Exegesis
This infinitival clause governs a series of accusative objects anastasin {ἀνάστασιν | a-ná-sta-sin} ‘resurrection’, angelon {ἄγγελον | án-ge-lon} ‘angel’, and pneuma {πνεῦμα | pneû-ma} ‘spirit’, coordinated by repeated mēte {μήτε | mḗ-te} ‘neither/nor’, creating a rhythmic list of denied realities.
In context — Acts 23:8
For the Sadducees indeed say there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge them both.
