Exegesis
The future middle indicative arxesthe {ἄρξεσθε | árx-es-the} with the infinitive legein {λέγειν | lé-gein} forms a periphrastic construction “you will begin to say,” emphasizing the inception of a defensive reply.
In context — Luke 13:26
Then you will begin to say, “We shared a meal in Your presence and we drank, and You taught in our streets.”
