Context of Luke 20:39
37It is true that God makes dead people become alive again. Moses showed us this in his report about the bush in the wilderness. He told us that our Lord God is the God of Abraham. He is the God of Isaac. And he is the God of Jacob. 38But God is not the God of people who are dead. He is the God of people who are alive. For God, all people continue to be alive.’ Some of the teachers of God's Law agreed with Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ they said, ‘that was a very good answer.’ 40After that, they were all afraid to ask Jesus any more questions. 41Jesus said to them, ‘Why do people say that the Messiah will be King David's son?
