Luke 20:35-37
New English Translation

35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in[a] that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.[b] 36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angels[c] and are sons of God, since they are[d] sons[e] of the resurrection. 37 But even Moses revealed that the dead are raised[f] in the passage about the bush,[g] where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.[h]

  4. Luke 20:36 tn Grk “sons of God, being.” The participle ὄντες (ontes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle here.
  5. Luke 20:36 tn Or “people.” The noun υἱός (huios) followed by the genitive of class or kind (“sons of…”) denotes a person of a class or kind, specified by the following genitive construction. This Semitic idiom is frequent in the NT (L&N 9.4).
  6. Luke 20:37 tn Grk “But that the dead are raised even Moses revealed.”
