Exegesis
The apodosis ou dynēsesthe katalysai autous {οὐ δυνήσεσθε καταλῦσαι αὐτούς | ou dynḗsesthe ka-ta-lû-sai au-toús} ‘you will not be able to overthrow them’ combines a future middle deponent with an aorist infinitive to convey inability to dismantle a divine work.
In context — Acts 5:39
But if it is from God , you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you even be found to be God-opposers. And they were persuaded by him.
