MATTHEW 22:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. The Exodus 3:6 quotation: God identifies himself to Moses as the God of the patriarchs who had already died. But if God is the God of the dead rather than the living, the identification makes no sense — God is the God of the living, which means Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive in God's presence. The resurrection is implied in the patriarchal covenant: if God is their God, they must be alive.
