- Luke 20:38 sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.
- Luke 20:38 tn On this syntax, see BDF §192. The point is that all live “to” God or “before” God.
