ἐχθρὸς ὁ σπείρας αὐτά ἐστιν ὁ διάβολος | ho dè ekhthròs ho speíras autá estin ho diábolos}, the participial phrase ho speiras {ὁ σπείρας | ho speíras} functions attributively to define the enemy as “the one who has sown” the weeds, and the copula estin {ἐστιν | éstin} equates this specific enemy with ho diabolos.
The second clause, ho de therismos sunteleia aionos estin {ὁ δὲ θερισμὸς συντέλεια αἰῶνός ἐστιν | ho dè therismòs syntéleia aiōnós estin}, uses a predicate nominative, with sunteleia aionos {συντέλεια αἰῶνός | syntéleia aiōnós} presenting the harvest as the consummation of the present age.
