Both occurrences use ἀδυνατήσει as a third-person future active indicative in a statement that “nothing” will be impossible. In Luke 1:37 the APB renders, “For nothing will be impossible with God”; in Matthew 17:20 it renders that nothing will be impossible for those addressed in the context of mustard-seed faith and a mountain's movement.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause with “nothing will be impossible” in both verses. Luke 1:37 places this with God, while Matthew 17:20 places it in Jesus' statement about faith.
