Exegesis
The nominative subject holos ho nomos {ὅλος ὁ νόμος | holos ho nomos} ‘the whole law’ is foregrounded, followed by the coordinated subject hoi prophetai {οἱ προφῆται | hoi prophetai} ‘the prophets,’ both governed by the present middle/passive verb krematai {κρέμαται | krematai} ‘hang/are suspended.’
In context — Matthew 22:40
In these two commandments , the whole Law and the Prophets hang.
