Exegesis
This participle governs a double accusative of graphas {γραφὰς | gra-phàs} ‘scriptures’ and dynamin {δύναμιν | dý-na-min} ‘power,’ linked by the negative conjunction mēde {μηδὲ | mḗ-de} ‘nor.’ In the formal version the rebuke remains direct to preserve structure, while the dynamic rendering transforms it into a causal statement for readability.
In context — Matthew 22:29
But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God .”
