Luke 20:37

37 But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord `The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

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 as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage.

36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

37 But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord `The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

38 He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."

39 Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
