Cf.

[WH as above and p. 169]; Kühner, § 343, under the word; [Veitch, under the word; Winers Grammar, 84 (81); Buttmann, 33 (29); Curtius, Das Verbum, 2:402]); Sept. for יָכֹל; to be able, have power, whether by virtue of one's own ability and resources, or of a state of mind, or through favorable circumstances, or by permission of law or custom;
a. followed by an infinitive [Winers Grammar, § 44, 3] present or aorist (on the distinction between which, cf. Winer's Grammar, § 44, 7).

c. joined with an accusative, δύναμαί τι, to be able to do something (cf. German ich vermag etwas): Mark 9:22; Luke 12:26; 2 Corinthians 13:8, (and in Greek writings from Homer on).
