He said to him, if they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead — the final word: if Moses and the Prophets cannot produce repentance, neither will a resurrection. The anticipated exception — someone rising from the dead — is made explicit and then denied as effective. This is the chapter's most significant prophetic statement: the resurrection of Jesus will not convince those who have rejected the Scriptures.
