SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:32
YO SOY el Dios de Abraham y el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob? Dios no es Dios de los muertos, sino de los que viven.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:32
Verse 32. I am the God of Abraham] Let it be observed, that Abraham was dead upwards of 300 years before these words were spoken to Moses: yet still God calls himself the God of Abraham, &c. Now Christ properly observes that God is not the God of the dead, (that word being equal, in the sense of the Sadducees, to an eternal annihilation,) but of the living; it therefore follows that, if he be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, these are not dead, but alive; alive with God, though they had ceased, for some hundreds of years, to exist among mortals. We may see, from this, that our Lord combats and confutes another opinion of the Sadducees, viz. that there is neither angel nor spirit; by showing that the soul is not only immortal, but lives with God, even while the body is detained in the dust of the earth, which body is afterwards to be raised to life, and united with its soul by the miraculous power of God, of which power they showed themselves to be ignorant when they denied the possibility of a resurrection.
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!
