Exegesis
The aorist verb eipan {εἶπαν | eîpan} ‘they said’ governs the dative pronoun auto {αὐτῷ | autō} ‘to Him’, followed by the present middle indicative dunametha {Δυνάμεθα | dunamé-tha} ‘we are able’, which presents their self-assessment as a current, ongoing stance.
In context — Mark 10:39
And they said to Him, “We are able.” But Jesus said to them, “The cup which I drink, you will drink; and the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized.”
