Exegesis
Within the quotation, the aorist imperative aphete {Ἄφετε | Á-phe-te} issues a decisive command to “allow” or “release,” while the coordinated present imperative me koluete {μὴ κωλύετε | mḕ kō-lý-e-te} adds a continuing prohibition, creating a balanced positive–negative pair of instructions.
In context — Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, “Allow the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of the heavens belongs to such as these.”
