Exegesis

The plural future verb ekbalousin {ἐκβαλοῦσιν | ek-ba-loû-sin} “they will cast out” takes daimonia {δαιμόνια | dai-mó-ni-a} “demons” as its direct object, while the following future verb lalēsousin {λαλήσουσιν | la-lḗ-sou-sin} “they will speak” governs the dative phrase glōssais kainaīs {γλώσσαις καιναῖς | glṓs-sais kai-naîs} “with new tongues.” These coordinated future indicative verbs share the implied subject “they,” referring back to “those who have believed,” and present the actions as sure results rather than mere possibilities. The dative glōssais with the adjective kainaīs indicates the manner or medium of speaking, emphasizing the qualitative “newness” of the tongues. In translation, the main clause structure was preserved (“these signs will follow/accompany those who believe”), with the two future plural clauses rendered as coordinated promises. The prepositional phrase “in My name” was kept close to the beginning of the second part of the sentence to maintain its role as the overarching basis for both exorcism and inspired speech.
