SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:31

Y de la resurreccin de los muertos, ¿no habis leído lo que es dicho de Dios a vosotros, que dice:

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:31

Verse 31. Have ye not read] This quotation is taken from Exodus iii. 6, 16; and as the five books of Moses were the only part of Scripture which the
Sadducees acknowledged as Divine, our Lord, by confuting them from those books, proved the second part of his assertion, "Ye are ignorant of those very scriptures which ye profess to hold sacred."

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. But as touching the resurrection of the dead , etc.] In
proof of that doctrine, and which will greatly serve to confirm and establish it, and that it may appear that the dead are, or will be raised, and to put it out of all doubt, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God , as Mark adds, in the book of Moses; which was written by him, the book of ( Exodus 3:6) and though the words were spoke to Moses, yet were designed for the use, instruction, and comfort of the Israelites; not only at that time, but in succeeding ages, they being the posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; whose God the Lord there declares himself to be.

Moreover, whereas these words were spoken by God to Moses, there is some little difficulty occasioned, by Lukes representing them to be the words of Moses; for he says, Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, etc. which may be removed by observing, that the sense is, that when Moses showed to the children of Israel, what he heard and saw at the bush on Mount Sinai, he called the Lord by these names, in which he spoke of himself to him; he recited to them what the Lord said to him; and indeed he was bid to say to them these words; (see Exodus 3:14-16) saying , as follows, Ver. 32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob , etc.] The Sadducees expressly denied, that the resurrection could be proved out of the law. Says R. Eliezer, with R. Jose f1192 , I have found the books of the Sadducees to be corrupt; for they say that the resurrection of the dead is not to be proved out of the law: I said unto them, you have corrupted your law, and ye have not caused anything to come up into your hands, for ye say the resurrection of the dead is not to be proved out of the law; lo! he saith, ( Numbers 15:31) That soul shall be utterly cut off, his iniquity shall be upon him; he shall be utterly cut off in this world; his iniquity shall be upon him, is not this said with respect to the world to come?.

Hence, in opposition to this notion of the Sadducees, the other Jews say f1193 , that Though a man confesses and believes that the dead will be raised, yet that it is not intimated in the law, he is an heretic; since it is a fundamental point, that the resurrection of the dead is of the law.

Hence they set themselves, with all their might and main, to prove this doctrine from thence, of which take the following instances f1194 . Says R. Simai, from whence is the resurrection of the dead to be proved out of the law? From ( Exodus 6:4) as it is said, I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan: to you it is not said, but to them; from hence then, the resurrection of the dead may be proved out of the law.

The gloss upon it is, the sense is, that the holy blessed God, promised to our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them the land of Israel; and because he gave it to them, has he not given it to their children? But we learn from hence, that they shall be raised, and that God will hereafter give them the land of Israel.

And which the learned Mr. Mede takes to be the sense of the words of this text, cited by our Lord;, and this the force of his reasoning, by which he proves the resurrection of the dead. Again, the Sadducees asked Rabban Gamaliel, from whence does it appear that the holy blessed God will quicken the dead? He said unto them, out of the law, and out of the prophets, and out of the Hagiographa; but they did not receive of him (or regard him): out of the law, as it is written, Thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and rise up, ( Deuteronomy 31:16) And there are that say from this Scripture, ( Deuteronomy 4:4). But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God, are alive every one of you this day: as this day all of you stand, so in the world to come, all of you shall stand.

Thus our Lord having to do with the same sort of persons, fetches his proof of the doctrine of the resurrection out of the law, and from a passage which respects the covenant relation God stands in to his people, particularly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and which respects not their souls only, but their bodies also, even their whole persons, body and soul; for God is the God of the whole: and therefore as their souls now live with God, their bodies also will be raised from the dead, that they, with their souls, may enjoy everlasting glory and happiness; which is the grand promise, and great blessing of the covenant of grace. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living ; as all the saints are; for though their bodies are dead, their souls are alive, and their bodies will be raised in consequence of their covenant interest in God, to enjoy an immortal life with him: so the Jews are wont to say, that the righteous, even in their death, are called living f1195 : from whence is it proved, (say they,) that the righteous, even in their death, yyj yywrq , are called living? from ( Deuteronomy 34:4) as it is written, and he said unto him, this is the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying.

Menasseh ben Israel, a learned Jew, of the last century, has produced f1196 this same passage of Scripture, Christ here does in proof of the immortality of the soul, and argues from it in much the same manner: having mentioned the words, he adds, for God is not the God of the dead, for the dead are not; but of the living, for the living exist; therefore also the patriarchs, in respect of the soul, may rightly be inferred from hence to live.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 23-33 - The doctrines of Christ displeased the infidel Sadducees, as well a the Pharisees and Herodians. He carried the great truths of the resurrection and a future state, further than they had yet bee reveled. There is no arguing from the state of things in this world, a to what will take place hereafter. Let truth be set in a clear light and it appears in full strength. Having thus silenced them, our Lor proceeded to show the truth of the doctrine of the resurrection from the books of Moses. God declared to Moses that he was the God of the patriarchs, who had died long before; this shows that they were then in a state of being, capable of enjoying his favour, and proves that the doctrine of the resurrection is clearly taught in the Old Testament a well as in the New. But this doctrine was kept for a more ful revelation, after the resurrection of Christ, who was the first-fruit of them that slept. All errors arise from not knowing the Scripture and the power of God. In this world death takes away one after another and so ends all earthly hopes, joys, sorrows, and connexions. Ho wretched are those who look for nothing better beyond the grave!
