Exegesis
The participle legōn {λέγων | lé-gōn} introduces direct discourse, followed by the imperative aphete {ἄφετε | á-phe-te} ‘leave alone’, urging others to refrain from interfering, and the hortatory subjunctive idōmen {ἴδωμεν | í-dō-men} ‘let us see’, which invites a group to observe what might happen.
In context — Mark 15:36
And someone, having run and having filled a sponge with vinegar , and having put it on a reed, was giving Him a drink, saying, “Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
