Exegesis
The causal construction dia touto {διὰ τοῦτο | di-á toû-to} introduces a reason clause that governs the finite verb energousin {ἐνεργοῦσιν | e-ner-goû-sin}; its subject is hai dynameis {αἱ δυνάμεις | haí dy-ná-meis}, a nominative plural referring to miraculous powers.
In context — Matthew 14:2
And he said to his servants , “This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and because of this, the powers are working in him.”
