Exegesis
The preposition pros {πρὸς | pròs} governs the accusative tauta {ταῦτα | taû-ta} ‘these things’, indicating the target of the unmade response and referring back to the questions Jesus posed. The sequence—negation, finite verb, infinitival complement, then prepositional phrase—places primary focus on their utter inability before identifying the nature and object of the withheld reply.
In context — Luke 14:6
And they were not able to answer him in response to these things .
