Exegesis
The noun phrase hē basileia tōn ouranōn {ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν | hē basileía tōn ouranōn} ‘the kingdom of the heavens’ functions as the grammatical subject, and estin {ἐστιν | éstin} ‘is’ forms an equative clause that defines the kingdom by comparison.
In context — Matthew 20:1
For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a householder , who went out at dawn to hire workers for his vineyard.
