Luc 20:38

38 Or, Dieu n'est point le Dieu des morts, mais le Dieu des vivants; car tous vivent devant lui.

Luc 20:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:38

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living
(See Gill on Matthew 22:32) for all live unto him.
The Persic version, reads, "all these live unto him"; namely, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for though they are dead to men, they are not to God; their souls live with him, and their bodies will be raised by him: he reckons of them, as if they were now alive, for he quickens the dead, and calls things that are not, as though they were; and this is the case of all the saints that are dead, as well as of those patriarchs. The Ethiopic reads, "all live with him"; as the souls of all departed saints do; the Arabic version reads, all live in him; so all do now, ( Acts 17:28 ) .

37 Et, que les morts ressuscitent, c'est ce que montre aussi Moïse quand il nomme, au buisson ardent, le Seigneur, le Dieu d'Abraham, le Dieu d'Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob.

38 Or, Dieu n'est point le Dieu des morts, mais le Dieu des vivants; car tous vivent devant lui.

39 Et quelques-uns des scribes prenant la parole, dirent: Maître tu as bien parlé.

40 Et ils n'osaient plus lui faire aucune question.
