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 those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

36 For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses shown at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him."

39 Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
