Exegesis
The negation ou {οὐ | ou} with dynatai {δύναται | dýnatai} plus the infinitive leukanai {λευκᾶναι | leukânai} ‘to whiten’ conveys absolute inability. This contrast highlights the garments’ supernatural brilliance beyond any human skill.
In context — Mark 9:3
And His garments began to gleam, becoming extremely white—whiter than any launderer on earth is able to make them.
