Exegesis
The sequence ou mē pisteusēte {οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε | ou mē pis-TEU-sē-te} combines two negatives with the aorist subjunctive to express a strong, emphatic future denial, essentially “you will certainly not believe.”
In context — Acts 13:41
Look, you despisers , and be astonished and perish , because I am doing a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, even if someone fully tells it to you.
