Luke 20:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:37

Now that the dead are raised
Or that there will be a resurrection of the dead, this is a proof of it: even Moses showed at the bush:
when the Lord appeared to him out of it, and he saw it burning with fire, and not consumed; when the Lord called to him out of it by the following name, as he has recorded it in ( Exodus 3:6 ) . Hence it is said, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
for though the Lord called himself so, yet Moses likewise calls him by these names, when he gives an account of this affair, and when he went from him to the children Israel; (See Gill on Matthew 22:32).

Luke 20:37 In-Context

35 but not there. Those who are included in the resurrection of the dead will no longer be concerned with marriage
36 nor, of course, with death. They will have better things to think about, if you can believe it. All ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.
37 Even Moses exclaimed about resurrection at the burning bush, saying, 'God: God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob!'
38 God isn't the God of dead men, but of the living. To him all are alive."
39 Some of the religion scholars said, "Teacher, that's a great answer!"
