Exegesis
Within the speech, the aorist imperative aphete {Ἄφετε | Áphete} ‘permit’ and the present imperative koluete {κωλύετε | kōlýete} ‘do not hinder’ form a balanced pair of positive and negative commands, both governing the infinitive erchesthai {ἔρχεσθαι | érchesthai} ‘to come’ and the object ta paidia {τὰ παιδία | tà paidía} ‘the children’.
In context — Mark 10:14
But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such as these belongs the kingdom of God .”
