Exegesis
The apodosis amphoteroi eis bothynon pesountai {ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται | am-phó-te-roi eis bó-thy-non pe-soûn-tai} 'both will fall into a pit' places the emphatic pronoun amphoteroi 'both' first and concludes with the future middle indicative verb pesountai 'will fall' to emphasize the inevitable result.
In context — Matthew 15:14
Leave them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit.
