Exegesis
Between these, a conditional-hypothetical clause is introduced by kan {κἂν | kan} ‘and if’, formed from crasis of kai and ean, followed by the aorist subjunctive piōsin {πίωσιν | pí-ō-sin} ‘they might drink’ and the emphatic negation ou mē {οὐ μὴ | ou mḕ}.
In context — Mark 16:18
They will pick up snakes, and if they drink anything deadly , it will by no means harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will be well .
