Exegesis
The statement typhloi eisin hodegoi typhlon {τυφλοί εἰσιν ὁδηγοὶ τυφλῶν | ty-phloí eî-sin ho-dē-goí ty-phlôn} forms a copular clause in which typhloi 'blind ones' functions as the predicate nominative and hodegoi 'guides', modified by the genitive typhlon 'of the blind', underscores the irony of impaired leadership.
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.
