Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist active imperative aphete {ἄφετε | á-phe-te} 'leave alone', directing the audience to disengage from the group referred to by autous {αὐτούς | au-toús} 'them'.
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.
