Exegesis
Within that clause, ou dynēsontai {οὐ δυνήσονται | ou dy-nḗ-son-tai} expresses inability in the future, and it governs the two infinitives antistēnai {ἀντιστῆναι | an-ti-stê-nai} and anteipein {ἀντειπεῖν | an-tei-peîn}, which together cover both forceful resistance and verbal rebuttal.
In context — Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom , which all those opposing you will not be able to withstand or answer back.
